The story of Camper


eya, I'm quite bored today and a bit irritated due to my situation over the last few weeks/month(S).

As some of you might know I was supposed to join SK-Gaming alongside with Sam 'SammyK' Kendall however things did NOT work out how it was supposed to and Promises were made by certain people which by now seem quite empty and relatively pointless in my eyes.

Camper will be in SK and that is a promise i make to him now
*as we all KNOW this is yet to happen so I thought why not post my story on decerto so people will know how i got to the place i am today and also hopefully learn a little from my "mistakes" during my time in eSports.

I started of with eSports when i saw it on 60 minutes when they did a portrait interview with Jonathan 'Fatal1ty' Wendell which i presume most of you know who is. Where he told about his trips and how he did things til today, also i have gotten the honor to meet him face to face in Oslo,Norway in a Quake4 duell where I was the second on his Eurotour to get a frag on him so I got a little eFame from that(quite cool at the time) around this time my friend Tim Robin 'Ethnic' Haug and his team Fastswitch/Oslo Lions(im getting to that soon) wanted me to manage him and his team this was before oslo lions and fastswitch. They were called Zero Effort which was feared by many Norwegian teams out there as they basically won mostly every/anything there was to win in Norway , during this time a relatively known Norwegian manager and pc gamer Christophe 'Monk' Roblin got contacted by Jeremy 'ZpiKe' Cornier or the other way around asking if they would like to join up and grow stronger together as Monk already had one of the best CSS teams (that were non related to THE CGS) in Europe. Monk got interested in me as well after my time as a writer in the norwegian site called Battle.no(Norwegian battlefield community owned by TV2) this is really when I started to learn things and gain pay loads of experience from Monk for which i am very greatfull.

As fastswitch said they would go to XL3 where they placed 3 in the 4v4 halo tournament and got a bit known for their achievement there this also gave them the spirit and morale to continue on with the travels to XL every now and then. Then Call of Duty4*came out and i fell in love with the game might sound dumb but w/e. I played it alot on the PC as i didn't like to play fps on the console and got around a few clans played a few cups and tourny's where we did rather ok. Team Kry*was the team i was to place 5th at The Gathering 08 Optimus Prime in Call of Duty4 which really was the prime time of COD in Norway. However i had to stop playing due to school and some other private stuff so i started to play FPS on the xbox360 which really didn't require "that much time" from me. This is really where it all started for me, I played a matchbox360 FFA tournament and didn't do any good at all but o well... I got in touch with fonzie and really got to know him and his amazing team called Genetix Gaming which in my eyes where one of the most awesome teams out there (socially speaking) with XL approaching. My mom wasn't to happy about the thought of me going to Birmingham to play video games but after a mail from Fonzie (I OWE YOU FOR THAT MAIL) my mom decided to let me go after all.

A few months later XL6 was coming up and i had started to play a lot with Macc ,excelio , boffen , skams , LuDo and lots of other norwegians out there. We decided to merge the halo team with us the cod team to make the strongest norwegian console team ever made but as some of you might know I left after XL6 due to personal problems within the team it's not something im proud of but i felt it was right at the time so they could focus on their game instead of arguing over nothing. As time went by i wanted to go back to my writing and sent an application to dignitas which was really great as i learned alot from ODEE, SUI and MepH. I went to the dreamhack qualifiers in Oslo,Norway and played streetfighter and got 2nd place(Great success) and was supposed to go to dreamhack summer to play there but due to some exams i couldn't make it. which was rather sad :/. and then came UKeSA where I flew over to London to meet the cod4 guys in dignitas which was really good to see all of you again. I met shin,Emo,ChillaZ, Millo , phaz , Mellow and SammyK. really good seing you! Also really awesome meeting Dan , Rums, Doped and Gunsh. And as always i brought some norwegian chocolate over to hand out to the guys.


After UKeSA i went straight over to Ethnic's place and had a halo3 lan for 2 weeks with paintball and bowling pluss loads of other stuff aswell. During this time i went VERY VERY inactive as a writer for dignitas(not the smartest thing you can do as a writer in dignitas or in general!) and did some other things that i won't be going into here. During the time Sammy had established himself within YoYotech and did loads of work for them untill we all got booted out due to the economical crisis. So Sammy , me and Smartiez decided to keep together for as long as we could so that we could get into an org together and continue our good cooperation for as long as we could. SmartieZ left to work on eGo which we understood very well. so that left me and Sammy with RxG so we decided to write an big application pack which we sent around to a few orgs like SK , Fnatic just to mention some of the organizations that received it. Fnatic and SK both got very interested in the team and us at the time being, fnatic did long interviews with Sammy which after what i got told went very well.

SK seemed more and more eager to get us in to their organization and hence posted a news post on their website welcoming RxG , Sammy and cazuall. Leaving me alone(Badtimes) without anything to do at all. And as decerto posted up the news about RxG joining forces with SK , Fnatic instantly withdrawed them self from RxG and everything around them.
Now I personally can't remember how long ago it is since i got f*cked over by SK and lot but yeah I felt like it was the right thing to do so that everyone on here would get to know my story and the story around RxG and SK
