The Legend of GeT_RiGhT: The Immortal Founding Father of CSGO

Christopher ‘GeT_RiGhT’ Alesund is a Counter-Strike legend. With a career spanning nearly two decades, he’s one of the founding fathers of CS:GO. From small beginnings to Major titles, here’s the story behind one of gaming’s true immortals.

GeT_RiGhT isn’t retired yet ⁠— he’s just “on a long break”. Those are the words of the 31-year-old Counter-Strike legend, whose career in the game spanned some 15 odd years.

He is considered one of the greatest players of all time. GeT_RiGhT made history in the early days of CS:GO on Ninjas in Pajamas, performing at its peak until mid-2020 when he came down from Dignitas.

CS:GO’s immortal founding father opened up on his Counter-Strike journey, including his friendship with Patrik ‘f0rest’ Lindberg, iconic map player 87, and his future.
