i am 35yo this year, 1.5/1.6 was my childhood, playing cs all day and night nothing else mattered. IRC, (5on5 / high / server on), ventrilo, limewire, thesgl, enemydown. The original Counter-strike is the best fps game ever made. The best times of my life.
He seems such an amazing person, down to earth, humble, well deserved! He was one of the reasons I started playing CS in a more serious manner, jesus, it's been 23 years since I started playing, I am 42 today and still watch the scene as much as I can but these guys stuck in my memories along with many others from that time. We were all trying to catch a slot on hltv to watch those big games, to watch these guys perform. Unforgetable. Thanks HLTV for bringing back the memories!
@@stenRS I don't play anymore, but when I played around 2003, there were already cheaters, they were not discrete, turning around non stop and headshoting everybody.
yes yes I remember something like that, when there were tournaments, we had to get some ip provided by hltv, launch the game, and connect to that IP, and sometimes server was full you had to wait somebody to disconnect.
Im 40 now and recently started playing 1.6 again! I remember when Potti HeatoN XeqteR were superstars and how amazing it was that the stupid mod for hl became sport. That was the birth of everything! And you guys are remembered and given respect for what u did back in them crt monitors lol
Imagine watching the start of competitive CS with the legendary era of Potti, Heaton etc. Knowing that superstars like Donk was not even borned at the time.

When we made good hits in the 2000s, we used to say you are like potti :) legendary
Pott1, HeatoN, Medion, XeqtR, Hyb ❤ And later on SpawN, vesslan etc. Im tuning 40 this year, oh god All those hours we spent on LAN and mIRC as youngsters 😅👌 Much love from Denmark.
Damn I miss Potti :) He stopped playing way too early imo. Would be amazing if he held on a little longer. Amazing player, easily my favorite player from 1.3 - 1.6
Wow, I saw the name Potti in my feed and instantly clicked on it. What a great surprise to see and hear one of the legends of the game. How is SpawN doing these days?
This interview should have taken place years ago. Thank god someone decided to do it now. Potti was never one of my favourite players but he was the patriarch of competitive cs. He is a legend of the game and i remember in my teenage life i was downloading his demos to see how he plays how does he take space how many times does he fire and then checked another angle. He is one of the first players to understand the game and he took it to another level.The competitive one. I hope we see more interviews for more legends of that time like SpawN Xeqtr Element Fisker Rambo Vilden Walle so the newcomers should know that the stars of today are standing in the shoulders of GIANTS and that CS is made this big because some of these myths played decades ago and made the game a worldwide sport.
Potti,HeatoN,Ksharp,Rambo,element,SpawN,KK,solo and many few were the original stars before f0rest,NeO,GeT_RiGhT,Edward,Markeloff,Whimp,Pasha,Frod,cohu and many more Literally the original clutch god and one of the few who was as Thorin stated in his videos.. a true one man army who can single handedly win games
Its wierd for me being old and remember this stuff. When i see "Fisker" on screen oh thats him and so on... My favourit player as a kid was dsn, watching him hold "arch" on inferno with an awp was exciting
Remember that matches :) Still love that era and the old swedish players! Give us cpl_mill back ! Still that many years ago i remember how i joined as spectator to live matches as HLTV Obs2
Great interview! However, elemeNt was a norwegian cs player even though he played alot with the swedes as they had a considerably bigger gaming community.
Remember it like it was yesterday. My childhood i was watching them play de_aztec/de_dust 🎉 amazing. Congratz // bds vesslan heaton element xeqtr Ksharp so many legends back in the days
damn i still remember x3 haha...the great thing about the 1.6 era was all the lan centers even in NA... feel like the local scenes are dead now... ni community servers.. no lans 😞
HeatoN..Potti..Fisker..SpawN..all these were the Originals. Not zywoo simple monesy donky and whoever else in the new scene. None of them would be able to take down the grandfathers of CS in their prime. Also, Potti was the founder of NiP which formed SK.
Not sure which part of the video you're referring to but Jonathan Wendel aka Fatal1ty was a well known quake 3 arena player who played pro CS for a brief period.

Top quality content. What a great player potti was and such a down to earth humble person... Well deserved HoF induction.
I was lucky to play against Potti when i was young :) 43 years old and cs is still in my heart.
The CS 🐐 of 2000-2005
Pott1 and ahl always exuded a calm confidence in and out of the server, a pleasure duelling with you guys. You were the benchmark for years

absolute goat, well deserved. A pioneer and alongside Heaton the progenitor of competitive counterstrike.
Damn I miss Potti :) He stopped playing way too early imo. Would be amazing if he held on a little longer. Amazing player, easily my favorite player from 1.3 - 1.6
Finally a HoF of CS!!! It will be a long list and I already know whos gonna be on it with Potti. Congratz!

When potti, Heaton were in the server... You knew it is gg
Its wierd for me being old and remember this stuff. When i see "Fisker" on screen oh thats him and so on... My favourit player as a kid was dsn, watching him hold "arch" on inferno with an awp was exciting

In Argentina we call "Potti" the position Heaven in Nuke from forever.
I remember him as a legend when I was 10, and he's still a legend to me at 30.
Potti was one of the first PROs i grew fond of, he was an amazing player
Great guy, played a few times against him and also with him. Well deserved!
Wish he had the fire to play some more years, was such a joy watching him play.
My favorite old school player,deserve!
41 years old here. Seen them i couple of times on tournaments :)
The first time a saw a video frag was a Potti one. I remember it has aztec in it and it was just insane
Nice memories
Great interview! However, elemeNt was a norwegian cs player even though he played alot with the swedes as they had a considerably bigger gaming community.

elemeNt was a bit of a prodigy back in the day, always wondered what he ended up doing
@ wonderchild
Vilden ! I was loving his awp, we see him in the video
eLement is no swede,he is from norway.Just a little sidenote
Potti looks younger than Moses
Actually valve owes you everything! I mean the first gen pro cs players,that most of the time were paying out of their pockets,so they can go and win
Yeah. the swedish CS scene was stacked back then. But still, Element is not Swedish. He's norweigan. Phenomenal player though.
LUq next
arguably best cs team . .
Potti
HeatoN
fisker
SpawN
ElemenT
