Counter-Strike legend GeT_RiGhT retires from competitive play

Christopher 'GeT_RiGhT' Alesund has stepped down from competitive Counter-Strike. The 30-year-old Swede announced via his Twitch channel that, while he has re-signed with Dignitas - the team he first moved to at the beginning of 2020 - it would be in a content creation capacity and not a competitive one.

Later in a tweet, GeT_RiGhT gives his thanks to all of his "ex teammates, TOs, organisations, partners, friends, fans, and so on." "I couldn't dream of a career I had if it wasn't for you," he says.

GeT_RiGhT has enjoyed a long and illustrious career in Counter-Strike esports, having been hailed as the second best CS player in the world by HLTV during the CS 1.6 era in 2010 and 2011, and the very best in the world at Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2013 and 2014. Following teasers on his social media channels, many were tipping the CS:GO icon to make the switch to Valorant esports. However, it looks like his competitive days are now over, regardless of the game.
