Jonas 'whiMp' Svendsen retires from competitive gaming
Danish Counter-Strike legend Jonas 'whiMp' Svendsen has given an interview
to fnatic regarding his retirement from competitive gaming. The man who
was once known as the boy wonder of Danish CS discusses how he came to
his decision to retire, his memories of his time in gaming and the new
mTw.dk lineup.Asked which moment in gaming he will never forget whiMp answers:
| "I will never forget any of the major tournament winnings nor my trips around the world. The two moments that most likely will be in my memory for life, is the time when we won WEM and got escorted over to a shopping mall where a lot of Chinese fans were waiting for us to sign autographs – we felt like superstars. The second is my first major victory together with The-Titans back in 2004 at ESWC. I remember when EraZ and I were about to win the last round, when I realized that we would be the winners of ESWC, my eyes started growing dark and I went through one of the greatest emotional rides of my life." |
On whether or not mJe and guddo leaving affected his decision:
| "It would have ended my career anyway, however, I must admit that I'm a bit happy, that they have left as well, because I believe that you can call it the end of an era, and I don't think that I would have the same effect alone." |
Despite having only played for Denmark's best teams for under four years in total whiMp leaves with one of the most impressive resumes in CS history, including an ESWC title, a WCG gold medal, a WCG silver medal and a slew of other first and second places. He will also be rememered for his impressive versatility, seeming to have no weaknesses in his game, and being able to help his teams win in so many ways.
