In a recent interview by CyberSport, Coldzera announces that Olofmeister is set to retire in the very near future. This is what Coldzera said in the interview:
“In the near future, we planned to make two replacements, the transition of Twistzz has already been announced. The next step will be to replace Olofmeister, who will end his career. He doesn’t want to play Counter-Strike anymore. We will announce the name of the fifth player in March or April.”

A look back at his career
Olofmeister is a legendary player in the CS:GO scene. He has won 2 Majors, and was with the most dominant version of Fnatic, back in 2013 & 2015. Unfortunately, in recent years, he hasn’t been as impactful in the scene, and hasn’t won a big event since BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen in 2019. In his CS:GO career, he has an approximate total of $880,519 in tournament earnings.
Here are some of his best results:
- 1st at ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017 – 13th October 2017 – $500,000
- First in ECS Season 4 Finals – 17th December 2017 – $250,000
- 1st in EPICENTER 2018 – 28th October 2018 – $150,000
Olofmeister to retire – Who will replace him?
In the interview, Coldzera also goes through the team’s plans moving forward with their new addition, Twistzz. With their new addition replacing Kjaerbye, the team should be more consistent moving forward. However now, the team is in desperate need of a proper In-Game leader. Before NiKo went to G2, he was tasked with the IGL role, seconded by Coldzera himself. Now there have been rumours in the past few months that former IGL for FaZe, and current IGL for Mousesports, Karrigan is set to return to the red and black. For now it’s only been rumours, but in March or April we’ll be getting a clear answer, according to Cold.
