The Danish pro, who was picked up by the Atlanta Reign during the offseason, helped the Reign dominate Florida Mayhem in a 4-0 series with plenty of fans in the arena chanting his name throughout the game as he made play after play for his squad.
As he was making his Overwatch League debut, the Dane was the one to lead his team into the arena pre-game and then he took up the post-game interview duties after the Reign picked up the victory. While his in-game performance was pretty good, it was in the interview where he really shined.
