Almost two years ago to the day, Team Liquid started a run of major tournament wins that propelled them into the spotlight as the best team in CS:GO.

NiKo began carving his trail in the Balkan Counter-Strike scene in 2010, playing in a series of tournaments held across Bosnia and Serbia.

In both tournaments, NiKo’s teams could not make it past the quarter-finals following blowout defeats to two different iterations of fnatic. With

blameF's ascent through the ranks was quite unlike the typical route you'd see a Danish player take to reach the top of the game. While others advanced by climbing the ladder of the sub-top scene in the country, where they encountered someone like Nicolai "⁠HUNDEN⁠" Petersen who helped them take the next step before making it to a team like North or Heroic, blameF didn't get the opportunity to play alongside some of the key names in Denmark until he had already made a name for himself in 2018.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is already one of the year's biggest hits, offering a whole world for its would-be pilots to explore in a year when travel has been otherwise restricted.

While The Shard and the O2 Arena in London were modeled and added manually,
