f0rest was a top 30 CS player for 12-15 years. Incredible longevity. Oh, and he had one of the highest levels of talent and peaks of skill ever witnessed.

f0rest has served as an inspiration not to one but many generations of Counter Strike players. People with such influence can be counted on one hand. Happy retirement

The true G.O.A.T. followed you from 1.6, my fofo, from days of adoring you to playing against you on the server to playing with you today as a friend, what a journey

A friend who will be with me until the end of time

A friend who became my best teammate

A friend I can always ask about the silliest thing, and he will guide me in the right direction

A friend who pushed me to the limit to become even better than I was that day.
