Today Swedish player Robin "flusha" Rönnquist announced the end of his career. After 13 years, the player lost motivation in the game, and decided to leave. That means it's time to summarize flusha's career!
The birth of a legend
Robin played his first official match at the age of 17, back in the old version of CS 1.6. As a reminder, Robin is now 30 years old. At that time he played various online qualifications and other dash-3 tournaments.
In 2013, he often began to win dash-3 tournaments, but coming to a more professional level, his team was lost and ranked last.

In the same year Robin played as many as 4 qualifications for the major, but unfortunately he didn't make it to the main tournament of the year - ESL Major Series One - Summer 2013. At that moment he played under the Epsilon Esports tag, which would later cease to exist in 2020.
After playing for the team for less than 5 months, flusha leaves the roster and his career goes up dramatically!
The most important transfer for flusha
And finally on August 9, 2013 flusha joins the ranks of the Swedish organization Fnatic, it is with them the player will achieve the loudest victories!
Then the team played various qualifications and tournaments for 3 months, but could not take the first place anywhere, and the composition of the team at that time looked as follows:
It's time for the first major for the team - DreamHack Winter 2013, where the fnatic team lost only 2 maps for the tournament became the winners of the major! Amazing, right? The team couldn't win anything and then they came to the major and beat everyone.

Then the team won a lot of tournaments, but of course the most important victories are victories at majors. In total, flusha has as many as three of them:
- ESL Major Series One - Summer 2013
- ESL One: Katowice 2015
- ESL One: Cologne 2015
It's worth keeping in mind that all of those wins were with Team Fnatic!
Career development further or a million returns to home harbor
In 2016 the player moved to GODSENT, but as the team did not play in early 2017 Robin returned to Fnatic again. But the Swedes were no longer the same and for 2 years they managed to win only four tournaments:
- Intel Extreme Masters XII - World Championship
- World Electronic Sports Games 2017
- ESL Pro League Season 6 - Europe
- Esports Championship Series Season 4 - Europe
After that for five months flusha moved to Cloud9, but during all that time he didn't take more than fifth place in tournaments, the player fell in thought: "What to do next?". And the solution found itself - at that time Fnatic were in great need of a player and flusha was a perfect fit for them.
