Robin "flusha" Rönnquist, former rifler of FNATIC and current owner of EYEBALLERS, is the star of the 370th Episode of 'Reflections'. This episode is part two of two about flusha's career.
flusha is one of Counter-Strike's most decorated players. Breaking out in Epsilon in mid 2013, flusha would go on with the same core to join FNATIC and win Dreamhack Winter 2013, the game's first official major. FNATIC dipped in form after that but a move to bring in olof and KRiMZ from LGB saw the formation of one of CS:GO's best ever squads.
FNATIC were winning events and making deep runs almost immediately and despite the setback of the olofboost drama at Dreamhack Winter 2014, by 2015 few could deny FNATIC were the best team in the game. They would win back-to-back majors, with flusha taking home HLTV's MVP award for ESL One Cologne 2015.
Even when pronax left and flusha took over as in-game leader the winning didn't stop, as FNATIC won their first six events in a row before infamously being eliminated from the MLG Columbus major by Astralis.
The following years were lighter on trophies but in 2018 flusha and FNATIC bounced back and won IEM Katowice and WESG in the space of a few weeks, netting more than $1,000,000 in prize money. That proved a blip on the radar and as FNATIC's form dropped flusha exited the team to join an international Cloud9 line-up. Sadly that move proved beset by all kinds of issues and flusha would come back the following year and eventually rejoin FNATIC.
That last FNATIC LAN run is the stuff of legend, as the team won Dreamhack Masters Malmo and then placed at least top four at the next four LANs before the world went to online play only. During the online era flusha went on and made what became the GORILLAZ project but by the times LANs had returned and the line-up was ready flusha was no longer a part of it.
In recent years flusha and former team-mate JW took over the dormant EYEBALLERS brand and began a project aiming to bring Swedish CS back to the top again. flusha has since retired and now coaches the project he partially owns.
In part two, flusha talks about his unique skillset, whether he could have stayed in Cloud9, FNATIC's LAN run when he returned, playing with Brollan, the online era and the EYEBALLERS project of today.
This interview was recorded on the 9th of March, 2024.

I didn't expect Flusha to be so humble. He greatly downplays his accomplishments. Great interview.
love seeing the sun go down in Flusha's cam lol
Smiling the whole time while being called a nerd, what a stud. Great job Thorin, appreciate the interviews.
Simply one of the best players of all time, if not one of the smartest. Two goats
Flusha, olof and JW made cs so exciting in that late 2014-2015 era, great content as always. Been enjoying these chats with the older pros cheers Thorin keep it up mate 🙌
Yeah! Easily the most entertaining cs I’ve watched!
The Fnatic era was so damn good to watch, boostmeister, flusha insane lurks, krimz the rock, loved pronax and dennis the menace, and JW bhoping and pushing with the awp like a maniac. The rest of the teams were so good too, it's not the same anymore so I stopped watching/playing a while back
To think it's 10 years ago already. The great What If scenario I still think about is if olof never had his injury, he was still the best player in the world. Possibly no SK era - seeing as FNC's Dennis run was 6 tourny wins in a row leading up to that injury and the major - resulting in even more major titles for these legends.
Awesome to hear from such a veteran. Thanks.
This is where Flusha comes out as a cheater
lol i hate this community
Grow up.
I really like flusha to This day and really miss seeing him play, excited to see him sub in for eyeballers now that shine is out though.
So in conclusion flusha did cheat, he just had them installed through neuralink.
Best duo
If Astralis the team to master the CS Bible, Fnatic was the team to play without any restraint at all. Yes, it made them vulnerable at times with that risky play, peek when you shouldn't peek, Matchmaking-type buy, and offline/online antics.... that team was special in the history of counter-strike. They brought entertainment to us.
Remember, they could have possibly added one more major in their trophy chamber had they didn't forfeit the quarterfinals against LDLC on Dreamhack Winter.
would love to hear more from the old fnatic boys! :)
I tried googling a bit, but couldn't find that comic that was referenced. Can anyone please link it?
wish you asked about the rivalry between the french teams in '14/'15 but besides that great 2 part interview as always.
I think that is covered in the first reflections video with flusha, from 2017 or 2018
Cheers
I think it was a dreamhack LAN in 2015/16 where Fnatic finally beat NiP in a finals and began their era. Flusha, Krimz, Olaf, Pronax, and JW will always be in my core memories.
2013
did u think they were cheating?
@@Rayon811 I haven’t watched these episodes yet, but when I was 14 yes I thought he was cheating. Him playing as long as he did at the pro level convinces me he didn’t but bro definitely fell off after KQLY got banned (who definitely cheated on LANs)
Lol, it was way before. Their era began early 2015
@@SoniComi You need to re-check clips
Should have asked him if he bumped the keyboard after he left c9 😅
holy fuck flusha said lifted means he got kidnapped as a child, no mouse involved
thai green curry
So basically Brollan flop huh
You stole my thoughts. Get out of my head.
Washed player😂
i always see you talking shit on youtube on every cs post bruh, first it was "donk will fail at kato", your takes are actually so shit. get back to your 7k elo prem games lil fella x
we're not talking about your mom here mate.
get xyp9x to talk with you! that could be insane.
