“It’s weird that he became a Counter-Strike player,” Dan Rose says of his best friend, Finn Andersen. It’s a funny thing to say about Andersen, who plays CS:GO for the German esports org mousesports under the alias “Karrigan.” Mousesports' CS:GO team happens to be one of the best in the world, and Karrigan is one of their star players.
But still, Rose maintains that he never envisioned his best friend becoming a serious esports pro when they were growing up together. “He wasn’t a classic, nerdy ‘computer kid’ in school,” Rose insists.
