About GeT RiGhT

Born 1990. GeT RiGhT is a Swedish professional gamer.

Christopher Carl Albin Alesund (born 29 May 1990), better known by his in-game name GeT_RiGhT, is a retired Swedish professional Counter-Strike player widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the series. He began playing competitively in 2007 and is best known for his long tenure with Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP), with whom he was part of the lineup that achieved an unprecedented 87–0 LAN map winning streak in 2012–13 and won the ESL One Cologne 2014 Major. HLTV ranked him the best player in the world in both 2013 and 2014. He is credited with popularizing the lurker role in competitive play and was inducted into the HLTV Hall of Fame in 2025. Fnatic's 2009 had been the most successful for the organisation at the time. Alesund was then named e-Sports Player of the Year and Counter-Strike Player of the Year. In 2010, Fnatic weren't as successful, but continued to perform well, getting 2nd at the IEM IV European Championships, and IEM IV at the start of the year. After a very successful individual year, Alesund placed 2nd on HLTV's top 20 of 2010. After a few minor results, SK won DreamHack Summer 2011, with Alesund being selected as the MVP. SK continued to have some success, winning IEM6 6C New York and a Counter-Strike Major, ESWC 2011. Once again, Alesund was placed #2 on HLTV's top 20, this time for 2011.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Ninjas in Pyjamas and the 87–0 streak (2012–2014) In July 2012, in anticipation of switching Counter-Strike versions to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Alesund left SK Gaming and joined Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP). He formed a roster alongside Richard "Xizt" Landström, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Adam "friberg" Friberg, and Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson. This lineup achieved an unprecedented 87–0 LAN map winning streak from August 2012 to April 2013, during which they did not drop a single map across ten tournaments. NiP and Alesund finished tied for 5th–8th at ESWC 2015. The next month, NiP finished 5th at ESL One Cologne 2015.

In 2016, Alesund overhauled his playstyle on the Terrorist side to adopt a much more aggressive role, which proved instrumental in NiP's resurgence. NiP won DreamHack Masters Malmö in April 2016, defeating Natus Vincere 2–0 in the grand final. He was ranked 18th on HLTV's Top 20 players list for 2016, marking his sixth consecutive appearance in the rankings.

Departure from NiP (2019) In 2019, Alesund was reportedly set to be replaced after the StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019. Alesund officially stepped down from the roster in late September.

Dignitas and retirement (2020–2021) On 21 January 2020, Alesund reunited with his former NiP teammates (f0rest, Xizt, Friberg and Fifflaren) in Dignitas. After a series of lackluster performances, Alesund was benched by Dignitas in September, with the organisation promising to assist with transitioning to the next phase of his career. In January 2021, Alesund announced that he was stepping away from professional competition and would become a content creator for Dignitas. He briefly returned to competitive play in September 2022, joining former NiP teammates f0rest and friberg in a team under the name d00m for a Regional Major Ranking qualifier.

Playing style and legacy Alesund is widely considered to be one of the greatest Counter-Strike players in both versions of the game. His tactical approach emphasized passive positioning in obscure locations, gathering information for his team, and catching rotating defenders unaware.

In 2025, Alesund was inducted into the inaugural class of the HLTV Hall of Fame alongside fellow Swedish legends f0rest, HeatoN, and Potti, with the induction ceremony taking place on 11 January 2025 in Belgrade, Serbia. Fnatic 16–13 (Bo1) MeetYourMakers $50,000.00
