Aftonbladet Esport has, since we launched the site in September 2014, wanted to focus on uncovering what the biggest stars are like as people.

What motivates them, what drives them and how they work tediously to remain where they are, on top of the esports food chain?

Now we launch a new project aiming to give the fans of said athletes even more insight to the greatest name and having them tell the story how they ended up in a situation where they are adored by hundreds of thousands all over the world.

In the first episode of ”AFK with…” we meet Nathan ”NBK” Schmitt of Team EnvyUs. After a huge reshuffle on the French CS:GO scene during the summer of 2014, the then LDLC rose to the top of the CS:GO world.

In this extended talk with NBK we go through his journey to the highest echelon of one of the fastest growing esport games right now. We also talk about NBK:s upbringing, the tough matches VeryGames had to endure against Ninjas in Pyjamas and why LDLC decided to leave the organization and become Team EnvyUs.

We hope you’ll enjoy this premiere episode and feel free to give us feedback on Twitter or on our Facebook page.

Sincerely // The Aftonbladet Esport crew
