Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon conducts AMA

This article was originally published on GameSpot's sister site onGamers.com, which was dedicated to esports coverage.

The esports veteran, and current Chief Gaming Officer of fnatic took to reddit earlier this afternoon to let anyone ask him anything. cArn delivered many responses reflecting on his current position in fnatic, what his dream line-up would be and his best memories from being a competitior in Counter Strike.

It actually surprises me a bit how many players that are today playing CS:GO, compared to a few months back. It's safe to say that the "marketing stunt" Valve did with Dreamhack really worked out and I'm eager to see how this develops.

I do anticipate that the games in eSports will change on a way greater basis than before, something I don't look forward to as we won't be able to create these epic rivalries we have seen in CS, WC3, SC and many other games.

MOBA games are definitely here to stay in this crazy world we call Tellus. I believe we have to thank people like Marvel/JRR Tolkien and many others for the what seems to be increasing need to find a virtual alter ego in the 21st century. This is something that smart people like Riot and Valve have been capitalizing on with success. I am personally a big fan of playing Dota 2, and watching League of Legends, and it is really exciting to see how big these games actually are today - it seems like everybody in a certain age groups either plays/watch them, or know someone that does.

In a few decades I believe that pretty much everyone on this planet will compete in video games, in one way or another. I also anticipate the need for physical arenas of eSports to decline when the global internet speed increases and we find out better way to bring the "live" experience to your home screen.

cArn, responding to reddit user Trombley7's question on what cArn's opinions on the current state of CS:GO as an esport, and where he thinks esports will head in the future.

Hey CashierHound. I have not taken any performance-enhancing drugs while playing video games, nor at any other point in life if you wonder(Viagra doesn't count huh? I have however played official games hangovered as hell...again class of 2007-2008 was epic...

On the same topic, I know for fact that there were Swedish top players back in the days that took these drugs. However, I have no reason do some name-dropping here cause honestly I just feel sorry for them.

cArn's response after being asked if he's ever used performance-enhancing drugs in his CS career by reddit frequentor CashierHound.

CS1.6 - cArn, dsn, GuX, f0rest and GeT_RiGhT - if emotions didn't exist we would have played several more years together, successfully.

CS:GO - Without specifying, I would put the best players from NiP and Fnatic in such Dreamteam. I know people out there want me to mix up nationalities by adding players like ScreaM, Dosia and f0rest to this "Dreamteam". Today's reality check for these of you is: IT WILL NEVER WORK.
