Adam "friberg" Friberg, former long-time entry player of Ninjas in Pyjamas and currently teamless, is the star of the 372nd Episode of 'Reflections'. This episode is part one of two about friberg's career.

friberg got his start in Source but it would be CS:GO where he would become a household name. As part of the incredibly dominant NiP squad which both went 87-0 to start and continuined to win the majority of tournaments for the first two years, friberg was no mere passenger and was often cited as the best entry fragger in the world. Indeed, he would win MVP from HLTV for the team's ESL One Cologne 2014 win.

NiP famously struggled to win trophies in 2015 and friberg's numbers were by now at mortal levels. Still, NiP had some magic left and would surprise with one off tournament wins like at Dreamhack Masters Malmo 2016, StarSeries S2 and IEM Oakland. friberg was later removed and would play in teams like OpTic and Heroic. After some time as a journeyman, friberg reunited with his former NiP team-mates in Dignitas for one last run in 2020, sadly limited by world circumstances forcing play to the online domain.

In part one, friberg discusses his early days in CS:GO and what he might have done if he had not joined NiP, the team's decisions surrounding their IGL, almost winning a major with Maikelele and why FNATIC players didn't mix with NiP players.

This interview was recorded on the 18th of March, 2024.
