Anders Blume

He has worked for a wide variety of tournament organisers including Electronic Sports League (ESL), Dreamhack and Gfinity.

To date, Anders has been part of the commentary team for the grand finals at 10 out of the 17 Valve sponsored majors.

In July 2014, Anders officially left NiPTV to build his own brand, RoomOnFire, alongside Semmler.

[6] Blume has been referred to as the voice of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive[5] due to his overwhelming presence as a commentator for the game.

Blume has become a figure of interest partially due to his energetic style of casting, in addition to his deliverance of the phrase "Are you kidding me!".

Anders picked up the nickname of "The General" after the ESL One Katowice 2015 major due to the large collection of CS:GO related pins he had attached to the blazer he was wearing at the event.

[24] At the beginning of his career, Blume was the target of criticism from people "for not living up to the high standards set by Counter-Strike stalwarts Joe Miller and Paul Chaloner".

[26] He attended the University of Copenhagen to study physics before transferring to biology and then finally English; he eventually dropped out.

His interest in gaming developed at a young age, attending late-night Internet cafes with his friends to play Counter-Strike as a 13-year old.
