Xerial
Discovering Quake 96/97, Xerial played on local LAN parties in Eskilstuna together with 
Ztorm and at that time recently transitioned RQ player Wretch. As an HPW he made brief appearances in some clans here and there and organized local LAN parties in Eskilstuna. Gaining access to an ISDN connection 98/99, Xerial joined Da Imperial Executors and was taken under the wings of more senior player Scarym, who trained him to play proper 2on2 on DM6 and to leverage those skills on other maps. In 2000, Xerial participated in a small 16 man LAN named dunnolan arranged by Malo in Uppsala, where he teamed up with Nikita, Angua and Javve under the Spartacus flag. Although no official tournament was held, they had success against Swedish Chefs, Clan Dunno and began playing together online.
He was one of the first to broadcast games as commentator in the early to mid 2000s together with players like 
Paradoks, 
HangTime, Sassa and Gaz.
Introduced Quakeworld and FPS games to his younger cousin, who grew up to become CS:GO pro Maikelele.
He was a member of the fake nicker clan - Clan Iran - under the pseudonym mehmet, together with players such as Javve, Vortex, Sassa and Killis
