The truth about r0y - Introduction

In an exclusive and lenghty interview, TEK9 had the chance to interview a fascinating personality: namely Roy Gerritsen. This 23-year-old Dutch Counter-Strike player is someone who puts his heart and soul into e-sports and strives to reach for the moon and stars. He is indisputably one of the best CS-players The Netherlands has to offer and supports his team through thick and thin.

A man with his hand on his heart gives us an exceptional insight into his troublesome youth, the start of his career and the future that lies in front of him. Without further ado, we present you the man behind the gamer in four phases: A dekko at Roy, The first steps in the World of CS, A change of environment and The combined forces. Enjoy!
