Emil Christensen




Emil Christensen (born 1985 in Stockholm ), known as '''HeatoN''', is a Swedish professional Counter-Strike player, currently playing as captain of the gaming team Ninjas In Pyjamas (NiP). He is widely regarded as one the best Counter-Strike players in the world and is well known for his mastery of the "spray technique", which involves controlling the recoil of the gun by precise mouse movements rather than allowing the recoil to settle.

The name HeatoN comes from a brand of equipment he used when he played Ice Hockey .


CAREER

Christensen was part of the original Ninjas in Pyjamas team of 2001 which won the Cyberathlete Professional League World Championship that year. He and the other members of Ninjas in Pyjamas went on to become the foundation to the highly successful SK Sweden , one of the most successful teams in Electronic Sports history. At the beginning of 2005 he and the rest of SK Sweden chose not to renew their contracts with SK Gaming and re-formed NiP.

Since then some of the NiP players moved back to SK Gaming but Christensen and others have stayed on at Ninjas in Pyjamas. He is currently the captain of NiP who are now competing at professional LAN tournaments again.
