zet parts from coL, return to 1.6?

Early May a lot of rumours started to roam in various forums about the Swedish CS:S-player Marcus ”zet” Sundstrom returning to Sweden to play Counter-Strike 1.6. The rumours got put to the ground, as his CGS contract would expire 2009. Today many may cheer for a return as the Swede gets replaced in the complexity CS:S lineup.

To some Marcus "zet" Sundstrom might seem like a stranger, to others, one of the best ever. The Swede left Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2007, to play with compLexity in the CGS. A season with wins with the CS:S team, but loses with the compLexity CGS team may have lead to a disappointment. Reason for his departure is not his own, General Manager Jason "1" Lake was the one making the call.

"This was totally my decision, and a very difficult one to make,” said Lake. “I'll miss that crazy Swede dearly, but compLexity is about winning, and that's what I intend to do." – states Jason Lake



With the departure from complexity, CGS and CS:S, Marcus "zet" Sundstrom might return to the Counter-Strike 1.6 scene. Playing with Americans for over one year should open his chances of joining any team (in theory).

The Swedish 1.6 scene is kind of locked for now, as goes for the top teams. fnatic seems pretty secure with their lineup, with the latest addition Oskar "ins" Holm, who also left Ninjas in Pyjamas back in 2007. SK Gaming seem to have found the team to bring back the Counter-Strike trophy to the organization.

What’s left for Marcus "zet" Sundstrom to select or will one of the two giants make drastic changes to open a spot for this gifted player?

Stay tuned for updates for the coming changes Marcus "zet" Sundstrom should make.

Official compLexity state can be found at their homepage.

I wish thou zEh best of luck, my friend. It'll be a hard time for him to get back on track @ CS 1.6. I have a feeling that a lot of fans will be dissapointed with his return. But still I want to see more of Snajdan than Zet :>)

hahaha top 3 in the World?! Man you need to go easy on those pills! Zonic, fOrest, Neo are three top players in the World. Spawn used to be one of them, but long time ago. Remember first map against mYm at KODE 5, he played like a bot. You recognize great player by his behaviour and skill when his team is on a downhill. The hardest thing is to stay on top no to rech it.

But fact is jaegarn is a never has been, and thats what he always will be. He starts a project, talks about how good the lineup is and how far they will go... It lasts for 2 months, the glorious project is put on ice. Then he comes back with a new bunch of never has been... over and over and over again. Zet will most likly take a spot in SK.

well zet is not gonna replace Tentpole or Allen beacuse they are the most stabil players in Sk, and zet can't be an fucking elitpro1337 after a whole year with Source. He will probably join some semi-elit team too start with, then when his Elit skills comes back he could propably join some better teams. But i really dont think he will replace some players from Sk or fnatic. //Limelame

Im happy to see Zet back at 1.6 but i can honstly say that none of the best teams would take him in. It would be a big risk if he dosnt play as he used to do. So he will have to start something with old players or play with some semi elites to prove his place in an good team and it will probably take some time. If everything turns out great we will see him in an good team in mabye august or september. Take care zet and i hope the best for you /SPANJE!
