Adam "friberg" Friberg (born October 19, 1991) is a Swedish professional Counter-Strike 2 coach, a former Counter-Strike 2 commentator, and a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Counter-Strike: Source player. Following a legendary 5-year tenure with Ninjas in Pyjamas, he signed for OpTic Gaming as the in-game leader. 6 months later, the team disbanded, and friberg was left teamless for 3 months until he joined Heroic. After leaving Heroic in late August 2019, he reunited with his old NiP teammates Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, Richard "Xizt" Landström, and Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson in a new Dignitas lineup in January 2020.
