Toldersma
Thiadrik "Toldersma" Oldersma is a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Rainbow Six: Siege caster from The Netherlands.
Biography[edit]
After playing competitive FPS games such as the Halo and Call of Duty series on consoles, Toldersma switched to PC gaming in March 2012. He started playing League of Legends and got his first taste of esports. In July 2013 he switched to Counterstrike: Global Offensive. He competed with several competitive teams but had a car accident which resulted in a lasting shoulder injury. This severly limited his capabilities as a player.
Because of his injury, he decided to start coaching players while searching for a management position within a team. He became the Head CS:GO Manager of mCon esports in 2015.
Toldersma started casting in late 2015 at an mCon esports in-house Hearthstone tournament. A series of Hearthstone LAN events followed, before he made the switch to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Occasionally he still casts a Hearthstone tournament.
At The Party 14 Toldersma was approached by Jerre ‘Dynz’ van der Berg to cast CS:GO alongside him as his co-caster had called in sick. This was the start of Toldersma's Counter-Strike: Global Offensive casting career.[1]
In January 2018 he joined the ESL Media Network to cast Global ESL CS:GO tournaments and leagues in Dutch.
Trivia[edit]
- Toldersma is a proud descendant of the legendary Frisian warrior Grutte Pier[2].
- Toldersma is the first Dutch caster, with a regional focus, to go fulltime.
