Who says fairytale stories don’t exist in real life? Far up North in Jönköping, Sweden, they certainly do. Where five college students were set to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and League of Legends in the BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) segments of DreamHack: Winter, a completely non-serious signup for the Rainbow Six: Siege qualifiers saw them invited to the main event.
Safe to say, this is a level of participation the five -- who are not even regular, casual Siege players -- would never have expected. The teams they will be brushing shoulders with include world champions G2 Esports, Season 7 winners Team Liquid, as well as the newly promoted Team Empire. We sat down with one of their players, LimeFFS, better known on Reddit as EmilBerglund, and had a chat with them about their DreamHack: Winter appearance.
