Īs a part of Team Gamersleague, Snute improved dramatically, culminating with a Homestory Cup VI win at the end of 2012. While in University, he felt that dedication was necessary in order to do well professionally in the field of music technology and that it "cannot be half-assed." Feeling the same way about StarCraft II, he decided had to choose between the two and, in 2012, he chose StarCraft, becoming a full-time progamer. Snute joined Team Gamersleague in late 2010 while playing SC2 as a hobby and, in 2011, started studying Music Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim with the goal of becoming a "renown trance producer". Falling behind his younger peers and doubting his own ability, Snute was rejected from his preferred school and eventually lost his passion for the piano. But he felt that there "seem to be things that couldn't be understood or mastered" even with amazing teachers and hours and hours of practice. His whole family played some instrument or another and Snute was very dedicated in becoming a good piano player. Snute also aspired to become a professional pianist. He continued with DDR as a hobby and for workouts until he moved from Norway and no longer had access to the equipment. Able to perform 10 steps a second, he would go on to become the Norwegian champion of Dance Dance Revolution in 2004, and was featured in several Norwegian newspapers. He was bitten by the competitive (jitter-) bug again in 2002 when his older brother got a dance mat for the PlayStation and he developed a competitive mindset for dance games. However, they lost interest after a while and Snute quit playing Brood War after a couple of years. Competitive by nature, Snute and his classmates in elementary school would hold StarCraft: Brood War tournaments. Snute was born in Oppegård, Norway on July 28, 1990. 2.7 Signing with Team Liquid (Jan 2013 - Present).2.6 It all coming together (June 2012 - Dec 2012).2.5 Fighting confidence (June 2012 - Oct 2012).2.3 Local LANs, weekly cups and first international tournaments (June 2011 - December 2011).2.2 Towards his first major victory (Nov 2010 - June 2011).
