Aleksi ‘allu’ Jalli is a 25-year-old cyber athlete hailing from Helsinki, Finland. He takes on the responsibility as a lurker competing in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for his present team, Optic Gaming. When the need arises allu can also handle the secondary awper for he is most famous for his awp.
In his free time, he likes to relax playing billiard with his friends. To refresh his mind from daily routine Aleksi likes to go on hiking trips, in fact, this helps him to think of fresh new ideas how to play Counter-Strike.
Where it all began:
Jalli began to develop a passion for gaming thanks to his school friends who would mention video games in class. He would watch esports tournaments and dream that one day he too could be as good as the pro players on TV.
The very first video game Aleksi practised seriously was Counter-Strike 1.6 in 2009 with munikka and from that moment, he never stopped playing. Having a strong competitive background, Jalli made the smooth transition to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The Team:
Optic Gaming is an American esports association that was formed in 2006 by five Call of Duty players, who wanted to pursue a professional career. Eventually, their gaming organisation grew to support units in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Halo, Gears of War, Dota 2, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and League of Legends.
Optic created their CSGO squad in 2016, signing up the former Conquest players, Shahzam, daps, RUSH, NAF and Stanislaw. Since then the lineup has changed for the good of the unit that currently consists of mixwell, Friberg as captain, allu, Magisk and HS.
