Widlund is an easy person to get along with, cracking jokes every now and then. Sebastian used to play Counter-Strike Source hunting for sharks, which in Swedish is hajen and his favourite snack for potato chips and together formed the nickname, Chipshajen.
Where it all began:
Ever since Sebastian was young he loved playing games with the aim of winning. He spent a couple of years playing soccer, which helped him think about game strategy, skill and team work. In his younger days, Sebastian would dream of becoming a professional gamer and so he would play PC games a lot just to be better than his friends and family.
The first video game Chipshajen played was Bloodline Champions with no intention of going pro.
