Disguised co-founder Fifflaren departs organisation

Disguised co-founder and former Counter-Strike esports player Robin ‘Fifflaren‘ Johansson has announced his departure from the organisation.

“Truly grateful for the opportunity, the community, the players and staff who turned DSG into what it is today. A true David vs Goliath story.”

After leaving Disgused, Johansson reveals that he is open to new opportunities within the esports industry.
