Mikail "Maikelele" Bill

Mikail Bill, better known as Maikelele, is a former professional Counter-Strike player from Sweden. His career spanned Counter-Strike 1.6 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) from 2008 to 2020.A

Maikelele started gaming at four years old. His first game? Bloodbath. A cousin in Quake pushed him toward esports. He chased the dream.A

He first made waves in CS 1.6 and played for teams like Begrip, iscu, and 3DMAX. But CS:GO is where he made his mark. He co-founded LGB Esports and helped shape the careers of stars like Olofmeister and Dennis. His talent landed him on NiP (Ninjas in Pyjamas) in 2014. They reached the DreamHack Winter Finals, but his time there was cut short. He left without knowing why.A

Undeterred, he built something new, Team Kinguin, one of CS:GO\'s first multinational "super teams." That squad evolved into G2 Esports and FaZe Clan. He played under both banners before bouncing between teams, always a force but never finding a true home.A

An aggressive AWPer, he thrived under pressure but struggled with shifting between AWP and rifle play. His leadership and loyalty sometimes hurt his career, but his skill kept him in demand.A

After retiring, he turned to content creation, sharing insights on CS:GO, its culture, and its mental toll. He champions mental health in esports and keeps the game alive for his fans.A

Now, he brings that same energy to Clash.gg Blog, a legend sharing his story, one post at a time.A
