After a long and kind of illustrious career, our very own Ollie 'crazycat' Netherton has called an end to his playing days.

For years the UK scene has been considered one of the strongest in the world. Despite having numerous teams that couldn't last more than three months and plenty of sides who lasted even less it is a nation that is renowned for having some of the best players in the world. Over the years one such player has been Ollie 'crazycat' Netherton, a man who has today called time on his career. He started out many years ago as a little known player who had recently made the switch from 1.6 to CS:S, and at his first event achieved a startling 9-12th finish.

From there things just got better for the man known only as 'crazycat', he linked up with highly rated UK side r3 and attended a number of events with the team before moving on. Throughout his career he has represented the likes of 4kings, Zboard, Fragmasters Toxic, ebuyer, TLR and most recently Team Dignitas, also earning a spot as a taxi player for London Mint during the CGS. Throughout his career he has achieved a number of podium placings with those teams.

It will be a sad day for the rest of the UK scene as they lose a player who not only had the potential to be brilliant but had the heart and desire to achieve. We will miss you Ollie, so long, friend.
