The lead-in to the story follows:

"Twenty year old Robin Johansson from the city of Grums has the job of his dreams - professional gamer.

He is also given the opportunity to let people in on just how much preparation, blood, sweat and tears he and his team puts into being good enough to compete at this level. The CS:S team practices five to six hours daily between Sunday and Thursday as they prepare for an event.
