Forsen

Hans Eli Sebastian Fors (born 16 December 1990), known by the pseudonym Forsen, is a Swedish streamer. He initially gained popularity for participating in StarCraft II professional competitions, later competing in Hearthstone, and is known for streaming a variety of popular games on Twitch. He is also known for his rowdy fanbase, who call themselves "Forsen Boys" or "Forsen Bajs" and have had a hand in popularizing a number of Internet memes. Since December 2018, Forsen has had over one million followers on Twitch, and as of June 2024, he has more than 1.7 million followers.

In 2011, Forsen won first place in the E-Sport SM May Qualifier and was the runner-up in the E-Sport SM October Qualifier, earning a total of 3,500 Swedish krona ($382.50) and qualifying for the Swedish National Championships in StarCraft II. In 2012, Forsen garnered attention by advancing to the final group stage of the 2012 DreamHack Stockholm StarCraft II tournament.

Forsen won his first Hearthstone tournament in the May 2015 HTC Invitational, and won a Play it Cool streaming marathon in October 2015, achieving the highest rank among the competitors after 24 hours of play. In 2015, Forsen was one of the top four Hearthstone streamers, streaming to up to 45,000 viewers on his live stream on Twitch. He was known as one of the game's most skilled experts at the Miracle Rogue deck, having piloted it to achieve the highest rank in the game's ladder system on both the North American and European servers in June 2014. In 2017, after spending much of his Hearthstone career as a free agent, Forsen signed with American esports organization Cloud9 as a streamer.

As of January 2023, Forsen has been a livestreamer on Twitch for over a decade. His stream has been lauded as "genuinely... fun and entertaining" for its tightly knit community and inside jokes, as well as for Forsen's tendency to stream "Lidl" games, a term coined by Forsen to describe games of low production value.

In February 2018, Forsen captained his four-player team to first place in a $100,000 PUBG: Battlegrounds Invitational tournament hosted by Twitch Rivals, winning $13,600. The following month, he also participated in the Darwin Project Invitational tournament. In December 2018, he achieved a personal all-time high viewer count of 80,860.

In late 2020, Forsen began a friendly rivalry with fellow streamer xQc, the pair competing to achieve the fastest time in a speedrun of Minecraft. As of October 2023, Forsen has a personal best of 15:28, 70 seconds faster than xQc's best time.

On 26 November 2020, Forsen received an indefinite suspension from Twitch after he displayed a GIF sent to him by a viewer displaying a sexually explicit interaction between a woman and a horse on stream. He was unbanned after a month.

On 20 April 2023, Forsen was banned again from Twitch, with no reason or ban duration given. On 24 April, he revealed that the ban was due to watching a "dubious ASMR youtube video" on stream, and that it would last for one week.
