.kr4tos is a German Medic (and occasional Demoman) player who currently plays 6v6 on Danger Dogs and played highlander with LANpander. Starting out in season 6, he made his way up to the higher divisions, reaching div 1 after 4 years of playing. He played for a few teams after that. Fenneks, Team Colonslash, CPLAY and eventually Danger Dogs.

His LAN attendance is always notable by the awkward angle the Danger Dogs carry player uses to pose for pictures.

During i52 he played with Team Colonslash, an up and coming team in ETF2L. At his first LAN attendance the team was able to make it to a 7th place finish.

At i55 he was playing for Danger Dogs and were seeded into the invite group with Reason Gaming, Ascent, Froyotech, NerdRage and The Last Resort. Sadly, due to technical reasons his team ended up losing all of the invite matches before going to the knockout stages.

He would end up finishing 7th again, when dogs faced Reason in the 4th round.

Highlander

Tarek's experience in Highlander is limited compared to other well-rounded players. Early on, he played a few matches with community teams, but other than that it came down to roster riding for the rest of the seasons.

Just before DeutschLAN, the "King of Highlander" Hildreth was looking for medics. Since .kr4tos lived close to the event it was decided he would be a main choice. The team he joined, LANpander had little difficulties in the group stage with Tarek guiding the team. He was doing this whilst still having time for posing for pictures with his fans in between games. Without noticing he created a new metagame, where he would distract opponents by jumping in the cp_steel E pit, or standing in sniper sight lines ten seconds till the round end. With these tactics he confused the other LAN attending teams and his performance went unnoticed until the finals.

By pure incompetence by his engineer, the team crumbled in the semi-finals and kr4tos' first top 3 LAN finishes was a reality.

Trivia

During an official he once asked if the spawn was big enough for 9 people
