Pronax sends alarming tweets from hospital, updates fans

Markus “Pronax” Wallsten, the celebrated Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional, triggered widespread concern among his followers with a series of troubling social media posts on Sunday evening. The unexpected nature of these messages created immediate alarm throughout the esports community.

On August 23, the former champion tweeted urgently about requiring assistance, alleging that colleagues had fabricated falsehoods about him. This situation reportedly led to his confinement in a psychiatric facility, necessitating legal representation to secure his release.

Jag behöver hjälp i Malmö, mina egna kollegor har hittat på lögner om mig, och jag behöver advokat hjälp

In subsequent messages, Pronax indicated he had faced similar circumstances approximately one year prior. This previous incident allegedly occurred when his coworkers and relatives discovered his intention to submit a formal police report.

“I require immediate assistance at the psychiatric emergency department in Malmö,” another tweet stated. “If any compassionate individual can assist, I’ve informed people about my plan to visit law enforcement. My intention was to file the report on August 25 during my Stockholm visit. Their response involved attempts to compel my admission to the psychiatric unit,” the professional gamer posted.

Behöver advokat hjälp, precis samma sak hände för 1 år sedan, och detta händer enbart för att mina egna kollegor/familj vet att jag tänkte gå till polisen och göra en anmälan

Several of these social media updates were subsequently removed, leaving many questions unanswered about the precise nature of the emergency. Followers remained uncertain about what specific incidents Pronax intended to report to authorities either in 2019 or during his planned August 25 Stockholm visit.

Community members quickly offered reassurance regarding Swedish mental health legislation. Under Sweden’s Compulsory Care Act, involuntary hospitalization typically requires demonstrating suicidal tendencies or posing danger to others. Some observers noted that individuals experiencing mental health challenges may develop beliefs about conspiracies targeting them. The Global Offensive community engaged in extensive online discussions, analyzing whether Pronax was genuinely being maliciously institutionalized or potentially experiencing paranoid symptoms.

Pronax updates fans after concerning tweets

The following morning, Pronax reemerged on social media platforms, this time communicating in English. He characterized the previous night as “intensely stressful” and expressed gratitude toward loyal supporters who stood by him during the ordeal. He indicated he would share his complete account when circumstances permitted.

The Counter-Strike community responded with overwhelming support for the seasoned veteran, demonstrating the strong bonds within competitive gaming circles.

Throughout his distinguished esports career, Pronax achieved remarkable success, most notably captaining Fnatic to victory in three Major championships. In 2016, he departed from Fnatic to establish his own gaming organization, GODSENT, where he continued his role as strategic leader. The organization suspended operations during summer 2018. Subsequently, Pronax oversaw GODSENT’s Counter-Strike roster when they combined with The Final Tribe in September 2019.

In recent months, Pronax had maintained relatively low social media visibility, primarily sharing content related to GODSENT and its competitive players occasionally. This made his sudden pleas for assistance particularly alarming when they appeared in his followers’ feeds.

Update:

The co-founder of GODSENT issued an official statement with authorization from Pronax’s family following Sunday night’s crisis. Henrik Denebrandt confirmed that Pronax had been temporarily relieved of all organizational responsibilities to concentrate on his psychological wellbeing. Denebrandt clarified that Pronax retains his ownership stake but currently has no operational involvement with the company.

According to Denebrandt’s announcement, GODSENT is coordinating extensively with Pronax’s relatives to secure specialized professional care. The family has respectfully requested discretion during this challenging period.

1/2: Markus has temporarily been removed from all his duties in Godsent due to recent events in relation to his mental health. We do all we can to try to help him through a difficult time and we work relentlessly in close collaboration with his family to get him…????
