Braxton “swag” Pierce was once one of North American CounterStrike’s fastestrising stars. Now, he’s on the sidelines.

But before he was permanently banned from Valve events, swag was considered by some to be the next great NA player, and there were plenty of indications that it might happen.

Born in North Carolina in 1995, swag was seven years old when he played CounterStrike for the first time. Initially trying the game at his cousin’s house, his obsession with the game was not immediate. Like so many players though, he was eventually sucked in by CS 1.6.
