In april 2009, Fifflaren come back with a new project called Japanese Bird Cooking composed of new swedish talents and a known Hellblinde. A surprising tag for a one month journey. At least, this announcement will serve Fifflaren, missing competitions for months, he is now back in driver seat.

It is one month later he makes his real comeback in a team where he found two of his former teammates, Erik "HaZ" Holm, Joacim "majk" Kroon and meets two players who will also become pillars in his career, the former 4Kings Christopher "Helblinde" Nilsson and former EYEBallers Daniel "giftig" Ivarsson.

It is a rising and ambitious structure called Vitriolic who will grant his trust to Fifflaren’s new team with first objective : The-eXperience 2009.

Vitriolic begins this competition in the best way possible by winning every single match, more or less difficult, to the winner bracket final. Two huge wins have to be noticed, one on Reason (pR, .PhP, UN, GuardiaN, bazy) and one on diamondZ (delonge, GEM, kononen, zaikovski, SAMITSKY). Even if the dynamic was interesting, the swedes will meet stronger than them : redLine Frenchmens (Ex6TenZ, crZ, akamatt, victorztw, Shokkk) on their way for fame. The French team inflict a correction to Fifflaren’s men who did not recover in time to bounce back against Dignitas (RattlesnK, KritikaL, Re1ease, Wez, wilzOOO) in the lower bracket final.

It remains a very good third position for players whose apogee seemed in their past. Even more considering that they will confirm it later, during the Slap Lan 19 where Vitriolic will successively win against Roccat(rytter, orga, inCre, frozt, rytme), Fnatic (Blaze, proph, xertion, kajsk1ng, AirRaid) and Impérial (v1ctor, gravityy, pur1ty, wantz, fetish) before losing against the Brits from Dignitas in the final. A performance that allowed the community to believe in the return of the Swedish scene in the European top.

And yet, it will be the last big achievement of a Swedish team on CS:Source.

In November 2009, the players and their organization split because of a drama. Fifflaren and his colleagues accused the manager, Roger Barradas, of not having stuck to his word, especially concerning the players’ salaries. On the other part, Barradas denied the existence of any contract of this kind and highlighted the fact that a CS:S team wasn’t profitable enough.

The five players tried to start over with Blight-Gaming but their motivation had faded. The team forfeited during the ESEA championship and even evoked a switch on CS:Promod in February 2010. Of course, it will remain anecdotal, since the game never really took off, but this announce clearly showed Flifflaren’s lack of objectives at this time.

Fiffy will then take a long break on CS:S, not participating in events such as the DSRack, the Copenhagen Games and the Lan79. Octobre 2010 was the month of  his return on the top of the scene. As an emblematic and respected players of the Swedish scene, Flifflaren surrounded himself, as usual, with players that he knew well, such as Ted “haunted” Svensson or Christoffer “Helblinde” Nilsson. This time, he trusted two promising players, Oscar “XperteN” Westling and some guy name Adam “friberg” Friberg with whom he will become such friends that he will become his roommate some time later.

If the meeting with Friberg is obviously important for his career, Fifflaren trades his first words with Niklas "Fiskoo" Fischie CEO of 30PGaming at that time and future CEO of Ninjas in Pyjamas. They will talk a lot and Fiskoo will offer them the opportunity to wear the shirts of the structure for the coming year and in one of the best competition to come, organised by Fiskoo : the 30Plan.

On home Turf , the 30PGaming are awaited. While all best europeans teams are there, besides VeryGames, the swedes have to honor their country. Nevertheless, it will be one of Fifflaren’s biggest failure since 30PGaming will finish on a top 7/8 beaten for the first time by eXelon finns (zaikovsky, JESU, SAMITSKY, F0rbes, zwhr) before being stomped by the french team LDLC (krL, bistouflyyy, tac, mK, HysokA), the last making a huge comeback in the lower bracket. We will notice the epic match against Blight Gaming rivals (CEM, maj0r, osvaR, rdl, Whindanski) in the 8th-finals lasting for hours.

According to Fiskoo, he couldn’t handle his company Heat Gaming and his CS:S team therefore firing his players. Those players will, and nowadays it’s quite funny, take the seats of the finns at eXelon. By the way, the norwegian Ole Christian "gem" Slaattene will take the place of Christoffer "Helblinde'' Nilsson. An almost fatal move for them since they will fail at the i43 finishing on a 9/12 top, eliminated by british mix.

Friberg leaves for fm!TOXIC in order to attempt to the ESWC 2011. The team will disband. Fifflaren will be inactive until Copenhagen Games 2012 making a comeback in a team called “Verandi-Gaming” created in the sole purpose of this event.  In spite of the best swedish players at that time, friberg, Hellblinde, giftig et ptk, they will not make it to the group stage. Far from their former glory.

Yet, Copenhagen Games 2012, will be an important step in Fifflaren’s career. He will meet and talk for the first time with Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, both 1.6 stars playing for SK Gaming. Those three players will be together for Valve’s new game : CS:Global Offensive.

At first, they will play under the tag ROCKSTAR, participating at the Go4CSGO then, the 10 august 2012, it happened : Ninjas in Pyjamas is back. Fiskoo and HeatoN recast the mythical organization which disappeared in 2007, and ask to five players from different horizon : Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund, Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg, Richard "Xizt" Landström, Adam "friberg" Friberg, led by the one who have been a leader all his career, Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson.”
