Sebastian Hans Eli Fors (born 16 December 1990), known by the pseudonym Forsen, is a Swedish Twitch streamer who is known for competing in Starcraft II and Hearthstone.[2] He is also known for his rowdy fanbase, who call themselves "Forsenboys" or "Forsen Bajs" and have had a hand in popularizing a number of controversial internet memes.[2][3][4] In January 2018, a warped image of Fors' face ("forsenE") became the most-used emote on Twitch worldwide.[5]

In Hearthstone, he won his first tournament in the May 2015 HTC Invitational,[6] and won a Play it Cool streaming marathon in October 2015.[7] Forsen was one of the top four Hearthstone streamers in 2015, streaming to up to 45,000 viewers on his live stream on Twitch.[8] He was once known as one of the game's most skilled Miracle Rogue experts.[2]

In February 2018, Forsen led his four-player team to victory in a $100,000 Twitch Rivals PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Invitational tournament, taking home $13,600.[9][10] The following month, he also participated in Darwin Project Invitational tournament, taking first place and winning US$20,000.[11] In December 2018, he achieved a personal all-time high viewer count of 80,860.[12]

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.[13] As of April 2021, Forsen has a personal best of 20:38, seven seconds faster than the 20:45 best time of xQc.[14]

On 26 November 2020, Forsen received an indefinite suspension from Twitch after he accidentally showed a GIF sent to him by a viewer displaying a sexually explicit interaction between a woman and a horse on stream.[15] He was unbanned after a month.[16]
