Olof Kajbjer Gustafsson, (born January 31, 1992) better known by his in-game name olofmeister or olofm, is a Swedish professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player who currently plays a rifler and secondary AWPer for fnatic. He has previously played for H2k,Absolute Legends, and LGB eSports. Olofmeister is widely regarded as one of the best CS:GO players in the world. He has won two CSGO Majors, ESL One Katowice 2015 and ESL One Cologne 2015, as well as many other tournaments.

Olof grew up in Tyresö. He has a brother, Karl, and a sister, Hanna. He developed an interest in playing football at the young age of four and remained active in the sport until he sustained a knee injury at the age of fifteen. The injury eventually became a catalyst for his transition from playing Counter-Strike casually, into taking it more seriously.

Olof has done many advertisements, inciting a Swedish yogurt brand and fnatic pro gear. This has lead to him having many different nick-names, these include 'yogurt-meister', 'tec-9-meister' and 'boost-meister', this originating from the infamous 'boost' on the Counter-Strike Global Offensive map de_overpass against team LDLC at Dreamhack Winter Open 2014.

Olofmeister quietly began his Counter-Strike: Global Offensive career in Absolute Legends and H2k without garnering much attention. It was not until teaming up with LGB eSports that he began to rise to prominence.

Kajbjer joined -based fnatic in June. There, he found immediate success, helping his team to a second-place finish at the ESL One Cologne 2014 Major Championship. During one of the games in this tournament against Team Dignitas, on the map de_overpass, he gained widespread attention after winning the 29th round, with some graffiti being added to the map to commemorate this. In the months following, Fnatic saw tremendous success, and were favorites going into DreamHack Winter 2014, the following Major Championship. After advancing from a second-place finish in their group, Fnatic were seeded against rivals Team LDLC in the quarter-final. There, Olofmeister was a part of a large controversy when he was boosted by his teammates into an, unbeknownst to him, illegal position which helped his team to a win.Fnatic later forfeited the game and withdrew from the tournament. Following the event, he considered leaving Fnatic and the game all together, but wound up staying after a successful run at the ESEA Invite Season 17 Global Finals. His achievements on the map de_overpass during this year has led to many people in the CS:GO community referring to the map as "Olofpass".
