In the North American scene, Gretorp has focused on attending the MLG Pro Circuit events. Although he did not reach any significant placements in the 2010 season, he placed 21st in total points. Due to some players' unavailability, this was just enough to qualify Gretorp to be one of the top 16 seeds for the 2011 season debut in MLG Dallas. He went 0-4 in the group stages before being eliminated by HayprO.
Gretorp has since achieved some notability as one of the co-casters for the NASL along with iNcontroL for Season One. In Season 2 he has been casting with various co-casters including orb, TheGunRun, and LzGaMeR.
The 7th December 2011, it was announced that Gretorp joined It's Gosu eSports as the team coach[1].
