Sebastian Hans Eli Fors (born 16 December 1990), known as Forsen, is a Swedish Twitch streamer who is known for playing Starcraft II and Hearthstone.[2] He is also known for his fans, who call themselves "Forsenboys" or "Forsen Bajs" and have some involvement in making some internet memes popular.[2][3][4] In January 2018, a warped image of Fors' face ("forsenE") became the most-used emote on Twitch worldwide.[5]

In late 2020, Forsen began a challenge with fellow streamer xQc to see who can have the fastest Minecraft speedrun.[6][7] As of March 2023, Forsen has a personal best of 18:10.[8] In May 2023, xQc recorded a personal best of 16:38, 92 seconds faster than Forsen's best time of 18:10.[9]
