Thor Bjorn Thorlei Aackerlund (born 4 January 1977) is a competitive video gamer considered one of the first to go professional. As a child, he started playing computer games while waiting for a new school year to begin after having missed one due to his mother being hospitalized after a fire. He couldn't afford a Nintendo Entertainment System, so he bought a Game Boy but didn't have the money for any extra games, which put him on the path of playing Tetris as it was included for free.

Thor Bjorn Thorlei Aackerlund (born 4 January 1977) is a competitive video gamer considered one of the first to go professional. As a child, he started playing computer games while waiting for a new school year to begin after having missed one due to his mother being hospitalized after a fire. He couldn't afford a Nintendo Entertainment System, so he bought a Game Boy but didn't have the money for any extra games, which put him on the path of playing Tetris as it was included for free. He was one of the winners of the 1990 Nintendo World Championships, for which he was bestowed a Mario trophy. Soon after the competition, Camerica, a producer of unlicensed Nintendo Entertainment System games, signed a deal with Aackerlund to make him the official spokesman for their games. Aackerlund then became the poster child for the game, featured in commercials and fairs. As a child, he felt pressured to play as the prize money and endorsements were financially important for his family. At the time, he was known as the only player to claim to have reached level 30 in Tetris. Aackerlund soon disappeared from the scene, but remained known as perhaps the most well-known name in Tetris. He is a featured player in the 2011 documentary film Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters, which covers his second effort in competitive video gaming at the 2010 Classic Tetris World Championship.
