Hey there, I’m Bwipo, also known as Gabriel "Bwipo" Rau — a professional League of Legends player, streamer, and all-around gaming enthusiast. With a deep passion for competitive gaming, I’ve spent my career playing in the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), and throughout my journey, I’ve gained recognition for my exceptional skills, unique playstyle, and ability to adapt to any situation.

From my early days in esports to becoming a top-tier professional, I’ve always been driven by the desire to improve and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether it’s in the jungle, top lane, or supporting my team with my versatile champion pool, my goal has always been to outplay, outsmart, and lead my team to victory.

Esports Journey: My esports career started back in 2017 with Fnatic, where I quickly made a name for myself as a rookie with incredible mechanics and a sharp mind for strategy. From day one, I’ve been striving to be the best, and it’s been a wild ride filled with countless highs, some lows, and a lot of learning along the way.

With Fnatic, I’ve had the honor of competing at the League of Legends World Championship, reaching the semifinals in 2018 and consistently achieving strong results in the LEC. Every tournament has been a new challenge, and every match has been an opportunity to show what I can do.

In 2021, I moved to Team Liquid in North America, bringing with me my competitive experience, determination, and a fresh perspective on how to approach the game. I’ve found great synergy with my teammates and continue to grow both as a player and as a leader within the team.

Achievements:

Top 4 Finish at Worlds 2018 with Fnatic
LEC Summer Split Champion 2018
Multiple LEC Playoff Appearances
Top-tier performances in domestic and international tournaments
Numerous MVP-level performances on champions like Riven, Renekton, and Sylas
But as much as I value my achievements, I believe that every loss is an opportunity for growth. It’s not just about the titles, but about learning from every step of the journey.

Playstyle: When it comes to gameplay, I’m all about making the most out of every opportunity. I like to play aggressively, taking calculated risks, but always with the larger picture in mind. Flexibility is key, whether I’m playing a carry champion in the top lane or focusing on the macro game, my ability to adapt to different styles has kept me at the top of my game.

But the true magic comes in how I interact with my team and read the flow of the game. The best plays come not just from raw mechanics, but from having a deep understanding of both the game and your teammates. I believe that synergy, communication, and mental fortitude are what separate the good from the great.

Outside of the Rift: While League of Legends has been my primary focus, I’m also passionate about other games and experiences. You can catch me on stream, trying out new games, diving into Valorant, Apex Legends, or just having fun in some co-op experiences with friends. When I’m not competing, you’ll find me sharing my gaming life with my awesome community, connecting with fans, and constantly evolving as both a player and content creator.

Stream Schedule: I’m always live on Twitch, where I share my adventures both in and outside of League. Whether it’s practice games, solo queue, or just having fun with my community, I make sure to keep things engaging and entertaining. Come by, say hi, and join the conversation!

Looking Forward: The journey doesn’t stop here. Esports continues to evolve, and I’m excited to be part of the ever-changing landscape of competitive gaming. Whether it’s at Worlds, LEC playoffs, or any new challenge that comes my way, I’m ready to take on whatever the future holds.

I hope you enjoy your time here on my profile. Feel free to add me, challenge me in a game, or just chat about esports!
