Couldn't close it out in the end because I ran out of strategies and I wasn't able to play my best in the end.
Still, played one hell of a tournament and happy about my best result of my 10 years+ esports career 👍
Thanks to the support of my team as well

Sad to say, I lost in the playoffs again. Can't be too sad about the games since I had some good moments. It's the 1st time I played against Maru & I have to say he's probably the best player I have ever played against. Still, Top 12 is a great result and I am very happy about it
First win on the board! Gave it all after going down 0-2, managed to get 3 wins in a row and now I am in the Winners Match. It isn't going to be easier but I have two chances from now on
#WCS
Also, Big Gabe isn't just a meme, it's reality
TOP 8! I won 3-1 in the Ro12 of IEM Katowice and will play for a top 4 slot later today. Was shaking at some point on stream definitely a new experience, especially after a long offline break
#VAMOUZ
What a series. Worked hard for a 3-2 victory. Therefore, I not only advance to the Ro8 but I also qualify for my second Blizzcon, I still cannot believe it, I never thought of getting to the Global Finals twice. Extremely happy about it and excited to play against Serral tomorrow
Lost in the Deciders Match as well, not too upset with my result as I was the complete underdog. First big offline win vs a Korean Protoss this year shows some more progress in my play, maybe next time I can win twice
Unfortunately, I lost in my second qualifying match. I am not too upset because ShoWTimE deserves it. However, I am upset with how I lost the games since I feel like I was playing very well and still just disrupted.
Today I won my 5th ESL Pro Tour Open Cup. My results in these cups have been outstanding, very happy about it and I hope to keep it up against the strong competition in Europe.
@ESLSC2
, Any chance you are going to rename the ESL Cup to 'Big Gabe Cup'?
Precisely 10 years ago I joined
@mousesports
as my first team.
It's been a joy all along & excited to represent them in the next decade as well, things are just getting started 🔥
#VAMOUZ
I just played a really good series in the qualifying match of
#DHMasters
but I lost 1-3 to Serral again. Felt like I made all the right choices and the reason I lost was because my opponent simply played better and faster. I am extremely happy with another Top 6 finish though 💪
Lost to Serral once again. I think it's pretty impossible to beat a Zerg at this caliber as I already assumed. Well done by him and gl to him in the next round. I am not disappointed at all since I still qualified for the Global Finals and this tournament was a great success too
Managed to win the first ESL Open Cup in a very exciting final vs ShoWTimE. I haven't played online events for a while but the first ESL Pro Tour Cup delivered in a big fashion. Happy to play & stream the next ESL Open Cups as well!
Things I didn't miss when flying:
-People stealing your armrest when you are sitting in the middle
-People applauding when the plane lands
-Not letting the rows ahead of you out first
Anything else?
I won my 15th ESL Open Cup out of 33 total today. My play seems to be really sharp against Top EU players again in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully I can carry that momentum into the upcoming Dreamhack Season this week!
Managed to reach a new MMR peak💪, even though this is just a peak, I definitely deserved it after a crazy win record but at the same time this is probably the most fortunate 7,3k 😀
Accidentally made it out of my ASUS ROG group, really wasn't expecting it as I wasn't as well prepared like in Dreamhack. Looking forward to another playoffs run attempt on Sunday!
I lost 1-3 in the
#WCS
semi finals. Quite a few sloppy mistakes after game 1 by me. That wasn't the level I usually play on but it happens a lot in competitive play. Still great performance overall and I am overwhelmed by the support I received.
Two in a row! I was able to win the second ESL Pro Tour Open Cup with some solid play throughout the entire tournament. If this continues I might end up qualifying for the Global Finals by playing in Open Cups😂
This is the best news in
@esportstarcraft
for years. Not only will StarCraft eSports back but also bigger and under a refreshing new branding.
The fact that we will have events for the next 3 years is huge for any players/teams.
I won my first series in TSL 3-1 against Reynor. Super satisfied with my play and motivated to go even further in the tournament next week. Hopefully I can keep it up!
Finally managed to win another ESL Pro Tour Cup after a while! Happy to maintain the Big Gabe Weekly and also satisfied about my victory in yesterday's TSL Qualifier 😇
Managed to win the 10th Big Gabe Weekly Cup as well! If I can keep up this performance I might qualify for the Big Gabe Pro Tour Global Finals through BG Weekly Cups 😎
What a day... I didn't play my best Starcraft but I advanced to the Ro16 of
#WCS
Montreal. And with that I've also secured my Blizzcon spot! I have never been this relieved in my career before, absolutely amazing feeling.
Lost 1-3 in the quarterfinals of the
#DH
Season Finals. There was definitely some potential but Trap played strategically better - GGs to him. Strong performance from me this season after a rough start, looking forward to the next one 👍
Wasn't able to play my best today at all & got outplayed, thought I had a very good chance to get into the finals but happy with another Top 3 finish either way👍
#DHSC2
#ESLProTour
Great 2-0 start in matches, couldn‘t be happier with my play😄. Still, I will have to continue playing my best tomorrow, still hard to advance in such a group
#IEM
Unluckily, I lost in the semifinals of
#DHMasters
but I had to prepare mostly for Terran and Protoss this tournament. Hence, I can't be too upset about losing against a top Zerg 😀
Shoutout to
@DreamHackSC2
for letting me stream my matches, was a pleasure broadcasting my PoV 👊
I claimed my 10th ESL Open Cup title today, really happy about my performance in these Cups, hopefully I can manage to maintain my level in future Cups 😅
#TerranPatch
Didn't make it past the Top 4 again. This time my chances were very good but deserved loss in the end.
Glad to be still qualified for the season finals, regardless of my rough play today
#ReadyWillingAble
Since IEM is closed this weekend but I am still in Katowice for one day, are there any folks that know about places to still watch the SC2 games and hang out? Specifically looking to meet as many SC2 fans as possible in one location, if you are in Katowice, you can write me a DM
I finished the WCS Europe Ro8 with a 5-2 score in series and in second place. I had a good run beating the two best players in Europe (Serral and Reynor) 2-0 but I also had some rough games as well. Happy to participate in the offline finals as Top 3 player in two weeks!
#WCS
Already flying back home to Cologne today but I will come back to
#IEMKatowice
to enjoy the tournament as a live spectator on Friday. Looking forward to seeing the guys play out the biggest event of the year this weekend🔥
Pour le showmatch de demain, on aura le maître Terran

First Big Gabe Invitational is done. It was a full success, thanks for all the players. Awesome Event, looking forward towards the next event. Special thx to
@RotterdaM08
and
@dokw0n
Made it in first place in my
#DHMasters
group after going 7-0 (14-2)! This week my level of play has been at its peak again, hopefully I can keep it up in the playoffs next week💪
#ReadyWillingAble
Top 3 in Dreamhack! Felt the pressure in the first two games, could have gone much worse and nearly cost me the games + potentially the series. Fighting for the Finals and Championship tomorrow & on Sunday!
#DHSC2
#ESLProTour
Managed to get out in my
#WCS
group in first place. That means my Blizzcon chances keep growing, hoping to make a good run tomorrow to make it into the Global Finals comfortably. Very excited about it!
Despite playing some nice games, I am out of
#IEMKatowice2019
. I had probably one the hardest lower bracket you could get with 2 Top Korean Protosses. However, this wasn't a failure as I am still proud of my performance! Nonetheless, will have a great time watching the event live
Doesn't look like I can make it out of my HSC. Not practising at all because of my sickness last week is reflected in my gameplay. My opponents were stronger and prepared better. Of course still confident in my abilities, will get back to work next week when I feel healthy again
I am happy to announce that I will be running my own offline tournament in Cologne on March 2nd. 2,500$ prize pool, anyone can play & come watch. Tickets can be found here:
@xperion_germany
I lost to Serral again in the
#WCS
semi finals. I was too stubborn to adjust my playstyle. However, I know how to win next time and will adjust accordingly.
In the end, I am still happy with a 3rd place. Good start to the year
I made it out of the Ro32 of a stacked ASUS ROG tournament. Extremely happy about my TvT, being able to beat an excellent player like Taeja twice feels great. Also, it looks like I am going to Korea for a week. Thanks to everybody who voted for me, I will be practising hard
I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT! After countless Challenger losses in the past, I was eventually able to qualify for a WCS event via Challenger League today. I guess I'll be fully focusing on WCS this year ;)
Sad games today, I always play super scared when I am unfamiliar with my opponents or they are just better than me. Need to focus on my confidence ingame instead and then I am sure the next tournament can go better 🙂
Felt the pressure on stage but I managed to play well again on the B-Stream. 3-1, last match tomorrow but Playoffs are safe, lets go😄🔥

@mousesports
Today is the day I started my Youtube career. My first video is an exclusive PoV from my TSL match yesterday. Please leave a follow/sub on my channel as more videos are going to be uploaded daily!
Even if I was able to close out game 2 after getting very far ahead, I don't think it would have made a big difference. In this Bo5 you can clearly tell the skill difference between me & Maru. Will have to grind more in order to close the gap.
We made it out of the group for the second time in a row! A little bit sad I couldn't close it out and get the first place, but at the same time a lot of things went in my favor today, therefore I am really happy
@mousesports
#VAMOUZ
#IEMKatowice
I won 3-0 in the
#WCS
quarter finals again. This time however, it wasn't easy at all but I beat a really strong opponent. If I can bring the same gameplay in the semi finals I think I could go even further. Next game in 3-4hours
First time making it into the Top 6 through the winners bracket! Lets see if I can furher than my usual gatekeeper position on Friday
#ReadyWillingAble
Today I was able to play my best. However, small mistakes, like sending down 2 SCVs to finish the CC but my Depot blocked them, cost me the series. Very happy about my games and I think it was one of the better matches in the tournament so far. gg, looking forward to next time 👍
Got my first convincing 3-1 victory in the playoffs. Very happy to show my ESL Open Cup form and getting a Top 6 finish at least. Also, great motivation to try to upset in my match tomorrow even though it will be quite the task
Managed to qualify for WCS Montreal! It's been a while since I qualified for an event directly, feels great and I am satisfied with my gameplay atm as well. Next match vs Serral, hopefully I can at least put up a fight
Lost in the semifinals again, felt like I had some great opportunities but I couldn't capatalize on them due to lack of preparation and my opponent just being better than me.
I am sure I can do even better next tournament, super happy with another Top 4 finish nonetheless!
I have been secrectly using the new Razer Viper 8k for a month already. It's the same configuration as my mouse before but with an advanced 8k sensor. Perfect fit for a quick mouse change before IEM Katowice

Looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow👊
Made it to the Top 6 again after a strong 3-1 victory, feeling really good about TvP at the moment but now it's time to prepare for the other matchups until Friday, aiming for a Top 3 or higher finish now 💪

#ESLProTour
It wasn't easy and I dropped a lot of maps but I finished my

group in 1st place, 7-0 in matches. Feeling good about the playoffs even though it's going to be very difficult
The TvT Gods were on my side today as I got a fortunate win in the Ro6 of the

My play has been improving again this tournament, I am really happy about this performance hopefully I can still make it into the finals!
Had a great time taking some time off streaming & practising this weekend. Also happy to see
@SC2ByuN
win again! Recent Terran plays have been very inspiring
I did it! After a long and close game vs Snute + a rather convincing 2-0 Kelazhur I advance to the main tournament of
#IEM
Katowice. Very excited and motivated to play this week ;)
Barely lost in the qualifying match 1-2 to Patience. Last map looked really convincing for me but one unnecessary decision lost me the game. Feels really devestating when you lose that way but I will try my best from the lower bracket
#IEMKatowice2020
Moreover, this might have been one of my last tournaments as a full-time player. Not much will change but most likely I will be playing part-time in the next seasons to shift a little focus towards education
Not too surprised to lose in the quarters again. Feels like my TvZ is getting way worse the last couple months. I guess all those Protosses on the Ladder made forget how to play against Zerg 😅
Still got second place in my group! Very rough games but nothing to be upset about because I am convinced I can bring it back and play much better during the playoffs! However, I am already happy with a Top 12 finish so far!
Lost 2-3 in the
#DHMasters
Winners Bracket. A lot of inevitable mistakes from me because of wrong preparation, still feeling good about the Losers Bracket even though now it's going to be much harder to get Top 4 - ggs & wp
@PtitDrogo
Good series against Trap but he played better than me in that one. He forced a lot of mistakes out of me which made me lose 1-3. This tournament was a great experience and proper practise for me, time to enjoy the rest
