Bwipo

Gabriel Rau, known across the scene simply as Bwipo, ranks among the most decorated and opinionated figures in Western League of Legends. The Belgian, now 27, made his name as a top laner before switching to jungle, the position he currently holds with Forsaken in Rift Legends. Bwipo is famous for a bold, fast-paced style and for speaking his mind about the game, which has kept him in the spotlight on both sides of the Atlantic for years.

From Top Lane Star to Jungle Aggressor

In Europe, Bwipo carved out a reputation in the top lane through aggressive play and a self-assurance that never wavered. He was the kind of player who would push his lane hard and set the tempo of every fight. Moving to jungle showed both his adaptability and his drive to compete, since that role runs on a different rhythm entirely: map-wide movement, securing objectives, and setting up ganks. Very few players make that kind of positional change at the top level, and pulling it off reflects how well he grasps the macro side of the game.

An Expansive and Aggressive Champion Pool

His champion choices point to a player who lives for impact and skirmishes. Gangplank and Jayce are demanding, high-ceiling options that reward precise mechanics and let him build a lead through constant pressure. Aatrox, by contrast, offers a sturdy frontline presence suited to prolonged fights. Swain brings a control-focused, drain-style game, while Rengar delivers explosive, ambush-based plays that fit a jungler looking to pick off opponents. That range shows a competitor who wants to be in the middle of every action.

Bwipo’s career has taken him through some of the sport’s largest events, and he gained particular recognition while competing among the leading teams in both the European and North American scenes. His standing goes beyond mechanical skill: he is a vocal, analytical voice who readily shares his views on strategy, the meta, and his own games. That outspokenness has earned him a loyal fanbase and a prominent place in the wider esports conversation.

With Forsaken in Rift Legends, Bwipo’s next chapter depends on turning his experience and aggressive instincts into steady results from the jungle. A seasoned competitor with a distinguished record and a memorable personality, he remains one of the most engaging players in the Western scene. Whenever Bwipo steps onto the Rift, his mix of confidence, versatility, and playmaking makes him well worth following.
