Bwipo joins ZYB Esport as a coach in the LFL Invitational

ZYB Esport’ LFL Invitational run continues as the team qualified for the Super Group, the second phase of the opening tournament of the French League of Legends circuit. For the rest of the competition, midlaner and CEO Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer announced the addition of Gabriël “Bwipo” Rau as the team’s coach.

Nisqy also stated, “the scrims are going to be more tryhard in order to qualify for the LFL.” If ZYB finishes in the top two among non-LFL teams, the organization will secure an LFL spot for the rest of the year. To help achieve this goal, ZYB brings in Bwipo, who, according to Nisqy, understands French but will handle drafts and reviews in English.

Bwipo began his career in 2015 on the Belgian local circuit before joining Fnatic from 2017 to 2021. During that time, he won the LEC multiple times, reached the semifinals of the Mid-Season Invitational, made two World Championship quarterfinals, and most notably played in the 2018 Worlds final, which Fnatic lost to Invictus Gaming.

Bwipo then moved to North America in 2022 with Team Liquid, where, despite a strong roster including Steven “Hans Sama” Liv, the team struggled to perform. After a year off, he joined FlyQuest, participating twice in the Worlds and MSI, winning the Summer 2024 split as well as LTA splits 2 and 3.

During his second year with FlyQuest, he was joined by another toplaner, the young Turkish player İbrahim “Gakgos” Samet Bulut. Bwipo acted as a mentor for him, and the 18-year-old has since taken over the FlyQuest toplane.

Bwipo found a new team in 2026 with French Flair, Jean "Trayton" Medzadourian's team, for the LFL Invitational, but since the team already included Adam “Adam” Maanane and Raphaël “Targamas” Crabbé, two players who competed in Tier 1 in 2025, the roster wasn’t allowed a third. Bwipo, who was the team’s jungler, had to give up his spot, which was later taken by Isak “NattyNatt” Elgh.

After the first week of the 2025 LTA Playoffs in Brazil, where all LTA South teams were eliminated, Bwipo offered individual coaching to local players, including Diego “Brance” Amaral. He also reviewed games with Vladimiros “Vladi” Kourtidis, the former midlaner of Karmine Corp in 2025.
