Biography

In 2001, Gehlen started his gaming-career with the game Starcraft Broodwar but one year later changed to Warcraft III[1] playing "Human". Later in 2002, Gehlen was able to celebrate his biggest win in a tournament (finished second in the ESL Pro Series) and won 6500 €. In the next year Gehlen wasn't able to achieve such a good place, but in 2004 he was able to finish under the top three.

Only 19 years old, Gehlen became team-manager of his clan Team SK06.[2] After finishing his A-Levels he started working for Turtle Entertainment[3] and began his career as E-Sport-commentator. Furthermore he is managing the Team Alternate and lead it to big tournaments wins in the years 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Since the beginning of the Starcraft II Beta, he began playing and commentating for his new game. In spring 2011 Gehlen became a freelancer but gets hired by Turtle Entertainment for events like the ESL Pro Series or the Homestory Cup.

Homestory Cup

Homestory Cup I

The first Homestory Cup took place in September 2010 and the only players attending were Benjamin "DeMusliM“ Baker, Dennis "HasuObs“ Schneider, Giacomo "Socke“ Thüs, and Jos "ret“ de Kroon. Gehlen and Kevin "RotterdaM“ Van der Kooi casted the event with a price money of 500 €. "DeMuslim“ was able to defeat the other players and to win the tournament. The event was casted from Gehlens flat which was the main reason why it was named "Homestory Cup".

Homestory Cup II

Because of the great success of the first Homestory Cup, Gehlen decided to acquire some sponsors, to raise the price money to 2800 € and he was able to invite eleven players to his house while five others were joining online. Gehlen and also players casted the games and viewer peaks of 20000 could be reached. „White-Ra“ was able to win the tournament.
