Lukas Wolff - who goes by Lukas - comes from Aachen, Germany and joined FC Hansa Rostock ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

Now 20, he has been involved in Esports for some time and joined the club based by the Baltic Sea after impressing in the eAcademy of VfL Wolfsburg and the organisation IQONIC.

He had held an interest in Hansa before joining them in August, having initially been inspired by the club's guest appearances in Aachen in the past.

If there's one way of capturing a club's attention then beating them is up there with the most effective, and Lukas did just that to Hansa in the DFB-ePokal 2023.

He and IQONIC teammate JH7 defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 to set up that meeting, in which Lukas beat Henning 2-1 before levyfinn took the game to a 2v2 decider that IQONIC won 2-0.

Even though the team was beaten by RBLZ in the semi-final, Lukas offered another insight into what he can do with a 3-2 win in his individual match against former eWorld Cup champion Umut.

There were more positive signs from the German during the FC Pro Open Global Qualifier in FC 24, beginning with a commanding 6-1 win against Julien.

After losing a penalty shootout against dsaanchez, he recovered to beat Adrian Cifuentes, BerkayLion and Emre Yilmaz in the other Swiss Stage matches.

Lukas was just as impressive in the knockouts, winning back-to-back matches against Albertss and JistenNSQ to confirm his place at the Open.

The German showed plenty of emotion in London but also had reason for encouragement, coming fourth to confirm his place in next year's competition and notably securing a draw against compatriot Umut.
