He polarizes. Captivates. Emotionally engages – all in both directions. Or in other words: Where Anders Vejrgang is, there is everything – except boredom. No other EA FC pro divides the scene as much as the freshly crowned champion in the DFB eTrophy with RBLZ Gaming. In the eSports bubble, everyone has an opinion about RBLZ_Vejrgang, who not only provides discussion material with unique gameplay but also with noticeable celebratory gestures.

But who is the person behind the disciplined pro, who has just come of age but has been winning tournaments one after the other for seven years? What makes the player, whom many celebrate and others judge, tick? How does Anders deal with the hustle and bustle surrounding a person and what is behind his cheering, which viewed from the outside seems provocative? You may have asked yourself all these questions before – now you get answers! We spoke with Anders during our spectacular Las Vegas trip.
Vejrgang’s Career Path
As Anders himself mentions in the interview: His rocketing rise is no accident. Since he was eleven years old, he has worked hard on himself and his gameplay to become, be, and remain the best. From the beginning, he has had to deal with haters and jealous individuals who tried to belittle him and dictate what he can and cannot do.
“I remember my first smaller tournaments in Denmark,” says Anders. “Even then, I was looked at sideways because of my emotional reactions to goals and victories. But that never bothered me – not to this day.” Anders has always brushed off negative comments and opinions of others and has followed his own path – one that has been as successful as no other EA FC pro has taken before.
From initial tournament successes in his home country to hundreds of consecutive victories in the Weekend League and winning the FIFAe Club World Cup with RBLZ Gaming, to the status as the only EA FC pro in history to be featured on the Sphere – the world’s largest LED ball with a 16K display in Las Vegas: What RBLZ_Vejrgang has achieved at just 18 years old is beyond the imagination of most people. And his unique journey is only just beginning…
