Career Goossens began playing StarCraft in 1998 soon after release. At the age of 17, he founded Team Liquid's original website as dedicated fandom to StarCraft with no business intention in mind. After finishing high school he moved to South Korea with the intent of becoming a professional StarCraft player. He struggled financially with many tournaments paying only $50 to $100. He returned to the Netherlands and supported himself through poker. Goossens expanded Team Liquid to other games including Dota 2, a game which he supported since 2015. Goossens announced that Team Liquid was disbanding their Dota 2 team in 2019, the same team which won The International 7 in 2017.
