Michel Grüner

ug-people-michel
My name is Michel Grüner, 24 years old, and I am one of the founding members of United Gosus. I am originally from Würzburg, Germany, but I now claim Munich as my adopted home town.

I have had many great successes within the game, from being the German Champion, Pharaoh Tour Champion, YCS Champion, European Champion, even Video Game National and World Champion. In 2011, I reached the Top 8 of the TCG World Championship, but unfortunately lost; winning that title has always been my main goal. Despite all of my success, I always look to future; it is important to stay humble, not get complacent, and to practice, practice, practice.

Outside of Yu-Gi-Oh!, I also enjoy football (soccer), as a player for ETSV Würzberg. I am currently studying business at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.
