WoE

Nikolay “WoE” Ruban was born on October 7, 2003, in Russia. He is Level UP’s position-one carry and the team’s main late-game win condition. He began competing professionally in 2021 and joined Level UP with the former Two Move roster in June 2026.

WoE is still relatively unknown outside Eastern Europe, but his results suggest that he is more than another high-MMR pub carry. He has already won several regional tournaments and reached the Esports World Cup with a team that began its qualification run in the open bracket.

Career

WoE built his reputation with Matreshka and One Move. He won Winline Insight Season 4 with Matreshka before taking RES Regional Series: EU #4 with One Move in 2024.

His biggest step came in 2026. The Two Move stack qualified for the Esports World Cup while losing only one map and was signed by Level UP shortly afterwards. Their EWC campaign ended in 17th–20th place, but the roster responded by winning Asgard Championship Season 1 and finishing second at EPL Masters I.

Playstyle

WoE is a traditional farming carry. His job is to absorb the safe part of the map, hit the important item timings, and become the hero Level UP can rely on when games reach the later stages.

The team’s structure naturally gives him that responsibility: Ainkrad creates activity from mid, while bb3px and the supports try to keep the map playable. If Level UP survives the early game, WoE normally receives enough space to become dangerous.

Interesting Facts

He won regional titles with both Matreshka and One Move.

The Two Move roster reached EWC 2026 by starting in the open qualifier.
