Artur "Nerchio" Bloch (born August 9, 1992 ) is a professional Polish e-athlete in the computer game StarCraft 2 .
Career
Bloch started seeing successes in smaller weekly tournaments shortly after StarCraft 2 was released in late 2010. His first major success was the € 10,000 second place at the IGN ProLeague Season 2 in August 2011. Shortly before, he signed with Team Acer , having played first for against all Authority and then for Team Empire . In 2011 Nerchio was also able to win the Battle of Berlin , but was somewhat restricted by the completion of his studies.
In 2012 Nerchio was able to record several major successes, such as a victory in the HomestoryCup V, a victory in the " WCS Poland Nationals " or a second place in the IEM Season VII - Global Challenge Cologne.
In January 2016 he separated from Team Acer after four and a half years and then played for Team Euronics Gaming until 2018. Since then he has consistently played in the extended European top and is the third most successful European StarCraft 2 player with career prize money of over 371,364 US dollars ( as of September 2019 ).
