Prior to his retirement in late 2010 Andy was considered around a top 10 player in Germany with his best placing on the German Power Ranking being 6th (tied with Yomi). He managed to take sets from several top players including kJaB and had Game 5 situations with various of the then big 5 players (Ice, Luma, Pamaro, kJab, Ravenlord, Pasi) but ultimately never quite climbed to the top. | |||
Even after 2010 he was still able to achieve top 8 placements at german nationals. | |||
