In EA FC 25 a well-known streamer and supporter of FC Schalke 04 is risking his fan identity with a bet against a professional. He risks receiving the ultimate punishment for any football fan.
Which streamer is it about? Content creator Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen is one of the most watched streamers in Germany and internationally for EA FC 25 (via SullyGnome).
Due to his reach and popularity, he has managed to build a friendly relationship with some real professionals, especially current players of his beloved club FC Schalke 04. His friendship with former Schalke professional Tom Krauß, who is a regular viewer and a decent gamer himself, recently led to a bet.
What kind of bet is it? After GamerBrother started the Weekend League in FC 25 with an impressive record of 6 wins in 6 games, the streamer was tempted to make a bet with his buddy Krauß. The former Bundesliga player agreed to the content creator’s proposal that if he reaches his 12th victory, meaning 6 more wins out of the 9 remaining games, he would distribute 150 gifted Twitch subs worth around 1500 euros (according to prices from Twitch) to GamerBrother.
What would the punishment be? However, if he fails to reach the 12 wins mark, the streamer would have to change his profile pictures on all social media channels to the club logo of arch-rival Borussia Dortmund immediately after the Weekend League is finished and during the first week of Team of the Year in FC 25.
Since GamerBrother, like Krauß, is a big Schalke fan, this punishment is particularly explosive, as no rivalry in German football polarizes as much as that between Schalke and Dortmund.
After a brief hesitation, GamerBrother agreed anyway.
GamerBrother fights for a decisive match for the betting win
How did the bet go? The start to the bet went incredibly poorly. Right in the first game, he suffered his first defeat. After initially 2 more wins, he faced his second defeat. Thus, GamerBrother was under pressure with a record of 8 wins and 2 losses with 5 remaining matches.
After an easy win in the 11th game, he suffered his third defeat in the 12th match. It was clear that he could not afford to lose another game to reach 12 wins. In 2 close games, GamerBrother managed to win each time and fought for a decisive match for the 12th victory.
Against his supposed final opponent, he delivered an exciting match. After his opponent managed to take the lead in the second half, the opponent’s internet connection was interrupted, allowing him to temporarily fend off the impending 4th defeat. The game was not counted.
Here’s how the decisive match for the betting win went: After the streamer was narrowly defeated in the previous game, it became clear early in the very last match that there would be nothing for the streamer to win in this match. In the end, GamerBrother was almost hopelessly defeated by his opponent with a clear 0:4.

“I’m a loser”: Schalke fan faces the ultimate punishment
After the initial disappointment subsided, GamerBrother promptly changed his profile picture on his X account to a Borussia Dortmund logo and soon expressed this with the tweet: “I’m a loser”. Meanwhile, the emblem of the arch-rival also adorns his Instagram and YouTube channels.
How does the community react? The fans are visibly enjoying the sudden image shift of the streamer.
On X, one can find numerous Dortmund memes in the comments section of his post “I’m a loser”. A Photoshop showing GamerBrother allegedly in action on a football pitch in the BVB training outfit from a few years ago can also be found in the comments.
Meanwhile, the content creator even lost his blue checkmark as a sign of authenticity status on X, as the platform likely suspected a possible hacker attack (via X). Meanwhile, GamerBrother has regained his verification, despite his sudden change of heart along with the Dortmund logo.
Also, for the next Weekend League, buddy Tom Krauß has already come up with a new bet for the streamer. GamerBrother shared this with his community in a story on Instagram. However, the professional did not want to reveal what the content of the bet would be this time. However, we already tell you on MeinMMO how you can already get your own TOTY star for Team of the Year in FC 25 for free.
