Personal life

Career
2015 Season
Lourlo joined CLG Black in 2015, beginning to play for them in the second week of the NACS Spring Season.[2] The team placed 6th and last in the season, after losing a tiebreaker game to TSM Darkness.
2016 Season
In January, Team Liquid announced Lourlo as their top laner for the 2016 NA LCS Spring Season.[2] Liquid's spring split started out rocky, with an 0-2 in the first week. Eventually, they climbed into a fourth-place regular-season finish. In playoffs, they advanced to the semifinals, where they lost a narrow five-game series to CLG (the eventual champions). In the third-place series against the tournament-favorite Immortals who had been knocked down in an upset by TSM, Liquid lost once again, this time 0–3, to finish the playoffs in fourth place overall and continuing their "fourth-place curse."[3]
Team Liquid boot camped in Korea in order to increase the skill of their players. During this time, Lourlo's rocky rookie split was brought into question and Team Liquid Academy top laner Zig was brought to Korea to fight for his spot. After Lourlo won his spot back, Team Liquid faced CLG in the first round of playoffs, where they lost 1–3. In the Regional qualifier, Team Liquid lost 3-0 to Team nV and failed to reach the World Championship.[4]
2020 Season
Lourlo signed with Dignitas Academy during the 2020 offseason. They finished second in the Academy regular season but placed 3rd/4th in the playoffs after losing to Evil Geniuses Academy in the semifinals. Lourlo continued to play for Dignitas Academy for the summer but was called up to the main LCS roster after at the start of week three and played there until the end of week six.[5] He played with Dignitas Academy for the rest of the year.
2021 Season
Lourlo continued to play with Dignitas Academy for the entirety of the 2021 competitive season. He parted ways with Dignitas at the end of the year.[6]
Post professional career
In 2022, Lourlo transitioned away from professional play and signed for Team Liquid as a content creator and streamer.[7] As of August 2026, he remains with Team Liquid.
