Career highlights and awards

FalleN and four other Luminosity Gaming teammates were involved in a contract dispute between SK Gaming and Luminosity.[5] Eventually the players transferred to SK.[6]

Although winning their group stage in ELeague Season 1 being favorites to win, FalleN's SK Gaming team was ultimately removed from the tournament, along with SK Gaming's former team. The players and teams had violated one of the league's transfer rules, and several other team owners also signed a petition to remove the players.[7]

He held an event for fans at MAX5 on August 13, 2016 in São Paulo.[8]

With MiBR, FalleN and his teammates were the first to lose a game with a 16:0 scoreline in a Valve-Sponsored Major, against Astralis.[9]
