The 20-year-old npl was originally a rookie in NAVI's youth training and was promoted to the main team in December 2022. He then stayed in NAVI for about eight months, during which time he played in 63 maps and participated in 1,701 rounds, with a KAST of 68.8% and a personal average rating of only 0.92.

During npl's tenure as commander, B8's record has also improved significantly: they not only won the runner-up in the 2024 ESL Challenger Katowice, but also successfully advanced to the second stage of the 2025 BLAST Austin Major.
