Career

With Ninjas in Pyjamas, Freeze Began his LCS career beginning in the summer split of season 3. By the end of the split, the team finished the regular season in 5th place, making it to the playoffs, where they finished 6th overall. This, unfortunately, lead Ninjas in Pyjamas to be relegated to the challenger series, where Freeze would stay for all of season 4, before later leaving the disbanding NiP. Freeze was then picked up by the Copenhagen Wolves before beginning the season 5 spring split, where he and the team finished 6th. In the summer split of season 5, the Copenhagen Wolves were much less successful, finishing in last place, 10th, forcing them to be auto-relegated.[1] And once Freeze's contract expired and he announced his free agency on November 1, 2015.[2] He was picked up by North American team Renegades on January 6,[3][4] where he is currently playing the season 6 spring split.[5] Renagades finished 8th in the LCS, and Freeze left the team after the disappointing finish.

He joined H2k on May 8, 2016, ahead of the EU LCS Summer 2016 split, replacing FORG1VEN at AD Carry as the latter was conscripted into the Greek Army.[6][7][8][9] However, FORG1VEN later had his military service commuted, and transferred to Origen.

On July 27, 2016 H2k announced that Freeze would step away from the roster due to persistent tendonitis.[10] The team stated that FORG1VEN would take his place on the starting roster.[11] Signed by Tempo Storm in December 2016.[12][13]

gollark: So it's the broken version.
gollark: I haven't updated to the latest one because, like I said, my GPU (or that PCIe slot or something, who knows) died.
gollark: The online version *may* occasionally produce broken Unicode for reasons I do not fully understand.
gollark: I'm amazed that such a simple text generation system produces such slightly coherent results.
gollark: Well. The spelling is different.
