On August 6, the esports team CREST GAMING announced that Flax is ending his competitive Valorant career and will focus on content creation in the future, including commentary, event participation, and teaching.

Flax, 25, began his esports career in 2017 in the CS scene, playing for leading teams like Impulse and Updraft. In 2020, he transitioned to Valorant and joined Lag Gaming, where the team achieved significant success, including second place at the RAGE VALORANT Invitational and fourth place at the RAGE VALORANT TOURNAMENT and GGC 2020.

In a comment on his X account, Flax stated:

Deciding to end my career was very difficult. I would have continued playing if it weren't for my desire to use my experience in another form and contribute to the eSports industry. I made this decision with a positive outlook.
