In January 2024, Flax joined CREST GAMING Zst, but the team did not make it through the open qualifiers for VCJ 2024 Split 1. In Split 2, they reached the Advanced Stage but failed to advance to the Main Stage, falling short against leading teams from their region.
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.
