Following that, the esports player moved to Northeption where he performed well on the Japanese scene and secured a 9-10 place with the team at the international VCT 2022: Stage 2 Masters - Copenhagen. Northeption's run in the current season ended at Valorant Challengers 2023: Japan Split 2, where the team finished 5-6, thereby closing the path to the significant Challengers Ascension 2023 in the Pacific region.
