In 2023, Kr1stal joined XLG Esports and tried his hand again on the Chinese scene, winning the VALORANT China National Competition Season 2 and ensuring participation in Ascension for the second year in a row. The team successfully advanced to the international league, but tournament rules allow only one foreign player, leading to Kr1stal departure.

Kr1stal is known for his versatile agent pool and consistent stats, such as a K/D of 1.27 on Sova and 1.36 on Chamber. He is now open to new offers as a free agent.
