Before joining BBL, Brave was part of SMB, a team that made frequent appearances in EMEA VCT Challengers events in 2021 due to their dominance in the Turkish scene. Brave and the rest of the roster would go on to qualify as EMEA's second seed to Masters: Berlin, where they would be the first team to represent Turkey on the international stage. Despite their best efforts, the team exited in the group stage after a loss to Acend Acend Inactive ALIVE Gilad Hakim musashi Alessio Xhaferi pyrolll Artur Minin cullumx Nikolaj Cullum Andersen chiwa Egor Stepanyuk , just three rounds shy of qualifying for playoffs.
After failing to qualify for Champions 2021, Brave and the rest of SMB were relegated to VCT Promotion, where they effectively ended their 2022 season after losing to FOKUS FOKUS Europe Rank #48 hoody Aaro Peltokangas YaBoiLewis Lewis Hughes Mistic James Orfila al0rante Felix Brandl xuss Tselmeg Tsolmon and Rebels Gaming Rebels Gaming Inactive .
On the other hand, BBL attempted to improve their results after a rather unsuccessful 2021 season. Absent an invite to EMEA Challengers events, the team worked their way up from the TR Stage 1: Challengers 2 closed qualifiers into the EMEA Stage 1: Challengers group stage. Even after failing to advance to the playoffs, the team made another appearance in the group stage of EMEA Stage 2: Challengers in hopes of qualifying for playoffs, but finished among the top-eight yet again. With their 2022 season's life on the line, BBL attended the EMEA LCQ, but bombed out without a win after falling to Guild Esports Guild Esports Inactive and Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Rank #22 paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski kamyk Maks Rychlewski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak , the eventual winners of the event.
Nearly a week after their match against Guild, BBL made changes to their roster by parting ways with Melih "pAura" Karaduran and stand-in Caner "CyderX" Demir, opening a position in their starting roster later to be filled by Brave. His acquisition reunites him with former SMB player Mehmet "Turko" Özen, a teammate who was by his side at Berlin.
