in their respective qualifiers. Outside the VCT, TSM took home two grand final wins in the YFP Winter Classic and Knights Monthly Gauntlet: February. Aleko remained with the roster through it all, playing as an initiator and even picking up the controller role as Viper.
Following an early exit from the Knights Monthly Gauntlet: March, TSM announced the departure of Matthew "WARDELL" Yu later that month. One week later, Aleko announced that he had stopped scrimming with TSM and entered restricted free agency. With the team finding replacements in the form of Anthony "gMd" Guimond and Johann "seven" Hernandez, Aleko remains looking for a new organization to call home.
