's colors. In his 14-month tenure with the French organization, vakk boasted several 2021 VCT appearances and the Open Tour France: Main Event trophy. Vitality had a rough start to 2022, failing to make the top four in the French Regional League's playoffs. On April 23, Vitality dropped the majority of their roster, vakk included.

In Stage 1's EMEA Challengers, Acend finished fifth of their group, just outside the relegation area. As such, the team has been invited to take part in Stage 2's group stage alongside nine other European teams. EMEA Challengers' group stage is slated to begin May 13.
