Career

2012 Season

Hart was picked up after gaining notoriety in the League of Legends scene for reaching rank 1 in solo queue playing only support. He was invited to play for the team HOODSTOMPGRAVESGG and was soon after acquired by Orbit Gaming in April 2012. Afterwards, they left Orbit Gaming and were acquired by Quantic Gaming. After leaving this brand, Hart and his team went on to compete as Cloud 9.

2013 Season

Hart and a newly reformed Cloud 9 team went on to have a strong performance in the LCS Summer Split, ending with a victory against TSM 3–0 in the playoff finals.

2015 Season

Hart and Cloud 9 suffered a rough patch during this season, losing many of their games in Hai's absence from the team. After the return of Hai, however, they managed to improve their record and place a spot in the World Championship. In the championship, they were undefeated in their seed in the first week but went on to lose four games in a row to advance to the quarter-finals, placing third in their group.

2016 Season

Hart announced his intended retirement. He retired briefly, but then reentered the scene in 2017.

2017 Season

Hart and Cloud 9 Challenger were purchased and re-branded into FlyQuest. They finished 5th place with a 9–9 record. In the playoffs, they finished 4th overall. At the end of the Summer Season, they finished 7th overall in the regular season and Hart left the team to join OpTic Gaming.
