From 2008 to 2014 he was part of several teams, including Status Quo, with which he took first place in the MLG Winter Championship 2012.
Counter Logic Gaming
In November 2014, SnakeBite joined the Counter Logic Gaming team , which over time has been labeled unstoppable, as evidenced by the fact that they suffered only a single loss during the HCS Pro League Summer Season. Under this team he also achieved victory at the Halo World Championship 2016, where the team won a prize of one million US dollars . In September 2016 Counter Logic Gaming released the Halo team to focus more on the other games, which was subsequently taken over by Optic Gaming.
