Biography
Despite playing League of Legends professionally since 2013, Zven's first major showing came in 2015 when he joined Origen. Forming a formidable bottom lane duo with long time partner Mithy, he was one of the main factors behind Origen's crushing performance in the EU Challenger Series. The team made it to the LCS quickly and finished second in their first LCS split. Qualifying for Worlds in a similar manner, they would end up having a performance Europe can be proud of, finishing 3rd-4th after losing to SK Telecom T1 in the semifinals.
Zven in particular was praised for his consistency and team fighting. He and Mithy would end up leaving Origen and joining G2 Esports after the team entered a huge slump. Though this decision was criticized by fans, Zven would end up winning multiple splits with G2. Unfortunately the team wasn't able to show up at Worlds twice in a row. He and Mithy then decided to move over to North America and join Team SoloMid for the 2018 Season in the hopes that they'll have better international showings.
