Levi began his career as a support for Rhinos Gaming but retired in 2017 to transition into a coaching career. He became the coach of Element Mystic later that year, leading the team to an APEX Challengers Season 5 title, the last of the APEX Challengers series.
He remained with Element Mystic as they competed in Contenders Korea in 2018. Despite finishing on top of their group in both Seasons 1 and Seasons 2, Element Mystic failed to advance to the grand final in either season. In their most recent season, Contenders Season 2,Element Mystic finished in the top four after being eliminated in the semifinal.
The Shanghai Dragons now have three coaches on their staff. They are led by head coach BlueHaS , formerly of Kongdoo Panthera, and also coached by creed .
The coaching staff will be leading a roster that is almost entirely new. Only three of the team's nine players played with the Dragons last season.
