, an organization he would remain with for the remainder of the year. While with EnVision, Tseini qualified for the playoffs of Contenders Season One North America in an improbable underdog run.
He left EnVision before the beginning of 2018. Since then, Tseini has played short stints for a number of European teams competing in Contenders and Contenders Trials.
Most recently, Tseini filled in as a substitute for Team Gigantti at the Assembly Summer LAN. Assembly required all rosters to be composed entirely of Finnish players.
Tseini is most well-known for his flex DPS play, specifically his play on Genji and Widowmaker. However, Tseini also filled the role of flex-tank for some teams, where he mostly played D.Va.
While Tseini's professional career has ended, he stated in his TwitLonger he will likely stream more in the future.
