Early life
Career
As a part of the original roster of Gambit Esports, which he joined in 2020, Akhmetshin won the 2021 Valorant Champions Tour: Stage 3 Masters and was the runner up for the 2021 Valorant Champions.[5] At the same time, he was pursuing a degree in law at Kazan Federal University.[6][7] In 2022, because of the sanctions by Riot Games against Russian organizations due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Akhmetshin played independently as a part of the M3 Champions but did not qualify in any masters events and lost the Last Chance Qualifiers. Gambit released their entire roster in August,[8] leading to him signing with Team Liquid in November.[9]
Akhmetshin was unable to attend part of the 2025 Valorant Champions Tour: Toronto Masters with Team Liquid due to visa issues.[10][11][12]
