Professional Career[edit]
Early Career[edit]
Merlini joined APEX along with p0c and Fang, which was formed by Corea. Team APEX eventually obtained sponsorship from JMC. In CAL, they defeated the more favored Complexity and got 2nd in the first MYM Prime Defending. However, not long after, problems from their real lives prevented them from further playing. They soon disbanded after.
MYM[edit]
After Loda left MYM, Merlini joined them. In Dreamhack Summer 2007, MYM met T_T in the finals and won gold with great jungling abilities from Merlini. However, due to personal reasons and the fact that Merlini couldn't train routinely with the team, Merlini had to leave the team again.

May 2009, Merlini and Fear joined Evil Geniuses, but internet problems and conflicts with the organization led to disbandment.
Blight.int[edit]
In a short lived 2 months with Blight.int, Merlini won the F4F.
