The player won the Overwatch Contenders 2017 Season Zero: North America with the Immortals, before joining the Los Angeles Valiant for the first season of the Overwatch League. The team placed 2nd in the Inaugural Regular Season, and made it to the Final Four of the Overwatch League Playoffs.
Fate was then called to represent his country, South Korea, during the Overwatch World Cup 2018. Team South Korea won the championship, continuing their undefeated reign over the OWWC.
Following the Inaugural Season and this victory in the World Cup, Fate joined the Florida Mayhem. With his new teammates, Fate managed to climb to 2nd place in the May Melee tournament, 3rd during the Countdown Cup and 4th for the Overwatch League 2020 North America Playoffs.
