Mikyx started his professional League of Legends career as a substitute player for Fnatic. He soon rose to fame in his time with G2 Esports, and got a semis exit with them in the 2020 World Championship. Mikyx was paired in bot lane with some of the biggest names in Western League of Legends: Martin “Rekkles” Larsson and Luka “Perkz” Perković.
In the past two weeks of the LEC Spring 2022, EXCEL played with Henk “Advienne” Reijenga. In a statement issued by Advienne, he stated that the decision to replace him with Mikyx “is NOT made based on performance issues, motivation issues, issues with regards to my personality or anything in/out of game related. It is purely a business decision.” In addition to this, Advienne claims that “On Sunday I’ve been told by the management of Excel that I was to be replaced by Mikyx, after just 2 weeks of play in the Spring Split, for the upcoming week of the LEC and the rest of the LEC onwards. This decision was taken by the management only, without any open dialogue with my (now ex) teammates or any heads up to me prior to the decision already being made.”
Advienne's current status is Inactive. He is still under contract with XL until November 2022, but has received permission to talk to other teams.
