Yeah, that's been my life ever since.Dardoch started off his career in the LCS in 2016 as the starting jungler for Team Liquid, where in the Spring Split he won Rookie of the Year and Third All-Pro Team.
[5] It was announced that Dardoch was suspended on 27 May 2016, but Team Liquid co-CEO Steve Arhancet revealed that the suspension had been effective since 18 May 2016.
In the documentary Breaking Point, Dardoch is seen repeatedly criticizing his teammates and coach, blaming them for holding the team back.
Immortal's coach Robert Yip stated that Dardoch was difficult to work with, but he has also shown potential for being the best player in the League.

[14] Counter Logic Gaming was performing very well in the Summer Split, obtaining a 10–3 record, but on 25 July 2017 it was announced that Dardoch would be rejoining Team Liquid.
Counter Logic Gaming had been running a six-man roster with jungler OmarGod acting as a mentor for Dardoch, but the behavior problems persisted enough that the trade became necessary.
During his time on Echo Fox, Dardoch became an All-Star jungler, earning a spot on the 2018 NA LCS Spring All-Pro Team.
Dardoch in an interview stated that Optic Gaming is the best team atmosphere he has been on, which he attributes to his freedom to shot-call and show off his champion pool.
He averaged the second most assists of any jungler at 6.39, right behind Spring Split MVP Blaber, who was a part of the most dominant LCS roster of all time.
In a video regarding the release, Dignitas’ director of esports James Baker cited an incident that occurred after a loss that would eventually lead to his departure from the team.
