The ex-Team Liquid support has been a part of the LCS for over 5 years, making his debut back in 2017 with Immortals. This year set his place as one of the best supports in the league with a second place finish to TSM in the 2017 Summer Split. With this being the final year of the LCS before franchising Olleh was hoping that he would be able to find himself a spot on one of the best rosters, which he did.
Team Liquid gave him the starting support on their talent packed super team. This team was filled with proven super talent like Yiliang 'Doublelift' Peng and Jeong 'Impact' Eon-young, this team was built to win and that they did with 2 LCS titles being secured over the 2018 Season. Olleh had a successful year with the team that made the North American league theirs to win, but sadly this is not where he would stay. Team Liquid would cut his stint after a year replacing him with support Jo 'CoreJJ' Yong-in.
Olleh would go into the 2019 season looking to continue his success in the LCS, finding a spot on a Golden Guardians roster bustling with undervalued talent. This team rocked veteran players like 3 time LCS champion Kevin 'Hauntzer' Yarnell and the Anivia king Henrik 'Froggen' Hansen. This team did not find any success over the year, who lost early on in their playoff journeys.
That would be the last time the player would place himself among the top supports in the league as he found himself fighting for his place in the academy league. He would have short stints in the Golden Guardians and Dignitas academy rosters for 2 years. He would only find a place back in the LCS in 2022 where he would be back for his second stint with the Golden Guardians. This year he would qualify for playoffs in both splits with no immediate success losing in the early stages of their playoff runs.

Olleh will not be competing in the immediate future of the LCS, however as the 27 year old has proven, he is someone that you should never count out.
