His early teams were largely based in Peru, and he played alongside various players such as cptn, Госпожа Удача, sTeeP, and Standin.sh3m in his first team. These early experiences laid the foundation for his future success, allowing him to hone his skills and gain valuable experience in competitive play. His early career saw him play for several Peruvian teams before achieving greater recognition in the later years.
