Yeti has been active in the high levels of North American competition since Season 5, but only made it to the Pro League after winning Season 7 of the Challenger League and beating Motiv8 Gaming in the relegation playoffs while under Noble Esports. Since then, his team made the playoffs at both DreamHack Austin and Montreal, narrowly avoided relegation during Season 8, and attended the US Nationals 2018 LAN in Las Vegas.

Following Season 8 of the Pro League, the Noble roster left their organisation and was known as OrgLess for three months before disbanding a few days after the Six Invitational 2019 -- the first time a Pro League team from the three main regions had done so since Season 2.
Since then, Yeti has found himself joining the Challenger League hopefuls of Disrupt Gaming in an attempt to make it back to the Pro League. However, prior to this, we spoke to him about his experience as a spectator at the Six Invitational 2019, and his thoughts on the remainder of Season 9:
Obviously you’re here at the Invitational, but are not competing. Is there anything you’ve seen here that has really stood out to you?

What are your thoughts on the teams we have remaining in the semi-finals?

After the Invitational we will see Kaid and Nomad enter the professional operator pool, How do you think this change will affect the meta and what will go on at the pro level?
Going into the next half of the season who do you think we really need to watch for in the North American scene?

Do you have any final comments?
