While Coluge has been a player in the collegiate scene for Winthrop University, he played the role of a substitute in order to prioritize other esports, allowing for Boston “Infekted” Fine to take the tank position. He was briefly signed to the M80 roster in OWCS 2024 and travelled to the Esports World Cup, where the team finished 9th-12th.

Throughout 2025, Coluge remained on the Winthrop roster as a backup player while he played in Marvel Rivals for Sentinels and Team Envy. Team Envy has since disbanded their Marvel Rivals operations, leaving Coluge as a free agent.

Team Liquid has not had a sixth player since releasing Lee "KNIFE" Seon-woo in 2025, however, OWCS rosters are required to contain six players. While Coluge brings off-tank options to their compositions that Infekted lacks, it is currently unclear as to the extent Team Liquid will utilize a second tank option.

Team Liquid and Coluge will kick-start their competitive play when Stage 1 begins on March 21.
