pAura has been part of the EMEA Valorant scene since 2020 when the game was released. He was one of the founding members of Team Heretics during the 2020 season. After the roster failed to qualify for Masters 2: Reykjavik 2021, pAura departed Team Heretics and joined forces with many top Turkish players to form SuperMassive Blaze. The Turkish roster qualified for Masters 3: Berlin 2021 but had a disappointing Group Stage exit. Playing in the EMEA LCQ, pAura and SuperMassive Blaze finished top 6 and failed to qualify for Champions 2021.
After the disappointing end of the 2021 VCT season, pAura joined BBL Esports as their IGL and qualified for the EMEA Stage 1: Challengers Group Stage but finished with a 2-3 record, just missing out on the playoffs. In Stage 2, BBL Esports finished with a 2-3 record in the Group Stage but failed to qualify for the playoffs due to map differencial.
BBL Esports will play the EMEA LCQ without pAura as they compete against seven other teams for a chance to feature in Champions 2022.
