The success of Kershner and his team continued even in 2011 when they won third place in three different events of the Halo: Reach. They even won the ESL MCC Launch Invitational. 

Though things were going okay, the team got disbanded after its members APG and Lethal left.

After the team got disbanded, Kershner joined Nobel Black to play alongside ContrA, Arkanum, and Aries.

The team was not doing great in tournaments but was holding on somehow. In between all this, Kershner decided to leave and join the OpTic Gaming organization.

The newly formed team started weakly but gradually improved with time and was even the only North American team competing in the 2015 Gamescom Invitational.

The team underwent several changes with its roosters before Kershner announced that he was retiring, and his team was released from the OpTic organization.

Even after the announcement, Kershner shared his wish to play the initials if another rooster changed.

Despite his wish, no change took place. Instead, a new team, LOL, was formed in its place.

It was the end of his professional career as a video game player, but it didn’t make Kershner leave his passion for gaming.

He started working for OpTic Gaming as a content creator after retiring.

Besides being involved in gaming, the Halo national also has his YouTube channel with 243 thousand subscribers, where he posts fun videos.
