Career

Aizik, alongside N0tail and NoVa, originally came from iLx and took on the role of drafter for the Fnatic Heroes of Newerth team. He was one of the longest-standing members of that Fnatic squad and moved with them when they switched to Dota 2. In August 2014, both Fly and n0tail departed from Fnatic. He then played the offlane position for Team Secret, joining the team with BigDaddy.

At the end of 2014, Aizik left Secret, separating him from n0tail, but they came back together after The International 2015 to form a new team. He founded OG on October 31, 2015. Shortly after rebranding as OG, the team won the Frankfurt Major in November 2015, taking home roughly US$1 million. Despite a seventh-place result at the Shanghai Major in March 2016, OG claimed victory at the Manila Major in June 2016, making them the first team to win back-to-back Valve-sponsored Dota 2 tournaments.

They also won the smaller ESL One Frankfurt 2016 event. At The International 2016, OG was considered a top contender but ended up in 9th-12th place. On August 24, 2016, founding members MoonMeander, Miracle-, and Cr1t- left the team, but Fly stayed. On August 31, 2016, s4, JerAx, and ana joined.

Although OG won two more major titles, they placed 7th-8th at The International 2017, which led ana to take a break. In early 2018, the team struggled in other tournaments. In May 2018, Fly left OG to join Evil Geniuses with s4. EG finished third at The International 2018, but he faced relentless teasing after OG beat his team and won the championship.

In 2019, the same pattern repeated: EG lost to OG once more, finishing 5th-6th while OG secured a second consecutive International win. He placed 9th-12th at The International 2021. In 2021, he left EG for Talon Esports, then departed Talon and rejoined EG. At The International 2022, EG led the group stage but fell in the playoffs, ending in 9th-12th place.
