Steve “LiQuiD112” Arhancet started off his competitive gaming career through the Turn-Based Strategy, Civilization IV. In the game, Arhancet owned a competitive team, called Team XXX. In 2011, Arhancet became interested in League of Legends shortly after the launch of the game. Arhancet then expanded Team XXX to League of Legends, in which he was a support player for. Arhancets first tournament was the first season of the National ESL Premier League, but in the group stages, his team was absorbed by unRestricted eSports. On August 25, 2011 Curse Inc. signed the entire unRestricted roster including present day professional players such as Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, and Eugene “Pobelter” Park. After playing on the roster for a short amount of time, Arhancet stepped down as a player, with Cody "Elementz" Sigfusson to take his place. Arhancet then took the role Director of eSports for Curse Gaming, becoming the manager for the team.
