Before Kool joined mousesports, he played Call of Duty for Team Horizon; he played as a sniper.[5] Kool joined mousesports around April 2017 and has obtained nine trophies while with the team. He was regarded as the MVP of the ESL Pro League Season 10 Finals and has consistently been in HLTV's top 20 list of players since 2018 (Respectively #19, #10, #7 and #18).[6][7][8][9] Kool earned back-to-back top 10 spots on the list in 2019 and 2020.[10]
