However, following a 2024 season fraught with single elimination defeats in playoffs, the storied roster failed to qualify for a single international event, prompting NAVI and Zyppan to go their separate ways at the end of the year.

In search of a new team, Zyppan joined Gentle Mates in a full-scale rebuild for the French organization ahead of the 2025 season. The team managed two wins in Kickoff but fell flat in Stage 1, finishing the group stage with a 1-4 record and failing to qualify for playoffs.

Under pressure to make the top eight or face relegation as an Ascension squad, Gentle Mates opted for another full rebuild. Zyppan continued to play with the team for the Esports World Cup qualifiers but was benched before Stage 2.

With Gentle Mates now relegated from VCT EMEA, Zyppan has stated that he is open to offers from any region for any role.
