Xdll said he is open to playing the Initiator, Sentinel, and flex roles for a new team. While he primarily played the Initiator role throughout his time with ZETA, Xdll has also added Sage to his agent pool, having played the Sentinel nine times through Stage 2 on maps like Sunset and Split.

Xdll had been with ZETA since the end of the 2024 season, joining from FENNEL FENNEL Japan Rank #6 Hals GangPin Chae Jung-moo (채정무) , with whom he also competed for two seasons. He joined as part of a three-man trio of players who were signed from the Japanese Challengers side, which finished second in Split 2 that year. Xdll's arrival at ZETA was his first time competing at the VCT level, but not his first time with ZETA. In 2022, he was signed as a stand-in for TENNN , who had eye problems, but never saw the stage at Champions Istanbul.

The Hiroshima native made his debut in 2022 with BLUE BEES.ESP BLUE BEES.ESP Japan Rank #19 EscO kuro Lafura , and also signed with SCARZ SCARZ Japan Rank #8 gray9 SacrificE Yamada tf Masato Tsujita before being signed by ZETA later that year. Across two years with FENNEL, he lifted two regional titles while also achieving two additional podium finishes.

In its totality, ZETA's 2026 season has seen the team finish similarly to where it has in previous partnership-era seasons. The year started with a bottom-four finish at Pacific Kickoff, with the regular season stages ending with the team placing 9th-10th and then 11th-12th in the expanded Play-Ins.

ZETA, which was selected as one of two Japanese orgs in VCT Pacific for the next two years alongside Crazy Raccoon Crazy Raccoon Japan Rank #4 , seems set to build from the ground up for its next roster.
