During this period, he also played the AD Carry bottom lane position.[5] He still rarely subs over to this role,[6] but switched to Support in 2013 when he joined Counter Logic Gaming (CLG), the team he would be closely identified with for a long time.[5] Aphromoo played for CLG in the spring split of 2013 as well as from 2014 to 2017, during which he supported AD Carries Doublelift and later Stixxay.[5] CLG would go on to win the 2015 NALCS Summer Split as well as the 2016 NALCS Spring Split.[7] CLG also attended the League of Legends World Championship in 2015 and 2016, albeit with mixed results.

Aphromoo's veteran leadership and strong individual performance was credited as major reasons behind 100 Thieves' success; they placed 1st in the NALCS in regular season, and took 2nd place overall after the playoffs.
