WHen he was a child, he was fond of competitive games, especially those that belong to the MOBA genre. The first discipline for Fly was HoN. After closing the servers of HoN, the gamer chose a more promising game – Dota 2.

In August 2015, Aizik and N0tai founded their own organization (monkey) Business that would consequently turn into OG.
OG and Worldwide Fame
Fly became an OG player in October 2015. When OG appeared on the world Dota 2 stage, the division of powers was dramatically changed. The European roster got into shape very fast and became one of the most dangerous opponents. One month after founding the roster later, OG became the champions of The Frankfurt Major 2015.

In that month, the team won ESL One Frankfurt 2016. At The International 2016, the roster was destroyed and took 9-12 place.
After the failure at TI6, the team went through the situation and in December 2016 the gamers became the champions at The Boston Major 2016. In April 2017, Fly brought OG to the fourth champion’s title at the major tournament. Fly and his team won The Kiev Major 2017. TI7 met the team giving the gamers a favourite status. Indeed, at TI the team did not show the expected level of gaming and got kicked out of the championship getting placed on 7-8 position.
