# Hylissang

Zdravets Iliev Galabov, better known as Hylissang, is a Bulgarian professional League of Legends player for Team Vitality. He previously played for Fnatic, MAD Lions and Unicorns of Love. Hylissang plays the support role.

## Career
### Unicorns of Love

Hylissang began his professional career in 2014 when he joined Unicorns of Love. The team's promotion to the EU LCS spring split in 2015 led to a fan-voted entry into the Intel Extreme Masters Season IX. The tournament was Hylissang's and his team's first intercontinental experience. In an upset, UOL defeated Lyon Gaming in the quarterfinals and Team SoloMid in the semifinals. They secured second place in the tournament, after losing to Cloud9. Hylissang's and UOL's debut during the EU LCS spring split was also a success, finishing as the runner-up after a 2–3 loss to Fnatic in the finals of the spring playoffs. In the subsequent summer split, the team finished in 4th place. Despite consistent achievements in the regular splits, Hylissang and UOL were unable to qualify for the World Championship in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

### Fnatic

In 2018, Hylissang joined Fnatic, one of the most accomplished organizations in the LEC. Playing as a support to the experienced and now 4-time MVP winner AD Carry Rekkles, Hylissang contributed to one of Fnatic's most successful years to date. Fnatic would go on to win the 2018 spring split against G2 and then win the summer split versus Schalke 04.
For Hylissang's first World Championship in his career, Fnatic qualified as the number one European seed for Worlds 2018. Fnatic then progressed as first seed from the group stage with a score of 5–1, losing only to Invictus Gaming. With a win over China's Edward Gaming and a sweep against North America's Cloud9, Hylissang and Fnatic advanced to the Worlds finals. This was the team's second showing in the finals of Worlds since 2011. At the time, Fnatic was the only western team to ever make it to the World Championship finals. In spite of their accomplishments in the tournament thus far, the team was swept 3–0 by China's Invictus Gaming in the grand final.
In 2019, Fnatic placed third during the spring split. In the summer, after a long final series, Fnatic lost 2–3 to their rivals G2. While not the best result for the team, Hylissang was awarded the AMD MVP for his individual performance on Fnatic that year. Going as Europe's second seed in Worlds, Hylissang and his team reached quarterfinals but lost 1–3 to China's FunPlus Phoenix.
In 2020, Fnatic finished second in the spring and summer split, facing defeat to G2 in both finals. Similar to last year, Fnatic qualified as second seed to the World Championship and endured another quarterfinals loss to Top Esports in the World Championship. Afterwards, Rekkles, Hylissang's bot lane partner, departed the team. At the same time, Hylissang's contract with Fnatic was extended for one additional year.
In September 2022, before the start of Worlds, Hylissang and new Fnatic ADC Upset tested positive for COVID-19, causing a delayed start for the two players in the tournament.
After an overall unsuccessful 2021 and 2022 for Fnatic, Hylissang had to leave the team. Following nearly 5 years with Fnatic, Hylissang joined MAD Lions as their new support in November 2022.
