## Career

### Season 2

*In Season 2, raptor was invited to the league after hearing about it from andrew, joining under the alias
-RaPToR-. After signing up for the league in the Season 1 Offseason, he went through the Major draft and was selected in the 4th round by the*  *Planet of the Apes. However, he failed to make the final roster, and was cut in the preseason. He was then immediately signed by the Grand Master Elites, which consisted of MasterRoshi1, RT123456789, fcLeeT, and in7ac7. Early in the season, MasterRoshi1 was cut, and thePunkville was promoted from the Queen. The team finished at the bottom of the conference with a record of 2-7, but still managed to make the playoffs. Additionally, the King managed to win over the  Gorillas with a 2-0 score, which was enough to make it to the finals. However, in that game, they lost to the*  *Andromeda with a score of 0-2. Frustrated with his results, he decided to try another season to see if he could win it all.*

### Season 3

*Raptor was kept in the 7th round of the Major draft by the*  *Avalon. However, he again failed to make the final roster, and was cut from the team in the preseason. However, a day later, he was signed in place of Imperial, and the roster for the season consisted of in7ac7, Alex, fcL, Kovora, and raptor. However, later in the season, he was cut, and drf was promoted from the  Valhalla in his place.*

*In the offseason of Season 3, Raptor was demoted to the Minor tier.*

#### Admin Election

*In the offseason of Season 3, raptor ran for admin of CSC. His platform was the offer to create servers and provide technical aspects to CSC that were missing at the time. In retrospect, this would prove to be a promise that he continues to keep throughout his entire career as an admin. Combined with the background of his previous experience in hosting Counter Strike events and a promise to build upon the foundation that previous CSC admins have created, he won the admin election with 85 points, and was promoted on November 15, 2020.*

### Season 4

*Raptor was drafted in the 4th round of the Minor draft by the*  *Construction Zone. For the first time in his CSC career, he made it through preseason cuts, and the team consisted of ViV1d, ajdewane, LomTree, Kovora, and raptor. Later in the season, Kovora would be traded in exchange for P0L1K. Raptor proved to be a valuable asset to the team, as he finished the season with the highest rating on the team, and made the all-star roster. The team finished the season with a 4-6 record, which was enough for 4th place in the division. However, in the playoffs, the team fell to the*  *Spartans 2-0, against former teammate Kovora.*

*This would prove to be the beginning of Raptor's stint of dominance in the Minor tier.*

### Season 5

*Raptor was kept in the 1st round of the Minor draft by the  Steel Curtain. Additionally, he survived preseason roster cuts, and the roster going into Match Day 1 consisted of ajdewane, LomTree, ViV1d, Legend, and raptor. On Match Day 2, after a showcase match win over  UnSafeMars, Raptor was interviewed by the casters of that game. He went on to say that he had high hopes for the season, and couldn't wait to see what the rest of the season had in store for the team. The  Purple People Eaters finished the season in 3rd place within their conference, had a 5-6 record, and made the playoffs. However, the team would fall to the*  *Zoomers in the series, losing 0-2.*

*In the offseason of Season 6, raptor's reign of terror in Minor came to an end, and he was promoted to Major. Additionally, raptor was put up for re-election as Admin, and won on the grounds of being unopposed.*

### Season 6

Raptor was kept in the Major draft in the 6th round with the 9th pick in the round by  *Steel Curtain. Additionally, he made the final roster, which initially consisted of Hacuub, SlyAsALie, TheGoatInTheBoat, ajdewane, and raptor. In the beginning of the season, Hacuub was replaced by Bojacc, and later SlyAsALie was traded in exchange for thePunkville. Shortly after, thePunkville was cut and replaced by omni. The  Steel Curtain finished the season 1-15, which was last in their conference and set a record for the most losses in a season.*
