His most noteworthy moment arose in the Finals of the Valorant Conqueror Championship 2021 Finals event against Velocity Gaming. The teams were tied 2-2 in the Best of 5 (Bo5) Finals. Velocity Gaming dominated the first half of Map 5 (Ascent) and was leading by a considerable margin of 6 rounds with a scoreline of 9-3. The Global Esports squad mounted a steady comeback in the second half. Skrossi secured a brilliant Ace with the Operator in the 5th round of the second half which helped the team build momentum and win the championship.

He had moments of brilliance in some of the matches he played at the Lock//IN event in Sao Paulo and the VCT Pacific League in the 2023 season, but inconsistent performances across other matches meant that the organization had to part ways with him as the season concluded.
