Huni reportedly signed a two-year, US$2.3M deal with DIG in November last year. While reports came out that Huni was guaranteed his pay grade whether or not the contract pushed through after the Spring Split, Dignitas CEO Michael Prindiville went on Twitter to say that the deal was never guaranteed.

Incorrect. Not guaranteed.

Huni has been a member of Dignitas (previously known as Clutch Gaming) since November 2018.

Huni and Dignitas faced an early check-out at seventh place in the 2020 LCS Spring Split, losing a tie-breaker with Golden Guardians for the sixth spot in the Spring Playoffs bracket.
