He previously competed in minor league tournaments in the region with one appearance at ESL One Hamburg 2018, where his team finished 11th-12th place. Whitemon left EVOS Esports in September of last year but remained as an active player.
Whitemon will be joining his fellow countryman, Kenny “Xepher” Deo, along with Geek Fam’s three Filipino core players Marc “Raven” Fausto, Karl “Karl” Jayme, and Carlo “Kuku” Palad.
