Career 2015 Season Lourlo joined CLG Black in 2015, beginning to play for them in the second week of the NACS Spring Season. The team placed 6th and last in the season, after losing a tiebreaker game to TSM Darkness.
2016 Season In January, Team Liquid announced Lourlo as their top laner for the 2016 NA LCS Spring Season. Liquid's spring split started out rocky, with an 0-2 in the first week. Eventually, they climbed into a fourth-place regular-season finish. In playoffs, they advanced to the semifinals, where they lost a narrow five-game series to CLG (the eventual champions). In the third-place series against the tournament-favorite Immortals who had been knocked down in an upset by TSM, Liquid lost once again, this time 0–3, to finish the playoffs in fourth place overall and continuing their "fourth-place curse."

During this time, Lourlo's rocky rookie split was brought into question and Team Liquid Academy top laner Zig was brought to Korea to fight for his spot. After Lourlo won his spot back, Team Liquid faced CLG in the first round of playoffs, where they lost 1–3. In the Regional qualifier, Team Liquid lost 3-0 to Team nV and failed to reach the World Championship.
