Zven was benched in favor of Cloud9 Academy AD carry Calvin "k1ng" Truong a few days before the start of the 2021 LCS Summer Split and has been starting for C9 Academy in k1ng's place ever since, but the organization tagged the LCS official Twitter account and Zven in a tweet with a photo of the AD carry saying, "He's back."

Cloud9 made the announcement in a tweeted video, which featured CEO Jack Etienne explaining that after nearly a year and a half with the organization, K1ng would be starting in the LCS.
