Career edit
Cloud9 owner Jack Entienne alleged that LA Renegades owner Chris Badawi attempted to poach Hard while he was still under contract with C9, a claim denied by Renegades management.[1]
Hard was announced as part of Echo Fox's starting roster on January 5, 2016. Along with two other foreign players on his team, Froggen and kfo, he missed the first game of the 2016 Spring NA LCS because his team was unable to obtain proper documentation in time.[2][3][4]
Echo Fox finished last in the 2016 Summer NA LCS, but survived their relegation match.[5]
