Biography[]

Nickolas "Hakuho" Surgent played for multiple challenger teams in 2014 and 2015, including Zenith eSports, Escalate Legion Gaming (for the AlphaDraft Challenger League and the League One tournament), and Aware Gaming.

2016 Season[]

In late 2015, Hakuho joined Team Frostbite, and they placed in second in the HTC Ascension tournament, behind Team Liquid Academy. They later reached the NACS Spring 2016 Qualifier via the open bracket. However, once again they lost to Liquid Academy, failing to make the spring season. After their loss, Team Frostbite disbanded.

After Team Frostbite's disbanding, Hakuho joined Dream Team as a stand-in support player for two games in the NA Challenger Series. The next day, he joined NA LCS team Renegades, replacing former support Remi.[20] After Hakuho's addition to the team, Renegades continued their 5-game losing streak another 7 games, through the first day of week 7. However, with a roster change replacing RF Legendary and Flaresz (who had been sharing the top lane) with Seraph and Alex Ich with Ninja in a trade with Team Dragon Knights, Renegades turned their season around enough to finish 8th after winning a tiebreaker with Team Impulse. In the Summer Promotion Tournament, Renegades defeated TDK 3-0 and requalified for the Summer Season.

However, on May 8, Riot released a competitive ruling stating that Renegades would be forced to sell their LCS seed due to multiple rule violations, and Chris Badawi would be permanently banned from "association or affiliation with any team or organization participating in a Riot-sanctioned league".[21] On May 18, Team EnVyUs was announced as the new brand.[22]

Hakuho stayed with EnVyUs along with Seraph and Ninja. Fueled by strong practice going into the season, the team started out 4-0 in series records after two weeks, sharing first place with Team SoloMid. However, in the weeks that followed, they slipped down the standings all the way to sixth place, where they sat from week 6 through the end of week 9. With the bottom seed into the playoffs, EnVyUs faced Cloud9 in the quarterfinals where they pulled out a game 1 comeback win before losing the next three to be eliminated. They ended the season with 20 championship points. In the Regional Finals, EnVyUs defeated Team Liquid's new roster with Arcsecond jungling but then lost to Cloud9, who went on to win the gauntlet.

2017 Season[]

Hakuho stayed with Team EnVyUs for the 2017 season. Visa issues prevented intended starting jungler LirA from appearing until week 2 of the spring season, forcing the team to switch mid lanerNinja to jungle and play substitute Alex Ich in mid lane. LirA's arrival did not improve things, as EnVyUs finished 3-15 and never ended a week anywhere other than tied for last place, meaning they would have to play in the promotion tournament.

EnVyUs began the promotion tournament inauspiciously, dropping a 3-1 set to the veteran Gold Coin United lineup, sending them into the losers bracket. There, they defeated EUnited 3-1, setting up a rematch with GCU where they outlasted them 3-2 on the strength of LirA's play, keeping their LCS spot.

EnVyUs looked better in the summer split with Pirean and Nisqy playing mid, starting the split 3-1. They declined to 8-10 by the end of the season but still made the playoffs as the sixth seed. In the playoffs, EnVy took a 2-1 lead against CLG and came close to upsetting the third seed, but was unable to prevail. This ended their season, as EnVyUs didn't have enough championship points to play in the Regional Finals.

2018 Season[]

EnVy was not accepted into the newly franchised LCS for 2018, and Hakuho left the team. He joined the newly formed Clutch Gaming, along with his 2017 EnVy teammates Apollo and Lira. Once the Spring Split began, Clutch quickly acquired a reputation for beating every team below them and losing to every team above them, only managing three wins against teams that would later make the playoffs, two of which were early-season wins against a slumping TSM. This consistency led to them clinching a playoff spot by Week 7 with a 9-5 record. However, Clutch stagnated over the final two weeks, falling into a four-way tie for third that necessitated a tiebreaker series. Clutch's struggles continued in that series, as they lost both tiebreakers to fall into sixth place.

In the playoff quarterfinals, Clutch faced third seed TSM, who were the overwhelming favorites due to their veteran lineup and having gone 5-1 over the final three weeks of the season. TSM dominated Clutch in the first game, but Clutch came back to stomp them in the next three games, becoming the first team in the history of the NALCS to defeat TSM in quarterfinals, and keeping them out of the finals for the first time. Clutch then moved on to face the 1st seeded 100 Thieves in the semifinals and took the series to the full five games, but dropped a nail-biting, 74-minute game five. This sent Clutch to the third-place match against 2nd seed Echo Fox. Despite expectations of a close series, Echo Fox stomped Clutch in three quick games.

Clutch started the summer split similarly to the spring, going 1-1 each week over the first four weeks. Unlike the spring, they were unable to keep this pace up over the entire season and only managed two wins over the final five weeks, eventually falling all the way into ninth place, ahead of only Golden Guardians. Although they did not make the playoffs, their spring finish meant that Clutch still had a slot in the Regional Finals, but they were swept by Echo Fox in the first round, ending their season.

2019 Season[]

Hakuho left Clutch and joined Echo Fox for the 2019 season, along with Apollo and their Clutch teammate Solo. Echo Fox started out the season consistently, losing every game played on Saturday and winning every game played on Sunday for the first four weeks, a streak tied to jungler Rush that was said to date back to his first tenure in the NA LCS from 2015-2016. However, this streak was broken in Week 5 with Echo Fox's first 0-2 week, causing Rush, whose play had been questionable even in wins, to be replaced by academy jungler Panda. Rather than reversing the team's fortunes, this move caused Echo Fox to lose their next four games. Rush then returned, and Echo Fox shot back up again, upsetting the first and second place Team Liquid and Cloud9 and defeating CLG on the last day of the season to secure the sixth and final playoff spot. This matched them up against third place TSM in the playoff quarterfinals. Echo Fox managed to take the first game, but lost the next three against the higher-seeded team, ending their split.

Echo Fox started the summer split with academy bot laner Lost playing in place of Apollo, breaking Apollo and Hakuho's streak of playing every game together that stretched back to 2017. The team struggled to begin the split, leading to Apollo returning, but this too failed to turn the team around. Echo Fox then tried Lourlo in the top lane, as well as Panda and former Rookie of the Split MikeYeung in the jungle, but no roster seemed to produce consistent results, and they ended the split in last place with a 4-14 record and did not have enough championship points to play in the regional qualifier.

2020 Season[]

Apollo and Hakuho both joined the newly reformed Immortals organization for 2020, but Apollo was assigned to Immortals Academy while Hakuho joined the LCS roster. Immortals started the spring split looking shaky, but managed to pick up multiple wins anyway, ending Weeks 3 and 4 tied for second place behind the dominant Cloud9. They declined after that, somewhat expectedly, but remained competitive for one of the final playoff spots, even as Altec was subbed out, reuniting Apollo and Hakuho. Going into Week 9, Immortals needed only a single win to clinch playoffs but faltered just before the finish line as Dignitas and Golden Guardians surged, forcing them into a three-way tiebreaker for the final playoff spot. Placed into the first round against Dignitas, Immortals were unable to reverse their slide and lost, ending their season.


In a move that was heavily criticized by the community, Apollo, Hakuho, and jungler Xmithie were all sent to academy to begin the summer split. After the academy team went 2-2 and the LCS team lost their first four games, the academy roster of Allorim, Xmithie, Insanity, Apollo, and Hakuho all moved to the main roster and played every remaining game. However, this new roster only managed to win four of their remaining fourteen games and ended up in last place with a 4-14 record.

Trivia[]

  • Known for his longtime duo with bot laner Apollo, with them playing every game together from the NA LCS 2017 Spring to the LCS 2019 Summer across three different teams.
    • At the time it ended, they were the longest-standing active duo.
    • Throughout their time playing together, they were considered a consistent bot lane but rarely had particularly outstanding moments.
    • After this streak was broken, they also played together on Immortals.
  • Known for his MorganaSquareMorgana and ZyraSquareZyra, with other pros claiming he never misses a Morgana binding in solo queue.
