Biography[]
2013 Season[]
Kang Min-su first entered the competitive scene when he joined Alienware Rangers as their jungler in October 2013 under the name Su. The team competed in the Champions 2014 Winter Qualifiers and made it to the offline qualifiers, but were beaten 2-0 by Alienware Arena. The team renamed to Alienware TOP and competed in the NLB 2014 Winter Season instead. They started in the lowest bracket and defeated LoveLive in the first round, but lost the KT Rolster Arrows in the second round and didn't advance further. Su left Alienware in December.
2014 Season[]
Su next joined the newly formed EDward Gaming Future, in July of 2014 renaming to Move. Move and his new team qualified for TGA Winter 2014, the feeder tournament for the LSPL, as the representatives of Jiangsu province. The team dominated the tournament, not dropping a single game in either the group or bracket stages to win the event and qualify for the LSPL 2015 Spring Season. EDG Future also represented China at the China versus Korea International e-Culture Festival 2014, where they defeated Xenics but lost to HUYA Tigers.
2015 Season[]
Spring Season[]
EDG Future renamed to AD Gaming in the off-season, although they kept their affiliation with EDward Gaming. Move remained with the team for the LSPL Spring Season. However, due to new import restrictions, Move, top laner Ray and mid laner BaeMe couldn't all start for the team at the same time as they had the previous year, due to all of them being Korean residents. With AD preferring to start Ray and BaeMe and use Chinese resident qixiaoyin in the jungle, Move only saw action in three late-season games, posting a 2-1 record. AD topped their group and qualified for playoffs, but Move saw no further action with the team.
Summer Season[]
In May, Move moved to North America to play with Gravity for the summer split of the NA LCS. He replaced former jungler Saintvicious, who moved to coach Team Coast. In the summer split's regular season, Gravity finished each week in at worst fourth position, even holding sole possession of first place for weeks 7 and 8; however, they lost both of their games in the final week and ended the season in fourth, after a tiebreaker loss to Team Impulse. Move was also named Rookie of the Split and was the Weekly MVP for Weeks 2 and 7.
In the playoff quarterfinals, Gravity lost to Team SoloMid, leaving them with a year-long total of 30 Championship Points, and qualifying for the regional finals in fifth place. They lost immediately in the gauntlet, reverse swept by first-round opponent Cloud9, who went on to qualify to Worlds. In December, Gravity's LCS slot was purchased by Echo Fox, and Move left the team.
2016 Season[]
Summer Season[]
Move didn't play again until the next summer, when he joined the European team Unicorns of Love along with Exileh and Veritas. The Unicorns, who were coming off a split of instability at the jungle position, got off to a weak start, recording only 3 points over the first three weeks. However, the team improved after that and although they never challenged for the top of the league, they rose up the standings and eventually passed the hotter-starting FC Schalke 04 Esports to finish sixth.
In the playoffs, Move and his team matched up again third-seeded Giants Gaming and upset them 3-1. They competed against first seed G2 Esports in the semi-finals, but fell 3-1, and then lost by an identical score to H2k-Gaming in the third-place match. However, their playoff performance gave Unicorns a seed in the regional finals with a chance to make Worlds. Seeded into the first round, they swept both Giants and a floundering Fnatic to reach the final round against the heavily favored Splyce. Unicorns took Splyce to the full five games, but were unable to prevail in the end, leaving them short of worlds.
Although they fell short of Worlds, Unicorns of Love were invited to IEM Season 11 Oakland after Splyce forfeited their seed. With a reduced field of teams competing, Unicorns easily defeated Brazilian team INTZ 2-0, then defeated TSM 2-1 to advance to the finals. There, they defeated the LMS's Flash Wolves 3-2 to win the tournament. However, despite their recent success, Move left the team a week after IEM ended.
2017 Season[]
Spring Season[]
Move joined Turkish team Dark Passage for the 2017 season, ironically swapping places with Romanian jungler Xerxe, who went from Turkey to Unicorns of Love. Although Dark Passage was the defending champion of the TCL, they retained no players from their 2016 summer campaign, and it showed in their performance. The team won only a single series and sat tied for last place at the end of week three, prompting them to release Move and top laner Bwipo.
Summer Season[]
Move sat out the remainder of the spring season, but joined another Turkish team, 1907 Fenerbahçe Esports for the summer season. His second stint in Turkey went much better, as Fenerbahçe finished the first five weeks in either second or third place before surging over the final three weeks to overtake SuperMassive Esports and Crew e-Sports Club and claim first place. Their regular-season finish gave Fenerbahçe a bye into the playoff semifinals, where they handily swept Crew e-Sports, followed by a finals sweep of SuperMassive to take the title.
This qualified Fenerbahçe for the Worlds 2017 Play-In stage. However, Move's season would end on a tragic note, as visa issues prevented him from joining his team in China for Worlds. Using Crash as an emergency substitute, they were able to qualify for the main event, but Move was unable to play for the entirety of the tournament.
After this disappointing end, Move left Fenerbahçe in November and joined Machi Esports of the LMS.
2018 Season[]
Spring Season[]
Move got the majority of the starts for Machi in the spring split, although he was occasionally subbed out for Taizan. The team performed better with Move, but in a split dominated by Flash Wolves and G-Rex, Machi were a middling team only on the cusp of playoffs for most of the split. Down the stretch, they managed to overtake a slumping J Team to finish third with an 8-6 series record, four series behind G-Rex.
In the playoffs, Move started the first game against fourth-seeded MAD Team but was replaced by Taizan after a loss. Machi won game 2 after the swap, but lost games 3 and 4 with Taizan playing, ending their season.
Summer Season[]
Move left Machi in May and rejoined Fenerbahçe, reuniting him with his 2017 teammates Thaldrin, Frozen, and Padden. Fenerbahçe won their first three games to start the summer split, but were unable to replicate their previous dominance and soon fell to a .500 record. By the end of Week 6, Fenerbahçe had settled into third place and stayed there for the remainder of the split, finishing with a 15-13 record.
In the playoffs, Fenerbahçe defeated sixth-seed Bursaspor Esports 3-1 in the quarterfinals. This sent them to the semi-finals, where the team faced their 2017 finals opponent SuperMassive Esports. However, they were unable to get past the eventual champions, falling 3-1 and ending Move's season short of Worlds once again. In November, Move left the team for the second time.
2019 Season[]
Summer Season[]
Move didn't play again until the following summer when he returned to Turkey and joined Bursaspor Esports, replacing the struggling Taikki. At the time Move joined, Bursaspor was sitting at 3-5 and still easily within reach of playoffs, but although he posted a better KDA than Taikki over the remainder of the split, the team failed to improve as a whole, finishing 6-12 and in eighth place. Move left the team in November.
