TuGuX originally joined the team in January 2015 after leaving German team CPLAY in late 2014. Since then, he's helped the Space Soldiers conquer CS:GO Champions League Season 3 and ASUS ROG Summer 2016.

The team qualified to play in the World Electronic Sports Games 2016 with a 2-0 win over Bravado Gaming in the MEA qualifier in August. However, Millenium's Engin "MAJ3R" Kupeli stood in for TuGuX in the tournament. On Sunday, French esports site FlickShot reported that MAJ3R, who also stood in for Space Soldiers's Ahmet "paz" Karahoca in the European qualifer for World Cyber Arena 2016, would be replacing TuGuX in the near future, but theScore esports has been unable to independently verify their sources.
