YEKINDAR built his reputation as one of the most aggressive riflers of his generation. His explosive entry style made him a standout player during his time with Virtus.pro, where he became one of the world's highest-rated players and finished eighth in HLTV's Top 20 for 2021. He followed that with another Top 20 appearance in 2022.

His career later took him to Liquid, where he gained experience on an international roster and eventually took on greater responsibility within the team's system. After leaving Liquid, YEKINDAR received another opportunity at the highest level when FURIA brought him in as a stand-in in April 2025.

The move quickly became much more than a temporary solution. YEKINDAR helped FURIA build its new international system and also played an important part in helping molodoy adapt while the young Kazakh AWPer was still becoming comfortable communicating in English. FURIA made the transfer permanent in July 2025, signing YEKINDAR through the summer of 2027.

His arrival helped change both the style and identity of the team. FURIA was no longer limited to Brazilian talent, and YEKINDAR's experience in European and North American Counter-Strike provided another perspective inside FalleN's system. The result was the most successful period in the organization's history, with four trophies in late 2025 and a Major final the following year.
