After a year out of the top league, his new roster of unKnights (later known as ARES, Lucky7 and Oplon) made it back to the Pro League but was unable to achieve much, finishing joint sixth for two seasons before finally being related in Season 7. Since then he has primarily been helped the Italian champions of EnD Gaming/Mkers as an analyst, work which has now landed him a role back in the Pro League.
Now, with one convincing 7-1 victory under his belt against Team Vitality, his next target will be GiFu eSports as he prepares for their game on Friday.

August 5th: Jess leaves PENTA, SirBoss Benched, Janixs Joins as Trialist

Jess has left the team after an apparent fallout with the team, as described in a 40-minute video released by her where she has alleged that there were figures in the PENTA roster working against her by attempting to create mistrust and prevent her from doing her job. According to her, after having joined the team as an analyst, her role had ballooned to that of the coach as well, but things had eventually soured.
SirBoss also mentioned on Twitter that this situation is one that didn't "go the way [he had] planned", seemingly hinting that he had been a victim of the fallout between the players that Jess had explained in her video. As such, he will now be continuing on with the team only as a substitute.
Both Jess and SirBoss had not been seen with the team for a while now, with the former having been on holiday around Europe. Moving onwards, Jess has announced that she will be headlining a new CCS project for which additional details are yet to be announced.
