Rumors of Houston courting Jecse have circulated since main support Chris “Bani” Benell left the team. They only intensified after the signing of Jung-geun “Rapel” Kim, Jecse’s former support partner on Contenders Korea’s Element Mystic. The duo had strong results with EM, winning some minor tournaments and reaching the semifinals in Contenders Korea 2018 Season 2.
