However, the <strong>squad has not had much success<\/strong> in the last couple of years. Tripex17\u2019s addition to the team should have allowed it to perform better, but the results were not there. That\u2019s one of the <strong>big reasons why the player decided to move to another club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of another club, the Ukrainian will join Wildcard Academy. The American esports organization has had some OK results in 20205 after <strong>winning several events<\/strong> like the United 21 Season 32, 36, 39 and 40. Despite that, it also<strong> experienced several roster changes<\/strong> and has not had much success in 2026. Hopefully, the new signing will allow the team to step up its game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wildcard Academy will have loads of <strong>interesting tournaments ahead,<\/strong> such as the NSTLGA League Season 1, ESEA Season 57: North American Finals and COSSFIRE Season 5. It will be interesting to see how the new player will fit into the roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tripex17\u2019s Career so far<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before joining BIG Academy, the <strong>young CS2 player started his career in 2023 <\/strong>during CS:GO. Once CS2 arrived, the player was a part of PLUSH for around 6 months, and after that, he joined Sabre Esports. His <strong>time there was short-lived<\/strong> because just a month later, he became a part of Valtrion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tripex17 also played around for a month with <strong>that roster and after leaving, he was without a team for around 3 months<\/strong>. In January 2026, the player moved to BIG Academy, where he has played until today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denys \u201cTripex17\u201d Haponov is no longer a part BIG Academy.
