Personal life
Kurtis attended the University of British Columbia before dropping out to play Dota 2 professionally full-time. His parents were initially skeptical of his career choice but eventually accepted it as he won more tournaments.
History
EG acquired Ling from Cloud9 in January 2015.
On August 14 Aui_2000 was kicked off of the team just days after winning TI5. Artour "Arteezy" Babaev replaced him on the roster. His sudden dismissal after winning the Dota 2 championships sparked some outrage from the community, and forced team captain Peter "ppd" Dager to write a blog detailing the reasons behind Aui_2000's removal from the team.
Shortly after being kicked from EG, Ling formed his own team, Digital Chaos, but struggled to achieve any significant results. On March 25, following the abrupt departure of Artour "Arteezy" Babaev and Saahil "UNiVeRsE" Arora from Evil Geniuses, Ling announced that he would be rejoining the team. Ling was kicked from the team once again after the Manila Major 2016 in June.
