Coming from iLx along with N0tail and NoVa, Tal took over the drafter role in Fnatic HoN squad. Being one of the longest serving members of Fnatic HoN squad, he switched with the team to Dota 2. Fly and n0tail left fnatic in August 2014. Tal played the offlane role for Secret Team, joining them along with BigDaddy. Tal and n0tail were separated at the end of 2014, when Aizik left Secret. The two re-united after The International 2015 in order to create OG, where Tal once again is the captain and drafter while playing the support role.
He founded the team OG October 31, 2015. Soon after their renaming to OG, they won the Frankfurt Major tournament in November 2015, winning around US$1 million in prize money. Despite a 7th-place finish at the Shanghai Major in March 2016, OG won the Manila Major in June 2016, becoming the first team to repeat as champions of a Valve sponsored Dota 2 tournament. OG also won the lesser ESL One Frankfurt 2016 tournament, and Fly was unofficially named tournament MVP by Red Bull.
OG entered The International 2016 as one of the favorites, but ended up finishing 9-12th out of 16 teams. On August 24, 2016, founding members MoonMeander, Miracle- Al-Barkawi, and Cr1t- Nielsen left the team, but Fly remained. On August 31, 2016, s4, JerAx, and ana joined the team.
He is the son of Krav Maga instructor Moni Aizik. Tal has done instructor courses and has an active interest in Krav Maga himself. He says that if he weren't a professional Dota 2 player, he would be a Krav Maga teacher.
