Skrossi’s consistent performance across events against some of the best teams in India contributed to his rise to fame. His most noteworthy moment arose in the Finals of the Valorant Conqueror Championship 2021 Finals event against Velocity Gaming. The teams were tied 2-2 in the Best of 5 (Bo5) Finals.
