These casting stints were met with widespread praise, leading to his selection as an on-air talent for the 2021 LEC season.^[7]

Lamont was part of the casting and analyst lineup for three LEC seasons (2021, 2022, and 2023). He also cast the 2021 and 2022 editions of the League of Legends World Championship and the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational.^[8][9] Lamont cast his final international game during the 2022 edition of Worlds, when he was selected as one of the casters for the tournament's final at the Chase Center in San Francisco, United States alongside Clayton "CaptainFlowers" Raines and Sam "Kobe" Hartman-Kenzler.^[10] In the fifth and deciding game of the said matchup between T1 and DRX, Lamont gained the attention of viewers for his reaction to T1's Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyeong's steal of the Baron Nashor using the Varus, through an utterance of an expletive and with the phrase, "Guma can he steal it".

It was during this tournament where three videos on his YouTube channel would reach at least one million views as of October 2024.

On 12 June 2024, Lamont and his former on-air broadcast colleague Eefje "Sjokz" Depoortere announced the creation of the "League Awards," a League of Legends-oriented awards show aimed at celebrating the game's esports scene and recognizing outstanding players during each competitive season.

Five months later, Lamont announced on 15 November 2024 that he would be starting a professional team called "Los Ratones", with Nemesis and Thebausffs joining the organization as its midlaner and toplaner, respectively. They would be joined by jungler Veljko "Velja" Čamdžić, ADC Juš "Crownie" Marušič, and support Carl Martin Erik "Rekkles" Larsson, with Lamont serving as head coach of the team.^[20]
