Chris Loranger

Millenium In June 2010, Loranger signed a three-month contract with French organization Millenium. Two months later, in August, Loranger took home the first-ever Major League Gaming (MLG) StarCraft II tournament title, defeating Jonathan "Kiwikaki" Garneau in the MLG Raleigh 2010 finals.

Team Liquid On September 25, 2010, Team Liquid announced that Loranger would be joining their team. After moving to the Team Liquid team house in Incheon, Korea in January 2011, Loranger competed in Code A, the second-tier bracket, of the Global StarCraft II League (GSL). and a week later, he took down Johan "NaNiwa" Lucchesi at the HomeStory Cup III in Krefeld, Germany.

Returning to Korea for the July 2011 GSL tournament, Loranger made it past the group stages to advance to the Code S Round of 16. However, he was eliminated in the first round by his teammate Jang "MC" Min-chul.

After several failed GSL runs, Loranger headed back to North America in October 2011 and picked up his second MLG championship at MLG Orlando 2011, making him the first player win two MLG titles. The next month, after five seasons in GSL Code S, Loranger was dropped down to Code A. After the loss, Loranger competed Season 2 of the North American Star League (NASL), but his struggles continued, as he was eliminated in the first round of playoffs by Dennis "HasuObs" Schneider.

Returning to South Korea, Loranger competed in GSL Code A, but he failed to qualify for GSL Code S. The same month, he competed in the World Cyber Games (WCG) 2011 in Busan, South Korea. Loranger found success in the group stages, finishing at the top of his group and qualifying for the Round of 16 of the tournament, but he fell in the first round. He finished at the bottom of his Code S group, relegating him to Code A. After a first-round elimination in Code A, Loranger was knocked out of the GSL. Loranger returned to North America, and after two years without winning a major tournament, he won LANHAMMER 2013 in August 2013.

In September 2015, Loranger and his teammate Jang "MC" Min-chul won the 2015 Red Bull Battle Grounds.

On January 1, 2017, Evil Geniuses ended their nearly eight-year StarCraft II division and parted ways with Loranger, officially ending his playing career.

Executive career In 2017, Loranger was named President of Gaming for the Kraft Group, the owners of the Overwatch League team Boston Uprising. Loranger served a dual role as general manager and head coach of the Uprising; under his leadership, the team finished their first season with a 24-16 regular-season record and a loss in the first round of the playoffs. In June 2022, Loranger parted ways with the Uprising.
