Lonnquist returned to Korea in 2012, but he did not return to casting StarCraft II. The duo cast League of Legends Champions, which rebranded to League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) in 2015, for several years, as well as other League of Legends events, including the 2015 League of Legends World Championship. In March 2016, Lonnquist, along with Mykles and Christopher "PapaSmithy" Smith, refused to cast the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational. The three were freelancers for the LCK and released a joint statement stating that the initial rate that Riot Games, the owner of League of Legends, offered was "40% to 70% of the rate received by talent for major events," and while Riot made a second offer, it was still "far below industry standard for 2016." Lonnquist also declined Riot's offer to cast the 2016 League of Legends World Championship, stating that he had other esports-related obligations in Korea, along with personal projects.

In September 2016, Lonnquist and Mykles were brought on by OGN to cast Overwatch APEX, an upcoming tournament series in South Korea for Blizzard Entertainment Overwatch. Shortly after, the duo announced that they would not be casting the 2017 season of LCK onward. They cast Apex for two seasons, with their final broadcast being the Apex Season 2 Grand Finals.

Blizzard Entertainment In April 2017, Lonnquist and Mykles were picked by Blizzard as both freelance casters and consultants for its upcoming Overwatch League. On January 6, 2020, Lonnquist announced that he was parting ways with the Overwatch League after two seasons; the departure effectively ended his seven-year casting partnership with Mykles. In an interview with ESPN, Lonnquist stated, "The way they're going about doing things just, unfortunately, didn't jive with me and the direction I saw for myself within the league, so it was time to go." Lonnquist continued working with Blizzard in 2020, returning to casting Hearthstone, a game that he had cast while with OGN more than four years prior, beginning with Hearthstone Masters Arlington. He returned to the Overwatch League for the 2021 season to cast late-night Eastern games alongside Andrew "ZP" Rush.

Ubisoft In March 2022, Ubisoft announced that Lonnquist would be the desk host for the 2022 North American League season, a Rainbow Six: Siege league.

College esports In late 2020, Lonnquist became the director of esports broadcasting at his alma mater, Bethany Lutheran College.
