Shine was drawn into group D of the Ro16, along with Soulkey, Zest and INnoVation. However, he lost 0-2 to both Soulkey and INnoVation and was knocked down into Code A.
Shine participated in Season 3 and made it out of his Code A group. Although he lost to TY 0-2, Shine managed to defeat both sKyHigh and ByuL 2-0 and returned to Code S. He was placed into Group A with EffOrt, sOs, and Classic. After losing to sOs 1-2, similarly to the previous season, he managed to defeat the reigning champion Classic 2-1 to face sOs in a rematch.
