Halo 5: Guardians
On October 25, 2015, Town was announced as a member of upstart organization Team Allegiance alongside Naded, Str8 SicK and Goofy. Early into Halo 5's lifespan, Allegiance replaced Goofy and Str8 SicK with Cratos and Suspector. The new roster dominated the Halo World Championship 2016 NA qualifier series, taking the highest seed in the NA Regional Finals. At the X Games Aspen 2016 invitational, Allegiance finished 3rd, earning Bronze Medals. At Regionals, Allegiance finished top 4, sweeping their group and defeating Noble eSports before being upset in the semifinals by Denial eSports.

In the semifinals, Allegiance defeated Team eLevate 4-2, earning a berth in the finals against Counter Logic Gaming. They were defeated 4-0 by CLG, denying eL TowN his first major event win.
Shortly after Worlds, eL TowN left Team Allegiance and joined Team EnVyUs alongside Mikwen, iGotUrPistola and Rayne. The team qualified for Pro League at the Summer Qualifier. EnVy finished 3rd place in the Regular Season, notably having the most maps played out of any team. At the Season Finals, EnVy finished 3rd.
After the season's conclusion, eL TowN was dropped from EnVyUs. He eventually found a home on Luminosity Gaming alongside Naded, Danoxide and Eco. Luminosity had an up and down Fall Season, having impressive showings against the strongest of teams. After some struggles, they replaced Eco with Victory X. Luminosity ended up just missing out on qualifying for the Season Finals in the final week, finishing with a 6-8 record good enough for 5th place.
During the offseason, Luminosity made changes, replacing Naded and Danoxide with Ninja and TriPPPeY. At the new roster's first event together - UGC St. Louis 2017 - they placed in the top 8. After UGC, Luminosity replaced TriPPPeY with Saiyan. At ME Las Vegas 2017, Luminosity managed to qualify for Halo World Championship 2017 after a 4-1 victory over Splyce.

Luminosity took the heated contest 4-3 and moved into the jaws of OpTic Gaming, who swept them out of the bracket. In Losers, Luminosity were swept by the eventual second place finishers in Team EnVyUs and went home with a top 6 finish.
After Worlds, eL ToWn looked to qualify for the Summer 2017 Pro League with a new team, forming Brownies with Prototype, PreDevoNatoR and Commonly. The team broke up after finishing fourth in the Summer LCQ. After skipping the first two weeks of the Summer 2017 Open Circuit, eL ToWn joined pro team Ronin Esports, playing alongside Str8 SicK, Suspector and Spartan. Ronin's performance did not notably improve with eL ToWn on board, as they ultimately finished in 7th place in the season and faced relegation at DreamHack Atlanta. In Atlanta, Ronin were able to defeat eRa Eternity in five games and move on to the Relegation Final match against Oxygen Supremacy. Ronin won the match 4-2, securing their spot in both the Championship Bracket and the Fall 2017 Pro League. Ronin were defeated early in the Championship Bracket by Luminosity Gaming in four games. They rallied back with wins over Wise Gaming and Invictus before being swept out of the bracket by eRa Eternity in a Relegation rematch and sent home with a top 8 finish.
Ronin released Spartan during the offseason, replacing him with Sabinater. After a poor start to the Fall season, Ronin released Str8 Sick, replacing him with Nemassist from the similarly struggling Naventic. With Nemassist on board, the team did not improve, finishing in seventh place with a 1-6 record. At DreamHack Denver, Ronin finished in the top twelve after losses to OpTic Gaming and Luminosity Gaming.
eL ToWn, Sabinater, and Suspector ended up sticking together going into Halo World Championship 2018 season, replacing Nemassist with Artic and originally competing as CbK before being signed by Fyra Gaming on February 9. At MLG Orlando, Fyra were able to go on an Elimination Bracket run and earn a top six finish before bowing out to Team Reciprocity. Shortly after Orlando, the Fyra roster were acquired by Elevate. Elevate finished second in their pool at MLG Columbus, After finishing second in their pool, safely qualifying for Worlds. They then lost two close matches to Renegades and Oxygen Supremacy, resulting in a top eight finish. At Worlds, Elevate finished second in its pool, losing 3-1 to Team EnVyUs. In the first round of bracket play, they lost 4-1 to TOX Gaming, but rebounded with a 4-0 sweep over Str8 Rippin in losers.
