One of the key moments in Nikita's career was September 5, 2021, when he crossed the $100,000 mark in prize money for the first time. This was made possible by winning the FNCS: Chapter 2 Season 7 Grand Finals (EU). Then he received exactly $100,000 for first place - and this was not only his first, but also his biggest win. Later, on March 6, 2022, he reached the finals again, already in the next FNCS season, taking second place and earning $100,000 again. This result amounted to almost a third of all his prize money - 31.78% of the total fund.
