[12] At the World championship, Misfits advanced past the groupstage, and met SK Telecom T1, the tournament favorites in the quarterfinals. [13] Despite being heavy underdogs, Misfits took SKT to all the way to five games, in a very competitive series before falling. [14] [15]

[20] In summer however, the team made strides, and finished third in the regular season, and third in playoffs, allowing them once last chance in the regional gauntlet to qualify for Worlds. [21] [22] However the team was defeated 3–2 by Clutch Gaming and Schrage once again did not attend the World Championship. [23] [24]

FlyQuest

In 2020, Schrage moved teams once again, this time to FlyQuest. [25] In the spring split, Schrage made it to his fourth domestic finals appearance, and the first since 2017, however once there, FlyQuest was swept 3–0 by Cloud9, and the team finished in second. [26] In summer, Schrage took another second flash finish, this time losing the finals to Team SoloMid, [27] however they still qualified for the 2020 World Championship. [28] At Worlds, FlyQuest was eliminated in the group stage, after finishing third in their group with a 3–3 record. [29]

Team SoloMid

For the 2021 season, Schrage was signed by Team SoloMid, replacing their long time star, Bjergsen.
