Despite these early achievements, José left the team in December 2019 and went inactive until August 2020. That summer, he signed a trial contract with EGN & Friends, where he finished 1st-4th in the One Tap League Season 1: Stop #3 Open Qualifier.

In August 2023, José switched teams again, signing with For The Win Esports. With this roster, he became the champion at Aveiro Techdays Cup 2023, Circuito Retake Season 7: Take #2, and Master League Portugal Season 12: Online Stage. He later competed with several mix teams, winning more trophies.

In September 2024, he returned to GTZ.ESPORTS once again, helping the team secure victories in Master League Portugal Season 14, Circuito Retake Season 9: Take #3, and Master League Portugal Season 15. After this, he received an offer from SAW's main roster, officially joining in January 2025.
