In January 2025, he turned just 17, yet his high level of play has already caught the attention of both fans and analysts multiple times.
Kyosuke began his professional career in March 2024, making his debut at the 500 Casino League: March 2024 tournament with a $1,750 prize pool.

Lukin helped the team achieve strong placements in several tournaments, including 3rd–4th at Regional Clash Arena CIS and top 4 at both CCT Season 2 European Series #11 and #14 Play-In. His achievements also include silver medals at European Pro League Season 20: Division 2 and ESEA Season 50: Advanced Division – Europe, as well as gold at CCT Season 2 European Series #14 and #15 with Spirit Academy. A significant milestone was his 1st–2nd place finish at ESL Challenger League Season 48 Relegation: Europe.
In January 2025, kyosuke represented VK at the Evelone Duo Cup, where he and his partner secured silver medals. However, Spirit Academy still holds the rights to the player.
