After failing at The Shanghai Major 2016, the organization completely disbanded the roster and Fenrir moved to EHOME, with whom he finished 5th-6th at The International 2016. In the 2016-2017 season Fenrir played for VGJ.Thunder, where his biggest achievement was 5-8th position at The Kiev Major 2017.

The team constantly took the last places at majors, and failing to qualify for several major tournaments in a row motivated Fenrir to leave to finish the season in Newbee. The team failed to qualify for The International 2019, but Lou's last tournament as a member of Newbee saw success as he won the 2019 World Cyber Games. His last team as a player was Royal Never Give Up, where Fenrir failed to achieve significant results in 5 months. In April 2020, he ended his career as a pro player.
