In the summer of 2013, Stevepander got in contact with Hildreth. After reviewing some demos together and speaking briefly, Hildreth decided Stevepander would be a good potential fit for his new HL project. The team was originally supposed to include [[sad panda]], though that partnership ultimately failed. Stevepander and Hildreth continued to try and complete the roster, which resulted in the creation of Highpander.

Stevepander made an appearance at [[DeutschLAN 2015]], playing for [[LANpander]], Stevepander and [[Hildreth]] coming from the [[Highpander]] roster. The team did well in the group stage, winning 7 games and losing just one, but lost out in the playoff match to end up finishing in 3rd place.

After DeutschLAN, Stevepander decided it was time to move from Highpander, and was invited to join [[Strong Opinions]] by [[CeeJaey]]. S-O went on to do well in their Premiership debut season on the back of some strong performances from Steve, and finished in 2nd place in the regular season. They beat Steve's old team in the Semi-Finals, and went on to defeat defending champions [[Tourettes Chessclub]] in the final, for Steve's 2nd Premiership winner's medal. They would go on to repeat the feat in Season 10, this time defeating [[Fair Enough]] in the Grand Final, for Steve to make it a hat-trick of Premiership titles. After that saw a period of dominance; [[UGC Platinum Season 20]] & [[DeutschLAN 2016]] were won without dropping a round, and an undefeated run in ETF2L Season 11 saw Steve win his 4th Premiership title, a record.

After Season 5, ETF2L began hosting an award show. Since then, Steve has won 'Pyro of the Season' every time, a total of 8 awards making him the highest awarded Highlander player of all time at the time of his retirement after Season 12. The Season 14 awards saw his record surpassed by his teammate CeeJay. Steve's level of dominance of a class has not come close to being matched by any other player in these awards. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFgmbH0lRO4&t=1446 ETF2L Highlander Season 5 Awards Show]</ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2014/06/12/highlander-season-6-powered-by-tt-esports-wrap-up/ ETF2L Highlander Season 6 Wrap Up]</ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2015/02/02/etf2l-highlander-season-7-powered-by-tt-esports-wrap-up-and-awards/ ETF2L Highlander Season 7 Wrap Up]</ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2015/06/27/highlander-season-8-powered-by-tt-esports-wrap-up-staff-changes/ ETF2L Highlander Season 8 Wrap Up] </ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2016/02/06/highlander-season-9-powered-by-marketplace-tf-wrap-up/ ETF2L Highlander Season 9 Wrap Up] </ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2016/07/02/highlander-season-10-powered-by-tt-esports-wrap-up/ ETF2L Highlander Season 10 Wrap Up]</ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2017/02/25/highlander-s11-wrap-up/ ETF2L Highlander Season 11 Wrap Up] </ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/2017/06/04/highlander-season-12-wrap-up/ ETF2L Highlander Season 12 Wrap Up]</ref><ref>[http://etf2l.org/etf2l/award-history/ Total Award List] </ref>

Stevepander is known as one of the most aggressive Pyros. He often claims that just being a pocket Pyro, focused on protecting the Medic and combo, is a flawed play style that doesn't allow for unlocking the Pyro's full potential.

Instead, Steve often opts to go for small, short flanking bursts where he tries to engage in fights with his team mates. This allows his team to quickly overwhelm the enemy's flank. Steve stays with the combo only when it's useful, for example when there's about to be an über exchange, or the team has an über advantage and they're expecting suicide waves.

Stevepander pretty exclusively uses Degreaser, Shotgun and Powerjack as his loadout. This is mostly due to personal preference. In regards to secondary weapons, the main benefit he will argue is that Shotgun allows for greater flexibility in medium range fights, while also allowing for a respectable enough amount of short range burst. <ref>[https://youtu.be/j1qh_R995nk?t=323/ Video on Steve's loadout] </ref>
