THE END OF AN ERA…

After years of memories, competition, and unforgettable experiences, I have made the difficult decision to officially close Elite Warfare Gaming as a competitive esports organization.

This isn’t a decision I’ve made overnight, and it certainly isn’t an easy one.

For those who know me, you know how much Elite Warfare Gaming has meant to me over the years. What started as a passion for competitive Call of Duty became something much bigger than I could have ever imagined.

We’ve built teams, supported players, competed against incredible talent, experienced victories, endured setbacks, and created memories that I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

But as time goes on, people change. Priorities change. And sometimes, the things that once brought you the most excitement no longer hold the same place in your heart.

The truth is, I’ve grown away from competitive Call of Duty.

There have been so many incredible highs throughout this journey, but there have also been plenty of lows. And while I will always appreciate what this community has given me, I can no longer say that my heart is fully invested in this scene the way it once was.

For years, I’ve dedicated so much of my time, energy, and personal life to building something for others.

Now, for once, I need to put my personal life first.

I have a wife, a future, and a life outside of esports that deserves my time and attention. My biggest priority moving forward is building a bigger and better life for the two of us.

And I hope everyone can understand and respect that.

As for @ewgleague, I want to be completely transparent.

I made a promise to this community that I would give everyone one more year of leagues and LAN events, and I fully intend to honor that commitment.

We will continue working toward that goal through the Modern Warfare 4 competitive cycle.

However, beyond Modern Warfare 4, the future of EWG League and EWG LAN remains uncertain.

I don’t have all the answers right now, and I don’t want to make promises about the future that I may not be able to keep.

What I can promise is that I will do my best to make this remaining chapter something worth remembering.

To every player who has ever represented EWG, every coach, staff member, co-owner, partner, and supporter who has believed in our vision, thank you.

Whether you were here from the beginning or joined us along the way, you’ve all played a part in our story.

There are things I wish we could have accomplished, moments I wish we could relive, and decisions I wish I could have made differently. But through it all, I wouldn’t trade the relationships and memories we’ve created.

Elite Warfare Gaming has been a huge part of my life, and closing this chapter will always be bittersweet.

This isn’t how I once imagined our story ending, but sometimes growing as a person means knowing when it’s time to move forward.

Thank you for everything.

Once Elite, Always Elite.

LA Thieves multiple major wins say it all. OpTic Texas with great consistency, but seconds don’t beat chips.
Gentlemates they’ve been competitive all year but haven’t closed since Major 1. FaZe still solid, but for their usual dominance, it’s been a lackluster season.

@xTbKEsportsTeam @PWRNationOrg @xTbKelite Accountability is so hard😂 you’re still yapping stfu

[Inside the Match @InsideTheMatch]

@VirtTBE @xTbKEsportsTeam If someone is willing to cheat in one game, it raises valid concerns about their integrity in others.

Using the state of a game as justification doesn’t hold much weight especially when many competitive titles, including Call of Duty, have their own issues.
cheating is cheating.

I could be wrong but I don’t think he is retiring. I think it has something to do with a promotion. I think the narrative of him retiring is to make everyone look anxious of the the news drop.
