This is bittersweet to write and feels a bit surreal, but I have decided to retire from professional play.
I'll never forget my first year in the LCS at Worlds when Dyrus decided to retire and announce it publicly on stage after we were knocked out. His decision shocked me because I saw him as one of the legends of League, and in my mind, I thought he would play for an eternity. Honestly, I don't think I really understood how he felt in that moment until now.
In my mind, I never really knew when I would retire, and at times, it felt like the answer was never. I wasn't sure how it would feel, but now I do.
I can't even begin to describe how lucky and fortunate I've been to be able to do what I love for a living. Being able to completely focus on one goal and do any and everything to achieve that goal is an incredible thing, especially with a team that is on the same page as you.
As a kid growing up, all I wanted to achieve once I got into gaming was to compete professionally. It was everything I dreamt of, nothing more, nothing less. I didn't even think about all the amazing people I would meet if I reached that goal, how many successes and struggles I may go through, all the incredible experiences, traveling around the world and, do what I do best, play video games.
But at the same time, you're also missing out on a lot of other things in life. I've spent the last 9 years away from my family, 8 years long distance away from my fiancé Kelsie and lost the opportunity to attend my grandfather's funeral.
I've hit a point in my life where I've started to value family and friendships a lot higher and I feel like I won't be able to perform to my absolute best without leaving those things behind, which I just can't do anymore.
I'm very happy with how my career turned out. Not only because I was able to win a couple of different tournaments and titles, which obviously I'm proud of, but because I was able to overcome a lot of hurdles in my life and in my career.
At times, it felt like I was at rock bottom and that there was no way out. Losing 5 relegation tournaments while winning 0 and feeling like maybe I just wasn't good enough. At times I had to battle health issues that were so severe that I thought I may never be able to compete again, but I got through it(with a lot of help of course - big thank you to Team Liquid and especially Bowen, I'll forever be grateful).
There are so many ways to describe success and while you're in the bubble of competition, it feels like winning is the only real 'success', but I've come to the realization that there's so much more to it.
Being able to get through all this is something that I can cherish so much more now. Knowing I'm a fighter and feeling like no matter what happens in my life, I'll get through it. And on the other side of the coin, I'm also just a super lucky guy. While focusing strictly on becoming the best professional version of myself, I still had a loving and supportive family and a fiancé that somehow stuck by my side while I barely had any time for her during the season.
This is something that means the world to me, and I can't wait to be able to finally spend a lot of time with them.
I've loved competing at the top level, and I'll always hold these memories very close to my heart. I'll for sure miss playing pro, but the future with the people I love has now become my main focus, and I couldn't be more excited for the next chapter of my life.
I hope you will all join me as I transition into streaming full time.
Thanks to all my former teammates and organizations for supporting me through this journey and allowing me to accomplish everything I did. And the biggest shoutout to all my fans who stuck with me through thick and thin, and I hope to see you on my streams again in the near future!
All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
(August 18, 2023) Jalisco, Mexico - 5 young men lured by fake job offer brutally murdered by Mexican drug cartel on camera.
The five young men who went missing in Mexico and were later shown on camera being brutally murdered by a Mexican drug cartel were lured to meet the gang with a fake job offer, according to a report.
The young men, all students and friends whose ages ranged between 19 and 22, who were duct-taped, beaten, stabbed and beheaded in a horrifically graphic video that made its rounds online this week, sought employment as private security, met a contact in town and were not seen again until the video surfaced, according to El Universal.
According to El Universal journalist Carlos Arrieta, the men were deceived into a meeting with the Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) cartel. They hoped to recruit the victims into their ranks and killed them after they refused.
The men were later identified by their relatives as Roberto Olmeda, Diego Lara, Uriel Galvan, Jaime Martinez and Dante Cedillo, El Pais reported.
El Universal reported the “strongest hypothesis” pointed to the young men contacting a call center to gain employment. Unbeknownst to the friends, the center is often “managed by the CJNG for [the] forced recruitment of people,” the outlet reported.
According to the report, these call centers offer high-paying jobs with attractive job benefits that are actually a hoax to trick young people into the CJNG, which then forcefully recruits applicants.
The Fiscalía del Estado de Jalisco — the Attorney General’s Office in the Mexican state of has yet to confirm the report and has not yet confirmed which of the two major drug cartels that vie for control over the La Orilla del Agua neighborhood in the town of Lagos de Moreno — the CJNG or the Sinaloa cartel — are responsible for the video and deaths.
On Wednesday afternoon, Mexican authorities located the property where the photo and video were allegedly filmed and found four burned and decapitated bodies.
A fifth body was found by police inside a burned-out car in a nearby area.
Photos shared by Jalisco prosecutors show brick and concrete buildings on a ranch, isolated by an open field. They also showed bloodstains on the floor, shoes scattered about and investigators examining the area.
“This makes one think the five youths were there at this ranch,” the state prosecutor’s office said in a statement Wednesday.
