Today, I’m announcing that I’ve decided to leave NIP.
I joined NIP about four years ago, and about two years into my time here, someone had to step up and lead NIP’s esports department through a tough period, a challenge I took upon myself. There were a lot of risks for me, as I knew it would be an uphill struggle from the start with the community's perception of “NIP management”. But I accepted the challenge - I had a chance to make a difference from the inside.
I lived and breathed NIP for the past years, always prioritizing my staff and players, their needs, and their challenges. I wanted to make people excited for NIP again, I wanted to bring back the NIP legends, and I wanted us to be more communicative so people could follow the journey. I wanted so much, and it makes me extremely happy to see that the community is starting to see it, based on the recent positive momentum.
But while I lived and breathed NIP and wanted so much, life outside was still ongoing. During the past year, I slowly lost an important person in my immediate family, and I wasn’t there for them; I was completely absorbed in NIP. It’s time for me to take care of my private life and family for a while. With that being said, I’m heartbroken to leave NIP. I’m leaving not because I want to, but because I need to.
People have asked me why I would go through all this hard work to quit before I can reap the fruits of my work. It’s true that when you look in the NIP history books, you won’t see any big trophies during my time here. But I’m filled with pride and joy when I think about what the people who worked with me will say about my role in NIP esports history. It’s a great feeling as a leader and a human being, knowing you gave everything you could for everyone around you. The foundation is laid, and if NIP esports is allowed to continue according to plan, we will have many great NIP memories ahead of us.
The plan now is to spend time with my friends and family over the summer, and then we’ll see what’s next for me. Maybe I stay in esports, maybe I don’t, time will tell.
This has been more than a job, it has been an honor. To all NIP fans and everyone else out there, take care, life is short. ❤️
