It's time to hang up the mic and retire.

These last two years were easily the most difficult and frustrating of my career. Unfortunately Riot and I were unable to come to terms for 2026 and so it's time to step away.

VALORANT: Thank you. These have been some of the best years of my life. Thank you for the opportunities, the slow claps, the memories. Holding the mic was a privilege I never took and never will take for granted.

To those of you who sent kind words, engaged with my content, took a chance on me, tuned in for my casts: Thank you. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. I've made some dear friends that I hope to carry with me for life.

To upcoming talent, two pieces of advice: 1) Know your worth. Fight for your worth. 2) Be good to those around you. Resist the urge to step on people on your own journeys, it's not the only way.

What's next? I don't know. I would love to stay in games and esports. We'll see if those cards are dealt. I've also really enjoyed just creating content for myself. I'd like to continue doing that.

Thank you for the last 5y. It was an honor to share the history of this game with you all. For the last time, until next time <3
