Retirement Announcement
With the conclusion of this RLCS season, I’ve made the decision to retire from competitive Rocket League and move forward into the next chapter of my life.
I started playing Rocket League back in 2015, when I was 14 years old. At the time, I was struggling with burnout in my personal life and felt completely lost. Finding this game gave me something to be passionate about again, and it became a major part of my life.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with countless people from around the world through this game. I’ve traveled to many different countries, gained life-changing experiences, and I can actually speak English now. More than that, the experiences I had and the people I met deeply influenced my values and how I see life.
After graduating from high school, I faced a difficult decision between continuing my education or pursuing a professional career in Rocket League. Looking back now, I can say with complete confidence that I made the right decision. This journey has brought me so much joy and happiness.
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my family. I’m also incredibly grateful to all the fans who have supported me and cheered me on over the years, my teammates who played alongside me, organizations that provided support, the rivals who pushed me to grow, and everyone who has ever been a part of the Rocket League community. I truly couldn’t have come this far alone, and I’m deeply thankful to each and every one of you.
The things I’ve learned through Rocket League go far beyond the game itself, they’ve helped me grow as a person as well. I truly believe that these experiences will be a great asset in the next chapter of my life.
Thank you so much for everything. I hope you’ll continue to support me in the future as well.
Well guys, this is it. I have officially retired from professional Rocket League.
I will make a video soon with the reasons why, some of which are obvious and some of which are a bit more personal. But for now, I just want to say thank you. This experience has been one of a lifetime, one that I will forever be grateful for and cherish. It's been almost a decade now since this journey began, and it has gone by so fast. From day one, I just wanted to appreciate it and not take it for granted, and looking back I am very proud. I have made so many memories from this game. Some of hardship and failure, and some of overcoming what I felt was impossible. All the friendships and relationships I have made, places I have had the privilege of going to, and it's all because of Rocket League. I am eternally grateful I stumbled upon this game and community, and I hope I was able to impact it even a fraction of how much it has impacted me.
I won't be going too far, as I will still be making content around the game, but it is certainly the end of a huge chapter of my life, one that is bittersweet to close. To all my teammates, and those who supported me through all this, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

@ChilledChaos@SylveeVT Don't worry - I looked up the account and it's a troll account pretending to be offended because they disagree with the person they replied to. Nobody actually considers it any kind of slur
