"I've decided to retire from overwatch," he posted Wednesday on Twitter. "after taking a break just before gauntlet I realized my heart isn't in it anymore, the fire inside me that pushed me to grind and persevere has died. shoutout to everyone that was on a team I played for or against, you guys made it all worth and especially shoutout to fans that followed and supported me the last 5 years, really appreciated you all.
