Hello, everyone. Today I want to share an important decision with you.
I am officially ending my career as a professional player. The time I spent on the pro scene and as part of BET-M 33 has been amazing. It’s been a long journey, full of spectacular victories, grueling training sessions, and unforgettable moments. I’m truly grateful to my team, the organization, and, of course, every fan for your support. None of this would have been possible without you.
My gaming mouse is going on the shelf, but I’m not leaving esports. I’m starting a new chapter. I feel strong and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge that I’m ready to share. That’s why I’m completely open to offers to work as a coach or as part of a match commentary team.
Thank you to everyone who has been and continues to be with me. See you soon in my new role!
