Parker: “There might be an announcement about my departure from Dota. I hope you’ll understand.”

Following the conclusion of the South American qualifiers for the year’s major tournaments, David “Parker” Nicho Flores hinted at the possibility of retiring from Dota. He spoke about this during a stream.
Let things take their course and speak for themselves. I just tried to give it my all. I’m leaving. I can’t go any further. Take care of yourselves, and I apologize.
There may be an official announcement about my retirement from Dota. I hope you’ll understand me. I really love you all very much; thank you, everyone. <...>
Parker competed for Estar Backs in the qualifiers for the 2026 Esports World Cup and The International 2026. The team finished in 2nd and 5th–6th place, respectively. In late 2024, David won PGL Wallachia Season 2 as a member of HEROIC.
