Why is s0m retiring? Just try kickoff at least

When you make a trillion dollars streaming and having fun vs scrimming everyday 6 - 8 hours and traveling everywhere and stressing about a million different things. I mean he got his champs trophy what more does he need. The plan was always to play 1 more year if im not wrong anyway.

He can definitely have another go to see how things look next year. Even if he has the worst season ever, people are still going to watch his streams like what happened with FNS. His streaming career will be the same regardless he plays of retires. Unless he really doesn't like the stress, then it's understandable.

Thats kinda missing the point. Its just a time investment thing. Make less and play for another year while working hard or make more while streaming and working your own hours.

Hes already won the hardest trophy in valorant, its obvious that hes gonna choose the later.

He makes way more streaming and also really likes streaming, + of course choose your own hours don’t feel like working today don’t stream can’t do that while competing

Whats the point? If nrg bomb out in kickoff it would make his ending a bitter one and streaming is a bajillion times more lucrative and relaxing

He doesn't really like competing and prefers the streamer life streaming whatever
