Final Goodbye.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I think it’s finally time. I know I’ve “retired” in the past, but this will be the last time.

I’m officially done competing full-time in COD. With so many life responsibilities coming up, including my son being born soon, it’s time for me to step away and focus on what’s ahead.

I have some regrets about how I went about my “career” while competing, but at the same time, I have absolutely zero regrets about the experiences I’ve had. Throughout my time competing, there have been an insane amount of hardships and challenges, and I’m genuinely glad that most of the new up-and-comers don’t have to go through the same things. The scene has changed for the better for this new generation of gamers, and I love seeing it.

There have also been an insane amount of surreal moments, unforgettable victories, and memories made alongside some of my greatest friends. One of those people is FreakOTM, who has been by my side since the beginning, even when my ego was unreal and completely unnecessary. Even with two of my rivals, Delo and Conwa, I’ve shared some incredible times at LAN events. All the memories with my friends and family are something I wouldn’t trade for anything.

I wish everyone who’s competing and trying to make it to the pro scene the absolute best of luck.

I’ll still be attending some locals, such as CBUS, and some of the LANs that Cheetowunga hosts, but competing full-time will no longer be a part of my future.

Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support throughout the years. It genuinely means more than you know.

Kexrat out. 🫶🏻
