ENG Today i would like to announce that i’ve decided to step down from active roster and retire as a player, well i don’t know where to start and how to end my writting because there are lots of words to say in my mind :) So first of all i’ve been played for 8 years straight from CSGO and VALORANT and i gave all of my passion and love to these two and got a lot of memories and happiness with everything happened during my time. But recently i also realised my mental and body health is not like before when i started even though with the help of org i could get to talk sports psychologist for help, felt it went so deep already now to go back to recover and i’ve been recently started to have stacked stress. It’s not like usual of me since i have low energy compare to before so i thought i couldn't help the team with the circumstances. So to take care my self about my health and self development for me i contemplated to step down my self from the roster and mutually talked with team to come up with this result, i appreciate to the org understanding about my situation <3 And most importantly, other than my health as a Korean i have to go serving for National Military Service that’s why i’ve concluded to make decision at this point. Hoping that i can comeback with refreshed mindset and energy and passion. when i think i'm ready i'm willing to comeback and see you guys again !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE U I would like to give huge respect&thanks to everyone who supported me when i first came in the NA league. And it was priceless warm hearted support for me from the all of the fans very beginning when i came in the States and i can confidently say it made better version of me now also as a player. It will be something i can’t never forget in my life for sure. Also thank u so much for the taking care of me and helping and pushed me to be better player it was pure joy to be a teammate with you donkeys @mitchfps @leaf_cs @Xeppaaa @Vanityxz @poizFPS @floppyCSGO @JamezIRL and others ! And last of all thank you for trusting me and helped me to make this life memories @Cloud9 @JackEtienne 🙏 한국어 안녕하세요, xeta입니다. 오늘 저는 여러분께 선수로서 은퇴발표를 하고 알려드리기 위해서 글을 적어봅니다. 어디서부터 글을 시작해야할지 모르겠고, 모든걸 알려주고 싶은데 그러면 글이 끝나지 않을 것 같아서 두서없이 생각나는데로 적겠습니다 !! 우선 8년 동안 CSGO부터 VALORANT 이스포츠를 하면서, 쉬지 않고 계속 달려왔었는데, 어느 순간부터 몸과 마음이 지쳐있어 에너지가 적어지고 있는 것을 느끼고 알기 시작했지만 게임에 대한 열정과 사랑으로 그리고 팬분들의 응원 덕분에 힘듦을 억누르고 여태까지 잘 달려올수 있었던것 같아요. 그랬기 때문에 정말로 제 인생에서 중요한 경험도 해보고 소중한 팬,선수동료들도 만나서 제가 프로 생활을 재밌고 행복하게 할 수 있게끔 버팀목이 되어 줘 여태까지 더 오래 할 수 있었습니다. 지금 당장은 에너지가 옛날에 비해서 적기 때문에 제가 선수 커리어를 더 이어나가고 싶다고 이어간다고 해서 팀에 아주 긍정적인 헌신과 결과를 만들어 내는건 어렵다고 생각했습니다. 이제는 이를 잠시 뒤로하고 선수가 아닌 저 스스로를 돌보기 위해 휴식기를 가질 생각이고 또한 한국인으로서 마땅히 다해야할 군대 의무도 남아있기 때문에 미래에 더 나은 사람으로 성장하고 돌아오기 위해서 지금은 은퇴를 하고 재충전을 한후 다시 응원해주시는 팬분들께 좋은 모습으로 돌아올수 있기를 바라며 떠나려고 합니다 ! 무엇보다 한국에서 팬분들께 무수히 많은 과분한 사랑을 받은 것 같아서 정말 감사하고, 잊지 못할 기억으로 남은 것 같습니다. 너무너무 감사합니다 팬미팅때마다 나와주셔서 선물 챙겨주시던 팬들, 응원편지 써주셨던 분들 참 경험해보지 못했던 뜻 깊은 선물이였습니다. 고맙습니다 ! 마지막으로 여태까지 선수 생활을 하며 만날수 있는 최고의 매니저들 그리고 선수들과 함께 일하며 다사다난 했던 경험을 할 수 있어서 너무 행복했습니다. 감사했습니다 ! @T1 @JoeMar

2-0 @EvilGeniuses , it was my last game on Cloud9 and we played with great vibes iike nothing but happiest people in the life. Feels like graduating high school LOL

I'd like to announce i'm going to be transferred to T1 and start new career. It was honored to be playing with such a good teammates and staff to work. And i want to say thank you for the taking care of me so well It's been nothing but happiest moment of my life. Till again !

Made to playoffs by winning 1-2 against @VisionStrikers was bit off for me but my teammates were insane. They won for me and i will focus on next match against @TeamLiquid let's go. Imagine if Lakia played 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It was super excited to see @zetadivision fight really well and made top3. I'm happy my old region players making an huge impact on big tourney. And also most importantly NA made to finals ! Seems like jinx wasn't happening today 😅

Seems like Pacific has no dedicated bald player. Player who has shortest hair i see so far was Mako wonder why he is so good Should i get bald before he will be totally bald ? 🤭 @Demon1___ @Derke

Huge congrats to @ZE1SHH Could see how badly you want to prove and have passion on that from KCX3 I missed watching today match but can’t wait to see KC playing in Madrid 🥹

0-3 against @TheGuard they deserved to win today. I'm so sad that we lose like this after great came back from lower bracket run. We will def be back stronger. GGs to everyone. @minon501 수고했어 ! C u in the next season

🥰🥰🥰 I'm so happy to rejoin

I ended up being jinx 🫠

Fix the Sova drone bug thank u @riotgames @PlayVALORANT

2-1 @zetadivision even though we secured first map and third map with round difference high. Second map Lotus was really stressful. They played super good and kept their mental great despite we having huge lead. I respect @lazvell and squad too much. It was pleasure to play ! 🫶

Window increased for awarding assists on flashes/nearsights/concusses from 1s -> 3s This mean Breach players finally can get plenty of assists to secure their job ?

Lost to @Sentinels 3-0 , we are going to prepare for Challengers Finals to qualify for Iceland :D see u there !

2-0 against @XSET next one is @100Thieves lessgo ~

Every single EMEA classic skin looks so good personally especially KC Pacific T1 , America C9 non biased 🤓

GG 2-0 vs @NRGgg nothing much to say just 1leaf

haven't grinded ranked this much compare to past act tbh i was doubting on playing ranked but every time when i play rank even tho it's tough some time because of no comms people. i'm learning daily basis :) i will be the best version of myself on next act to #1 <3 to my duos.

2-1 @EDG_Edward It was great series but we need to fix more of our stuff and be composured. Crowd was amazing and gave us lots of energy ! So be it #XETAWIN 🥹

Sad lost 0-2 @FUTesportsgg It’s our end for this year. I hope next year gonna be our year. We will bounce back Thank u for the support and gl for rest of teams
