SoOn retiring from Overwatch – Why?

He’s competed in Overwatch for about 5 years, and has been under numerous roster and organisations. Most notably: Misfits, Los Angeles Valiant, Paris Eternal, and most recently, Boston Uprising. He’s been a part of the competitive side of Overwatch since the beginning, and has had some excellent performances in his career.

- 1st at Overwatch Open – 30th September 2016 – $100,000
What’s next?

Despite his necessary time away from the game, he is still eager to compete and involve himself with Esports, and has revealed that his next move forward is VALORANT. He has shown full confidence in the switch, but as he states, he does not know what he’s getting into, nor what the future holds.
