This is not the first competitive retirement in CS: GO this year. In February, Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans retired as well, citing personal problems and a lack of motivation. This has prompted many known figures to comment that CS: GO might be a dying game. Especially after Valorant entered the competitive scene this year.
