Retiring From Competitive Gaming.

---

(For quick summary go to bottom) For years I have wished to become a "professional" gamer and dropped so many things in life to try and achieve this. Not only in Rocket League but CSGO and Halo but as time keeps going the more of my life I am wasting. The reason why I am retiring from playing gaming competitively is due to needing to focus more on school for this year and then end up going into college next year to try my hardest to make the best future possible for myself and my family.

I also have brought to realization having a video game addiction where all I would do is put almost 100 hour weeks in and not focus on school, hanging out with friend or family, never leaving my house, also facing depression where I would just want to sit in bed all day and never get up and eat really bad food for my health.

I ended up achieving one of my goals during my competitive run which was going to a LAN and playing on stage, which I never thought I would ever do in my life! My team may not have placed well but it was still a fun experience overall and would like to thank @LjRH__ and @Koho_RL for making that possible. I will be playing games casually and for fun but will be putting in less hours and taking a few months break from playing at all to focus on my schooling and life experiences.

To summarize this up I will be quitting competitive gaming and taking a few months break from playing at all to focus on school and to get rid of my gaming addiction which will be hard to get away from. (I am not writing this for sympathy reasons or writing this and coming back in a week this is my final decision and is not because anyone made me "quit" just my decision for getting my life back on track)

I also would like to thank all of the people that was with me during my career!
