“Today is a sad but also happy day for me. I am going to announce my retirement from the game that I’ve dedicated my entire life around. It’s sad because I’ll be not able to go out and play the game I love anymore. But it’s also a very happy time that I get to be around the family and take the next chapter in life.”
