In a Twitlonger message<\/a>, Jake explained that his decision to leave the Overwatch<\/em> League was a result of reevaluating his life goals. \u201cIn service of my own fulfillment and happiness…I know that I must step away from professional play for now,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIn giving everything to grind the game, I have forcibly stagnated my process of learning, growth, and exploration that I feel allowed me to reach this competitive level in the first place.”<\/p>
Jake joins a growing list of veteran players who have decided to pursue other goals within the competitive Overwatch<\/em> scene. New York Excelsior DPS Kim \u201cPine\u201d Do-hyeon retired yesterday<\/a>, opting to become a partnered streamer instead of participating in the 2020 Overwatch<\/em> League season. <\/p>
