Enable said on stream last night that this decision was important for his career. It\u2019s \u201ckind of a wake-up call,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>
He said that although competition is his main drive, he didn\u2019t put in as much time as he wanted. \u201cNot competing is going to kill me inside, but I did get off track for a bit and I wasn\u2019t putting in as much time as I need to be,” Enable said. “It kind of lit a fire underneath me.”\u00a0<\/p>

He reassured fans that he won’t retire for the rest of the year and that he could move to another team because he has received several offers from other organizations. \u201cThis is definitely not the end of me playing this year, at least I hope so, and in my mind it\u2019s not, I\u2019ve already had a couple of teams reach out to me,\u201d Enable said.\u00a0<\/p>
Although his future with the Seattle Surge remains unclear, he said he won’t make a decision regarding his possible departure until the conclusion of the next homestand in Los Angeles, which is hosted by the LA Guerillas and OpTic Gaming. The event will conclude on March 8, with the Dallas Home Series to follow later in the month.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
