One of the greatest casters in CS:GO<\/em> announced his retirement today in an interview with DBLTAP<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

British commentator Henry “HenryG” Greer is beloved by the CS:GO<\/em> community for his entertaining and witty casting style alongside many different partners throughout his tenure. But he revealed earlier today that he’s retiring from esports commentary.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThis has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make and it is one that I don\u2019t take lightly,\u201d he told DBLTAP. \u201cThis has been my entire life for close to a decade and I can assure you that I didn\u2019t want it to go down like this.”<\/p>

This doesn\u2019t mean that HenryG is leaving CS:GO<\/em> altogether, however. Later in the interview, he teased his next move, which is set to be revealed next week. \u201cOn the 7th of September – you\u2019ll see that I\u2019m not kidding when I say that my next move is going to be a colossal one for the CS:GO<\/em> community,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>

The commentator went into detail regarding his personal struggle with casting. It didn\u2019t make him \u201chappy\u201d anymore and he felt \u201cjaded.\u201d Most notably, the ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19 brought events to a grinding halt, meaning HenryG could no longer cast in front of a crowd.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cArenas and stadiums are where I always wanted to be,” HenryG said. “I never wanted to be in a studio or sat at home commentating online CS<\/em>. It just doesn\u2019t appeal to me.”\u00a0<\/p>

HenryG and Matthew “Sadokist” Trivett were arguably the most iconic duo in CS:GO<\/em>\u2019s casting history. But recently, HenryG commentated alongside Alex \u201cMACHINE\u201d Richardson, with the two pairing up at the StarLadder Berlin Major and other major events.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

retirement today in an interview with DBLTAP.\u00a0 British commentator Henry \"HenryG\" Greer is beloved by the CS:GO community for his entertaining and witty casting style alongside many different partners throughout his tenure. But he revealed earlier today that he's retiring from esports commentary.\u00a0 \u201cThis has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make and it is one that I don\u2019t take lightly,\u201d he told DBLTAP. \u201cThis has been my entire life for close to a decade and I can assure you that I didn\u2019t want it to go down like this.\" This doesn\u2019t mean that HenryG is leaving CS:GO altogether, however. Later in the interview, he teased his next move, which is set to be revealed next week. \u201cOn the 7th of September - you\u2019ll see that I\u2019m not kidding when I say that my next move is going to be a colossal one for the CS:GO community,\u201d he said.\u00a0 The commentator went into detail regarding his personal struggle with casting. It didn\u2019t make him \u201chappy\u201d anymore and he felt \u201cjaded.\u201d Most notably, the ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19 brought events to a grinding halt, meaning HenryG could no longer cast in front of a crowd.\u00a0 \u201cArenas and stadiums are where I always wanted to be,\" HenryG said. \"I never wanted to be in a studio or sat at home commentating online CS. It just doesn\u2019t appeal to me.\"\u00a0 HenryG and Matthew \"Sadokist\" Trivett were arguably the most iconic duo in CS:GO\u2019s casting history. But recently, HenryG commentated alongside Alex \u201cMACHINE\u201d Richardson, with the two pairing up at the StarLadder Berlin Major and other major events.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299415"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1750"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299415"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":299424,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299415\/revisions\/299424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299415"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=299415"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=299415"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=299415"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=299415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
