American player Noah “Nifty” Francis, known for his appearances for Renegades and Team Envy, has announced the end of his career in esports. Nifty's last team was MIGHT. With Renegades, he won the StarLadder i-League Invitational #2 and won the title three times at the Asia Minor Championship, and with Envy he finished third at the Americas Minor Championship - Katowice 2019.
On his social media channels, Nifty shared a candid message about his departure. "In March I made the decision to retire from competition definitely. If I had never attempted to compete again I would've felt regret for years to come. It was valuable in many ways to try again. Through time my passions & interests have shifted to different areas of life.” he wrote.
Many will likely experience this change. Some that are still competing at Tier 1 of any Esport are already feeling this. In my opinion, it's best to step away if you no longer feel the passion/fire for the process. Otherwise you're doing your peers and yourself a disservice.
I'm infinitely grateful for all the knowledge, wisdom, fruitful experiences, and relationships competition within the realm of Esports has given me. Everything gained has already served me in ALL other areas of my life and will continue to. With a whole heart, I say thank you.Nifty
Nifty leaves the esports scene with a significant footprint and an impressive number of accomplishments behind him. His departure symbolizes the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
