The Valorant scene in China has only recently begun to develop, but even here, players are already ending their careers. One such player is Shi "AakRR" Yekai, who recently left the competitive Valorant scene.
Farewell to the Player
Representatives of his last team, TYLOO, announced this decision. In their official social media, they released a post regarding AakRR, where the organization stated that they are parting ways with the player due to his decision to retire from Valorant and wished him all the best.
Interestingly, AakRR himself has not announced his retirement, and there is no information about it on his official social media. It’s possible he entrusted this announcement to the organization, leaving fans without further details from him.
