Jordan also bid farewell to all his former teammates and generally to the two disciplines, Valorant and CrossFire, in which he has competed throughout his professional career.
There was some time for reflection, and I decided to hang up the phone and leave competitive gaming. The last 10 years competing in Crossfire and Valorant have been an incredible journey, but it's time to finish. A few months ago, I had laser eye surgery, and unfortunately, it was a tough recovery with numerous complications. Recovery is slow, but it will improve over time. Nevertheless, I am eager to combine my education and professional experience to work in the gaming industry. Valorant reignited my passion for gaming and made me realize that this is what I should be doing at this stage of my career.
Jordan "AYRIN" He spent more than three years in Valorant. During this time, he was part of many teams, the most famous of which are XSET and Global Esports. With the American team, he managed to win victories at the NSG: Winter Championship and VCT 2022: North America Stage 2 Challengers. And as part of the Indian team, he only managed to secure the 8th place at VCT 2023: Pacific League.
For now, it is unknown when and how AYRIN plans to return to Valorant. But judging from his words, it can be assumed that the Canadian will complete his vision rehabilitation and then reappear on the Riot Games stage. Most likely, Jordan will be vying for a position as a content creator or streamer for any organization.
