On October 8, Talon Esports officially announced the termination of contracts with Valorant player Patiphan and coach b0i.
Patiphan, who is currently 20 years old, announced an indefinite suspension of his career last year and had been on the bench for about nine months. He began his esports career in 2018 by joining the Overwatch scene and transitioned to Valorant in 2020. Throughout his career, he has played for Thai teams such as MiTH, FULL SENSE, and X10, and in 2021 he became the first representative from Southeast Asia to secure 8th place at the VALORANT Champions 2021 tournament.
In December 2023, he announced his indefinite career suspension, citing a decline in motivation:
I found it hard to even log into the game and play, and I am constantly struggling with myself. If this continues, I will be a burden to my teammates.
This is where the story ends. @itsPatiphan from fearless plays to unforgettable moments - your legacy will always shine.@AaronnFtw you’ve been a rock for the squad. We wish you all the best in your next adventure!
