“With that being said, I’m extremely excited to step outside of my comfort zone and pursue other opportunities in the esports industry!”

Faccento’s retirement puts and end to a playing career that spanned over seven years and included 11 teams. His first and only major tournament victory came at the CWL Las Vegas Open event in 2017, when was a member of Rise Nation.
