After long consideration, I'll be retiring from playing multiplayer, this means no tournaments or competitive play.

I simply don't have the desire or passion to play in tournaments or even outside of them, as I've stopped enjoying the games ever since winning the tournament in 2024, and actually haven't played a single game before the 2025 tournament. More factors included such as finding other interests, whether it's in the marble blast game itself or outside of it, which have been far more enjoyable than playing multiplayer, after years of playing, the thought of going online and playing a few matches just hasn't been that exciting, the general excitement that has been from the first time playing all the way to my peak performances has completely vanished. At 20 years old, the energy isn't there as when I was 13 playing for the first time. Borderline it felt like a chore sometimes to play in the 2025 tournament, as I just wanted to get it out of the way, but then other factors disallowed me to continue playing the game for a while.

Can't really say I think I've done everything I've wanted to, as I wish I could've done more success-wise, which I definitely had the ability to, but I'm happy to at least have a title in my resume and making some multiplayer history, it's just a shame, because sometimes, things got out of the control and I had to back out at times against my will. That being
said, I just have to say that I don't have anything against the game on its own or the people, it's never that, I just don't feel like playing multiplayer again and again.

From this point, I'll have a different role in multiplayer, preferably an analyst or even a mentor for the players that come and go, as I still believe in what multiplayer can become in the future. The game is growing, the level is growing and we're seeing a lot of new breakout players coming out after putting in so much effort to get better, which is what it's all about, it's exciting when newcomers arrive and surprise the scene.

At last, I'd like to thank individuals for being either very helpful or just a part of the journey and having fun, that include people like MBOUltimate (thank you for teaching me the game), Jean, Eguy, Endy, Turk, Connie, Xedron & Frostfire (both specifically for showing me much higher levels of the game) and even the newer players like Wilchz, Bobirika, Mazik, ShadowVisions & more.

May marble blast multiplayer live and become greater than ever.

You're an incredible player with a well-deserved title under your belt, and undoubtedly one of the greatest the competitive hunt scene has ever seen. I hope you find as much excitement as you can in your other passions and restore your joy for hunt if you play casually again, and it's great that someone is demonstrating that there's no shame to be had in stepping away at (arguably) the peak of your powers. Looking forward to seeing you around.
