Discussion: FalleN says retirement will mean family time and a new life beyond CS2

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

The Brazilian veteran spoke in Beijing about life after Counter-Strike, the uncertainty around his next role, and returning to the city where his international career began.

Read the full story. What do you think?

the family stuff is the real headline for me. you can tell he is not chasing a coach chair or desk job just because it's the usual retirement path, he actually wants out of the circuit rhythm for a bit

[Ghost50]

yeah and that is fair tbh. if your whole adult life has been travel, scrims and events, wanting boring normal days is not weird at all. the fishing and piano part just makes it sound like he is trying to build an actual life, not just a new esports role

the mandarin bit is the one i found interesting. if he keeps any tie to China or an org there, that is a smart move, but learning language after this long in CS is a lot more serious than people think

[Paladin77]

true, and it also says a lot about how much he has seen the scene change. from cyber cafés and demos to this level of prep, then maybe retiring into language lessons instead of another bootcamp… wild timeline

[rune]

better than grinding another pointless season just to say you did it
