[jwplayer qYU9URvL] In a year that\u2019s already had Call of Duty legends such as Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow and Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan call it quits, the competitive scene now sees another one of its biggest names hang up the sticks. Enable announced his retirement on November 11 via an emotional YouTube video; \u201cIt\u2019s the right time, it\u2019s the right move. I\u2019m retiring from professional Call of Duty.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve been thinking about for a while. When you\u2019ve been doing something for as long as I have, you got to know when it\u2019s time to start something new, to refresh yourself, refresh your mind, because this is all I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d Despite retiring from the traditional competitive CoD scene, Enable isn\u2019t going anywhere and has instead announced that the next step of his career will be playing Warzone, Call of Duty\u2019s popular Battle Royale variant, as well as a \u201cgreat\u201d opportunity that he will speak about at a later date. \u201cI definitely will be competing, just not in another game,\u201d he said. \u201cNext year, along with the opportunity I\u2019m going to take, I plan on competing in Warzone. I want to give it a shot, it\u2019ll be something I\u2019ll be able to take seriously, I\u2019ll be able to compete \u2013 have some sort of competition, which is what I need. I\u2019m definitely not fully gone but it won\u2019t be what you guys are used to.\u201d Read More: Huntsmen rebrand as OpTic Chicago in the CDL – As for whether he\u2019ll ever return to pro-CoD, the 26-year-old isn\u2019t ready to completely close that chapter yet: \u201cI don\u2019t want to say there\u2019s no chance; at this point in time, I think I\u2019m done for good but I won\u2019t say there\u2019s a 0% chance. If the opportunity is right and it makes sense, then I will come back and compete.\u201d Enable made his professional gaming debut in 2006 and would spend the first several years of his career as a Halo pro, competing for teams like Dynasty and Status Quo. Enable competed for several tops teams during his 7-year career, including FaZe, 100 Thieves, Team Kaliber, and even OpTic Gaming. pic.twitter.com\/ZgqvHDrhqd \u2014 DEXERTO Call of Duty (@DexertoIntel) November 11, 2020 He made his transition to Call of Duty in late 2013, and in the seven years that followed, Enable featured for some prominent teams, including FaZe Clan, 100 Thieves, Team Kaliber, Evil Geniuses, and even OpTic Gaming, to whom he was loaned out to for a couple of European tournaments. After CoD esports\u2019 switch to franchising and the CDL in 2019, he was picked up by the Seattle Surge but ultimately got demoted to the bench after a slow start to the season. Prior to his announcement, it was rumored that 100 Thieves were considering Enable for their vacant fourth starter position, but he shut that down shortly after LA Thieves was announced. His accolades include eight major tournament victories, back-to-back second-place finishes at the CoD World League Championships in 2018 and 2019, and a third-place finish at the 2015 Champs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
