Karma lays out conditions to return for CoD 2020 YouTube: HECZCall of Duty legend Damon \u2018Karma\u2019 Barlow has explained his steps following retirement, saying that coming back and playing is a \u201clast resort\u201d but that he still wants to have some ties to the CoD scene. On June 3, Karma shocked the Call of Duty competitive scene by announcing that he would be retiring after a glittering career. The three-time CoD world champion bid his goodbyes to the Seattle Surge and has moved into streaming. Since the switch, he\u2019s proceeded to run wild in Warzone and voiced his opinions on the current crop of Call of Duty League players as well as Modern Warfare. While his dislike of the current title is clear, some fans still want to see him return and light up the stage as he did for the likes of Fariko and OpTic Gaming. It appears, though, that he doesn\u2019t intend on doing so. During his second appearance on Hector \u2018HECZ\u2019 Rodriguez\u2019 Eavesdrop Podcast, the Canadian shed some light on his retirement and his next steps \u2013 including the possibility of returning with the launch of the next Black Ops games. \u201cRight now, like I\u2019ve said and I\u2019ve told my stream this, I\u2019m going to try streaming at least until the season is over,\u201d Karma said, noting that is all \u201cgoing pretty well so far.\u201d Though, he would still like to have some ties to competitive CoD moving forward. \u201cI definitely would be interested in coaching. Playing though, that\u2019s like a stretch. Theres too many variables,\u201d Barlow added. \u201cStreaming is definitely the number one priority and then streaming and possibly coaching because I do want to stay and have some ties to Call of Duty in some way, and I feel like it\u2019s a way I could be impactful.\u201d As for keeping those ties, Karma again added that coaching is a possibility but playing is pretty far down the list of things he wants to do. \u201cI would like to coach but playing, playing is like last resort \u2013 I don\u2019t know,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d have to be blown away and I\u2019d need a good f**king team to ask me to play but there\u2019s no way. I don\u2019t see any of that happening.\u201d The 26-year-old did also note that he\u2019ll play the next CoD release because he still loves the series but he also wants to play other games \u2013 which is what streaming allows him to do. So, if you\u2019re hoping to see Karma pick up the sticks for one last dance in the Call of Duty League, don\u2019t hold your breath: it seems as though he really is done for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
