Josh “jdm64” Marzano has announced his retirement from Counter-Strike esports<\/a> and declared his intention to launch a career in VALORANT.<\/p>\n

Former Team Liquid and Counter Logic Gaming AWPer made the call on his 30th birthday, saying he had decided to start a new chapter in his life and switch over to Riot Games’ upcoming tactical first-person shooter title.<\/p>\n

“Today I turn 30. Been playing CS for about 18 to 20 years now and I’ve decided it’s time for a new chapter,” said jdm64.<\/p>\n

“I’m making the switch to compete in VALORANT and am looking for a team\/org to represent.”<\/p>\n

Jdm64 began his Counter-Strike career during the era of CS: 1.6 and CS: Source, when he became a staple name in the North American competitive scene. His early years in the CS: GO scene included stints at mouseSpaz, NetcodeGuides.com and SapphireKelownaDotCom, where his performances earned him contract with Counter Logic Gaming in June 2015.<\/p>\n
