100 Thieves captain Spencer “Hiko” Martin has officially announced his retirement from professional Valorant after a 14-year career. He has been a crucial part of the organization since its inception but has decided to take a step back and relieve himself of all the pressure of competing.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made through a video uploaded by the 100 Thieves official page on Twitter. In the six-minute video, they compiled his journey so far with the team, his official announcement, and what he plans to do next.<\/p>\n

“Hey guys, it’s Hiko here, and today, I am announcing my retirement from professional Valorant.”<\/p>\n

“When I first started playing Valorant<\/a>, I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to remain a streamer or actually go pro in Valorant and try to play competitive Valorant. When I did make the decision that I wanted to though, there were a lot of organizations that had reached out to me to possibly make a team for them. And, it seems like pretty much since Day 1, my vision aligned with 100 Thieves.”<\/p>\n
