I think this is a good time to say this... People close to me know how motivated i was to play at the start of the season however since early November ish things in my life have become super hectic. Ive not really played the game and focused on coaching Brad only because of time restrictions. Ive not lost my love for esports or anything its just times are changing for me personally and I'm now expecting another baby this time a boy (So project James Madders is being prepared). 😍 Im not saying this just cus I lost but genuinely because Brad made it to eprem there was a high chance I was going to coach anyway because im all in or all out and idk if anyones had a kid before they will understand maybe that I feel SO guilty when im sat scrimming etc and my missus is making dinners cleaning house etc when she's pregnant and it only gets worse later on in pregnancy. Last time i had a child I put playing on hold and just coached last year was going to coach eprem but unfortunately my donkey player brad played his qualifier with his feet 😂 so i thought id play mine and somehow won with 0 practise. Now my daughter is getting older shes abit more independent so i was able to play without to much stress on my wife. However life happens quickly and lets face it my pull out game is weak af 😂😭 so things have changed. This isn't goodbye forever as I will be coaching but I am at an age now where retirement is definitely a possibility and put all my focus into coaching. I don't wanna be that guy who says they retire then plays every qualification and spends 1000s on packs. So i need some time but its a very realistic option. I just wanna say thanks for everything over the years unfortunately never won a major trophy but we did get a t4 and a t8 at a LAN event which will always feel decent to me personally. But my support has always been way overjust tbh for the player i am i have been super lucky with that and super lucky for the connections ive made and friendships. Also thanks for the opportunities from so many people but id like to shoutout a few which have allowed me to do what i enjoy and gave me a platform to do so @CBottomley_ @Joe__Millbank @Demise_Ollie @Demise_Andy And thanks to the teams that gave me a chance to rep them: @Envy @DemiseGG @SNG_Esports @eburnleyfc @SAF_gg Thanks for everything, onto the next chapter for now a family of 4 👨👩👧👦😍 Love ❤️
