Its time to chill abit and live life just the way i want to :) I will still play dota and follow everything, i just need some break from all the traveling and stress of playing.- Leon November 6, 2023 However, the last 2 years were the most stressful of my life, and I cant continue like i did. Despite his success, he recently noted that he had been under a lot of stress, and he couldn’t deal with it anymore. Nine has been a part of Tundra Esports for the last three years and has achieved tremendous success as a professional player with the team. I have fulfilled my dream with friends i hold dear, and experienced things i will never forget.- Leon November 6, 2023
