Jake McDonald, known as “Kaboose,” is a 21-year-old American former CS:GO player who was lastly playing for Swole Patrol. In June 2020, he switched to Valorant with together we are a terrific roster.

After a month, Team Envy signed the roster, and they have been representing Team Envy since then. Throughout the year, they have become a strong mid-field team across North America as they were eliminated in the playoff most of the time.

Last month, Team Envy decided to bench Kaboose before the new season starts and loaned Jimmy “Marved” Nguyen from FaZe Clan. Now, Team Envy announced that they parted ways with Kaboose via Twitter.

Later on, Kaboose replied to the post and thanked Team Envy for their support. Then, Kaboose revealed that he decided to put his esports career on hold because he wanted to consider the other opportunities in life.

“Today we say farewell to one of the members of our OG VALORANT roster, kaboose,” Team Envy said goodbye to their long-time player. “Thank you so much for your time with us, we wish you nothing but the best!”

Kaboose wrote:
