Kang Beom-hyeon, known as “GorillA,” is a 26-year-old South Korean League Of Legends player who had been playing for SANDBOX Gaming. Before that, he was playing for Misfits Gaming.

GorillA took his official Twitter account to share a new post and made a new statement about his future while announcing his retirement.

While GorillA was saying that this is the last time he is keeping in touch with his followers as a player, he also mentioned that he could return to the scene with a different role. Also, he stated that he wanted to invest his time for himself as a person instead of a player, and that’s why he made this decision.

Here is what GorillA said:

“The season has waned and the winter has come upon us, and I hope everyone who reads this stays healthy and well. As for me, I have been spending time for myself for the first time in seven-and-a-half years, the first time since I had first debuted as a professional gamer,

I carefully word myself as I have important news to share with you today.

As I have mentioned before — I’ve been spending time to myself these days, for the very first time since I had debuted as a professional player. As a player, I had always given it my all. However, I wonder if in that process I was negligent towards myself as a person — Myself as Kang Beom-Hyun.”

He added:

“Of course, as I walk away I will be leaving behind some goals I was never able to achieve as a professional gamer, and there are regrets that go with them. However, from this point onwards, I would like to invest my time not for myself as a player but for my future self. If you can support me on this decision, I could not ask for anything more.

This will be the final time I will be reaching out to you as a professional player. However, I will find you again, through other future opportunities.”
