The 23-year-old previously played for 21 Huntsmen before their roster was acquired by RSG, now rebranded as Yodoo RSG. Ranger led the team to victory in the 2021 MYSG Championship and recently placed top 10 at the 2021 CODM World Championship Grand Finals—a solid showing that made his exit all the more surprising.
He shared the news on his official social channels: "As MYSG Invitational is finished and that's my final competitive appearance. I will be stepping away from Competitive CODM and will start my journey on pursuing my path to be a professional PUBGM player."
He elaborated on his reasons: "One of the main reasons why I quit is also due to the lack of attention from the developer. I just don't find time and worth to grind the game anymore. I wanna thank everyone who kept on supporting my journey since the start of CODM."
Ranger expressed gratitude to fans and teammates for their support throughout his career, noting how tough it was to leave a game that's defined so much of his life. As he eyes a pro spot in PUBG Mobile esports, esports organizations will be watching closely.
