that’s fake. he was banned from an off-season tournament only a while ago when those comments came out. he decided to retire because BR tier 2 became a joke, it has nothing to do with the comments u guys are talking about
he is not banned from val its a exageration, he was banned from a tournament (kinda stupid if you ask me because the comments were said before valorant even existed and before he switched to val at all)
since he's retiring from tier 2, it makes sense, if you aren't tier 1 material, there's 0 reward to pursue this game
