The talent has taken breaks from the game before – even switching to an entirely different title – for various reasons, most recently missing out on LOCK//IN due to a recurring wrist injury. Patiphan released a statement on Twitter/X explaining that he had been experiencing a “decline in his passion for the game,” which ultimately led to his decision to step back from competitive play.
