French organisation TrainHard Esports announced it was “closing its doors” on 28th June 2021.

The announcement comes to the surprise of plenty, amassing over 100,000 followers across their media platforms.

“After many years in esports and unforgettable moments, it’s time for us to let go mostly because of economical reasons”, their statement offered as explanation.

Whilst the interactions pile up for both the English and French announcements, both tweets have been set to followed-or-mentioned reply only mode.
