Daniel “Shadow” Manso has announced his retirement from the competitive scene, a career cut short for a fact in the world of professional Rocket League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made after his last team, Stromboli, got swept and eliminated by FaZe Clan finishing top 16 during the Lamborghini Open<\/a> and ending their season anticlimactically.<\/p>\n

The team Stromboli recently went through some good old Rocket League drama after releasing a player, resigning the same player and releasing the coach in a matter of hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shadow, at only 17 years of age, is saying goodbye to the professional circuit that witnessed his debut way back in 2017 during the now-defunct Rocket League Rival Series (RLRS).<\/p>\n

Since then, Shadow has played for Defiant, Upper 90 Esports and most notably, Charlotte Phoenix from October 2019 to February of this year, when the organisation dropped the squad<\/a> over underwhelming results only to pick up independent team, Loco.<\/p>\n

Shadow walks away with $15,798 in approximate total earnings according to Liquipedia, with highlight finishes like 3rd place in RLRS Season 8, the 2nd place in RLRS Season 9 and top-eight performance against the big dogs in North America during the Rocket League Spring Series. <\/p>\n
