There is no doubt that within the North American Valorant scene, one of its most significant figures has been Braxton “Brax” Pierce<\/a>, a player who managed to stand out for being part of the renowned Korean organization “T1” twice, featuring in the main roster.<\/p>\n

However, after a series of unfavourable results in his career, everything indicates that Brax’s competitive journey will be cut short, following his sudden decision to retire from Valorant esports revealed on 21st October.<\/p>\n

Through a Twitlonger shared<\/a> in his Twitter account, Brax has shown his interest in returning to his career as a full-time streamer, but not before thanking T1 for the opportunities the team provided him during this last year.<\/p>\n

“As much as I love competing, I am super excited to get back on the stream grind and be with my awesome community again. For those asking where I’ve been I’ve deemed it super necessary to take a step back and focus on my personal life and essentially finding my happiness again after a crazy year of ups and downs both in and out of game,” said Brax on his statement.<\/p>\n

Despite this transition from competitive player to streamer, Brax will remain part of the squad as a content creator, joining a long line of high-profile influencers such as Tyler1<\/a>, and two-time League of Legends world champion, Wolf.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for the continued support on this journey and I’m excited to take this to the next level and see where it goes because I know the opportunities are endless!!,” concluded Brax.<\/p>\n

During his time in T1, Brax had the opportunity to represent the team in multiple high-calibre regional tournaments within the Valorant Champions Tour. However, in terms of achievements, his results couldn’t match his time at compLexity Gaming and iBUYPOWER when he focused on CS:GO before his permanent ban.<\/p>\n
