Former CSGO veteran Spencer “Hiko” Martin has announced his retirement from competitive Valorant effective immediately. The reveal came via social media, with 100 Thieves sharing a heartfelt Twitter video. <\/p>\n
The 32-year-old started competing in CSGO back in 2008, dwelling into Riot’s tactical shooter in 2020, signing with 100 Thieves. Not only he become an important piece of the squad for his talent, but his expertise when it came to building a competitive roster. <\/p>\n
Under his leadership, 100T would win First Strike against TSM to close out 2020, and while 2021 didn’t have a lot of things going their way, they still managed a decent showing at Masters Berlin, earning a Top 4 finish in the first and only international LAN they’ve played thus far.<\/p>\n
