Henry “HenryG” Greer has announced his retirement from casting in an interview with renowned journalist, Jarek “DeKay” Lewis that appeared in DBLTAP<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make and it is one that I don’t take lightly. This has been my entire life for close to a decade and I can assure you that I didn’t want it to go down like this,” says HenryG. <\/p>\n It comes with the heaviest of hearts, that today, I am announcing my retirement from Esports commentary. Countless memories. Please read my interview with @Dekay<\/a>: https:\/\/t.co\/GX30kMbugv<\/a><\/p>\n — HenryG (@HenryGcsgo) September 4, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It would be hard not to believe his words, as he worked over 150 events<\/a> as a member of on-air talent of CS:GO events, 10 of which were Majors organized by Valve.<\/p>\n The Brit summarizes his casting career, saying he is pleased with how it went.<\/p>\n “I do feel proud[…] I don’t think I could have physically or mentally given anything more to my career in CS:GO esports commentary.” <\/p>\n Greer also partially explains what stands behind this decision. His arguments mostly point at the current state of online tournaments, which creates a unique opportunity to change and pursue new challenges.<\/p>\n “With the global situation, CS:GO is now an online affair and we will have to make do for now. No one has any control over that. I just see this as a good opportunity to call it a day and start being able to funnel my focus into avenues that I find challenging and rewarding.”<\/p>\n HenryG first came into casting Valve’s FPS in 2014, after passing on his professional career in CS: Source three years prior. He made his big appearance at the Gfinity G3 tournament. In those six years, he became one of the most well-known casters not only in Counter-Strike but esports as a whole. <\/p>\n Oh man @HenryGcsgo<\/a> will be dearly missed. — Nicolai Reedtz (@dev1ce) September 4, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n For most of the journey, he was commentating alongside Matthew “Sadokist” Trivett, and he recalls this period as one of a kind. “The journey that Sadokist and I went on to take over the commentary world, is one that I will never forget. We went above and beyond to prove ourselves and hone our craft. I have never worked so hard for something in my life.”<\/p>\n I wish you just the best my friend. You and @Sadokist<\/a> will always be my favorite casting duo! pic.twitter.com\/cDRGcS6Zyk<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
