100 Thieves were going perfectly when it came to Valorant esports. But earlier this year, they endured a big loss, dropping them from VCT Reykjavik. Afterwards, important roster changes came quickly, with BabyJ and ec1s being let go. But one of the most important 100 Thieves statements was just released: Hiko is retiring from professional Valorant.
100 Thieves Hiko won't be playing Valorant Professional
As you've seen from the title, Hiko officially announced that he won't be playing in Valorant esports anymore. The 100 Thieves journey started with Hiko, and it'll continue without him. Hiko says that streaming was his passion, leading to him being involved in esports too. See the announcement for yourself, it's enough to make a grown man cry!
