Snip3down retires from pro Halo career

Snip3down announced his departure from Halo with a lengthy farewell video that also serves as a small retrospective of his career. Although he didn't achieve the results he apparently hoped for with Infinite, the 31-year-old American has been regarded as the strongest in the scene for many seasons.

Snip3down entered the competitive scene back in 2008. Over the following years, he happened to change several teams, including OpTic Gaming, eXcellence Gaming, Evil Geniuses and Team Envy. As a result, Snip3down won MLG National Championship 2008, MLG Columbus 2009, PAX Prime Showdown 2014, Halo Championship Series Season 1: Finals, Halo Championship Series Season 2: Finals, HCS Pro League NA 2016 Fall: Finals and Halo Championship Series Invitational 2019, among others.

However, in the period from 2019 to 2021, the 31-year-old esportsman tried his hand at Apex Legends, where he even achieved some success as part of TSM.

With the advent of Infinite, the American decided to return to the stage again, joining the FaZe Clan line-up. Here, Snip3down became the champion of HCS 2021-22 North America Open Series 10, and also made it to the top three at Halo Championship Series 2021: Kickoff Major, HCS 2021-22 North America Pro Series 1 and HCS 2021-22 North America Pro Series 4.

Well, the 31-year-old cybersportsman spent the end of the last season in eUnited, taking 7-8th place at the Halo World Championship 2022.

Many expect Snip3down to return to the Apex Legends discipline, where the FaZe Clan organization will probably also follow. Given a number of secondary factors, this option is indeed possible in the foreseeable future, since the 2022-2023 season will start very soon.
