\u201cAfter 11 years of professional Call of Duty, it\u2019s my time to hang the jersey up,\u201d Attach wrote. \u201cThe first moment I played this game, I instantly fell in love\u2026 It was my dream to become a professional player.\u201d That dream became reality in historic fashion when he made headlines at just 18 years old by becoming the youngest-ever Call of Duty World Champion, winning the 2015 Championship with Denial eSports in Los Angeles\u2014a career-defining moment that cemented his place in the esports record books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout his career, Attach competed under several high-profile organizations including FaZe Clan, Minnesota R\u00d8KKR, and most recently Cloud9 New York. His longevity in the scene saw him participate in nearly every Call of Duty title released since Ghosts<\/em>, showcasing incredible adaptability and consistency across changing metas and team structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While his 2015 championship remains his crowning achievement, Attach continued to impress in the years that followed. Notable highlights include a first-place finish at the CDL 2021 Stage 5 Major with Minnesota R\u00d8KKR, and top-three finishes at both the CDL 2023 Stage 2 and Stage 5 Majors.

\u201cI\u2019ve had the honour of winning a world championship and earning multiple pieces of the pie throughout the years,\u201d Attach concluded. \u201cNow, I\u2019m ready to take a leap of faith and embrace new challenges as I move into the next chapter of my journey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
