Nuclear retires from League of Legends
Ihor MatusOne of the DAMWON Gaming players announced that he has ended his career as a professional player in League of Legends. He has been in the team since May 6, 2018. As part of DAMWON Gaming, he won the only significant victory in his career - Rift Rivals 2019: LCK vs LPL vs LMS vs VCS. The team earned $ 80,000 for winning it.
Over 6 years of his career, the player earned $ 62,399 in prize money. At the 2020 World Championship, the esportsman was announced as one of two substitutes for the DAMWON Gaming roster. During the entire championship, the team never asked the reserve players for help. Thus, the League of Legends World Championship this time flew past Sean 'Nuclear' Jong-hyon.
Earlier it became known that Flame, not participating in 2020 Worlds, as well as Nuguri, BeryL and Hoit left the team. The latter, just like Nuclear, was announced for the tournament as a reserve player, who was never approached, but Nuguri and BeryL were included in the five that raised the 2020 World Championship Cup over their heads.
