Retirement has always been a major part in the world of professional Call of Duty, as with each new game that is released, players often decide that competing is not the right choice for them at the current stage of their life and make the decision to move on. This was the case for former Call of Duty player Jason "Prophet" Nicoletti, who announced his retirement from professional Call of Duty in a series of videos on his Twitter account.
Retirement.

Prophet began his professional Call of Duty career during Call of Duty: Ghosts, after he had made the switch from competing in Halo, and is best known for his time with Panda Gaming. He helped the team to a top eight finish at the Call of Duty World League Atlanta Open in 2017. Struggling to find success in Call of Duty: WWII, Prophet decided that it was time to move away from competing.
I left a couple things out in the video.

If there are any opportunities (with benefits) such as coaching, staff, or content creation with a team/organization, I'm very interested. I love gaming & eSports. Please contact me.
The former player would go on to tweet that he would not be opposed to work with an organization in a coaching or media role, as he is still very passionate about the world of esports. While it is always a sad day to see a player retire from competing professionally, Prophet will now be able to pursue other worthwhile opportunities in the world of esports.
