Where do I start? - F/A

At the beginning of BO3, we decided to put this roster together to win every event we attended in Europe and also do something more at CoDXP. We attended i58, A2P, SFCO, S1 and S2 winning them all but falling short at the EGL and Gfinity events finishing 3rd/4th. I can say looking back, I'm happy with how it all turned out regardless of those 3-2 losses to Epsilon and HyperGames. Now we move onto CoDXP and all of the issues surrounding that. I personally felt this was the best chance I or any of my team mates had at really doing something there. We all felt confident and couldn't wait to attend but on the Tuesday morning we had a phone call from Callum letting us know he couldn't fly out (he previously told us on the Sunday he may not be flying until Wednesday) due to some personal troubles he had going at that time. That left us in a tricky position with only an hour to sort a player for the tournament which started in two days time. It ended in looking through the CoDsportspedia at all the players who didn't qualify for XP, where we saw MiRx may be free to attend. Eric phoned him and he was on the next flight out.
Now, with hardly any practice on any game mode, I'd still say we had a decent showing coming close and beating some top teams however I'm sure you could all see we just weren't the same no matter how well MiRx would play, we severely missed Callum and placed 9-12th.
A disappointment for all of us but nothing we could complain about as the whole situation and circumstances it all happened under were just extremely unfortunate and we just hoped Callum was okay.

Now to get onto the more recent events.
Since coming back, I've not really spoken to anyone and tried to enjoy my time off the best I can but also streaming a lot. Over the last few days I've spoken with Jordan and Dylan about their plans and they've both decided that they'd like to go their separate ways and look for something fresh for the new game, which is completely understandable. I'm sure they'll have announcements soon enough on their next moves. I wish them well, and they both truly deserve the best and to continue winning. It's just a shame we didn't get to prove we could do it at XP.
Where does that leave me? I'm going to sit back and see what unfolds while waiting to hear back from Callum on his plans and if he wishes to continue playing, if so I will see if he wishes to team back up and look for two. If he isn't going to be around or wants to look elsewhere/has a good offer then it gets a bit more tricky.
I will again, sit back and see what happens but if nothing that I feel worthwhile presents itself then I may call it a day. I've been playing for a very, very long time now and had a rather successful career doing something I love but I still think I have one more year left in me, so if you want to reach out about sorting something going into the new game, you know where to contact me.

Hope this clears a few things up, and again, best of luck to both Jordan and Dylan.
