It's time.

---

Hello there, Spikelife here.
I wanted to talk about a decision that I made in the last couple of days about me, my "career" and my life. (English is my 2nd language but probably more than half of the people that knows me there aren't Italian, so please forgive me if my grammar is quite shit :( )
From today I will be quitting playing League in any "competitive" way and I probably wont make any comeback at anytime in the future, people close to me probably have seen this coming already but I wanted to make it clear to anyone that knows me as a player.
I decided to quit because of many reasons that I will try to explain as much as I can.
I first of all don't enjoy playing League as much as I did one or more years ago, I used to play more than 10/15+ games a day after work but now I barely play 1-2 games and those aren't even Soloqs. I don't really know if that's just this season but I just feel like getting bored playing unless I'm in duo with someone where I can just have fun, the problem is that doesn't work for competitive with all the training that it requires.
I feel like by not playing much anymore I've got way worse, fact is I now have 2 accounts in D3 with negative winrate, while even last season I managed to get 2/3 accounts to D1 and even Master. I don't really feel confident while playing and when I tryhard all I get is stress and that's just something that I don't want to get, especially from a game.
I feel like I'm kinda old, even tho I'm "only" 24 yrs old I really can't deal with work and playing League together anymore, by working full time I just feel so tired that when I come home I don't even feel like turning on the PC, I just lay on my bed and chill watching streams and stuff.
All those things really wont help while being on a team so that's why I decided to quit and try to focus on different things in life, you probably will see me stream or play league from time to time, just not under any org anymore.
I started to play competitive in 2015 so we're around 5 years on playing League in the best tournaments my country had to offer (even tho I never was able to be in the top tiers), I had so much fun, I met so many cool people that I will remember and keep their memories in me forever.
I wish I had the opportunity to end it all in a better way, maybe by winning some important competitions or maybe to give out my last try but in the end I have no regrets about the decisions I made so far.
I wish everyone that met me in those years to be able to achieve anything you aim for, thanks for being part of my life, sincerely Spikelife.
