Top Rocket League pro jstn. pulls out of Intel World Open due to burnout

Rocket League pro Justin 'jstn.' Morales has pulled out of the Intel World Open, saying that he won't compete in the tournament next month. He explained his decision in a TwitLonger statement posted to his Twitter account, saying that while he is definitely "not retiring," he won't be taking part in the tournament.

The Intel World Open is an Olympic-affiliated tournament with a $500,000 prize pool, split evenly between Rocket League and Street Fighter V. Teams of three players from the same region can compete in open qualifiers to earn a place, before working their way up to Regional Finals where the real prizes are on offer.

However, jstn. will be a big miss at the tournament, having won three of the last four Rocket League Seasons with NRG, and the team looking on track to secure another title in RLCS Season X. He cites general unhappiness, the World Championship being cancelled, and the online-only nature of the Intel World Open as the major reasons for him pulling out of the tournament.
