Pimp officially retires as a CS:GO pro to focus on content creation

Professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player Jacob 'Pimp' Winneche has officially announced his retirement from CS:GO via Twitter, revealing that he will be moving into full-time CS:GO content creation rather than competitive play.

It's been two years since Pimp last competed, and has been working more as a CS:GO analyst in the past couple of years. He still plans to retain his work on the analytical side of the game, but has now drawn a firm line under his competitive career, moving on for good.

Pimp stresses in his statement that the decision had nothing to do with his feelings towards CS:GO, and that in fact he would be able to "dedicate even more time to CS: GO!" Instead, Pimp points to the excess travel of his current role (240 days on the road last year), and says the pandemic had forced him to "reinvent himself," something he'll look to do as he pivots towards content creation and turns his back on the possibility of rejoining the pro scene.
