I don't think that his youth is destined for regrets but I understand those words he has said because it's full of frustration for him. For the past TIs, he was close for being a champ together with Ame but it has never happened.
Now, on this TI, his team except xNova got the virus and they had hard time playing on the main stage and they're eliminated.
I can sense that he is full of frustration and as a pro player, they all want the best outcome but it can't happen to all of them. He'll retire as one of the best mid players.
It's just the worst time for him to retire. He did not even enjoy his last game in TI since they are isolated from their teammates. If it is not meant to be, it won't. They had a hot start, and it was all for nothing because of Covid. They could have easily made it to top 5 or 4 if not for the unfortunate events that transpired. Anyway, I wish him luck to his future endeavours not that he is retired in pro scene. He will still be remembered by the most avid fans of DOTA.
Yeah. Too bad that he had a bad run in the TI together with his team. It would be a different story if they didn't had the covid virus and they played altogether in the stage during the playoffs.
I think he will retire as a player but he can still go back anytime to pro scene. But if he choses not, he can be a good coach or analyst for the rising stars in the China region.
