Shocking news came from the realm of Mobile Legends esports. How could it not be? The ex-coach of the Indonesian national team and RRQ Hoshi, Jamesss, officially announced his farewell from the scene that had raised his name.

He himself revealed this through his personal Instagram. Jamesss announced his retirement to the world of esports not without a reason. He decided to retire from the competitive esports scene because he wanted to focus on being with his family, now that his mother just had surgery.

James expressed his deepest gratitude to the fans who supported him and wished good luck to the team he left. The decision of Jamesss must have been very hard. However, family is definitely something that should come first and Jamesss understands that. 

Here are some parting words from his Instagram account:

“Saying goodbye to Mobile Legend would be the most challenging decision ever...I want to thank all the fans who supported me throughout my esports journey. Without you guys, I can't be who I am today. Thank you for trusting me, believing in my decision, and always guiding me through different times. Although we could have achieved better, I hope I didn't let you guys down.

To my teammate, I wish you guys all the best in everything you are going for, things will not be easy, but you guys have everything it takes to overcome that. It's my pleasure to be your coach and mentor through this journey.”

Good luck and good health to you and the coach's family. Hopefully, we’ll see you again in the esports scene someday.
