Gao Ran’s Weibo updated a long article two days later.

This long article is definitely the biggest bombshell in the history of e-sports.

High burning...

Really retired!

Countless fans of Gao Ran are still digesting the joy of winning the World Cup and the joy of Gao Ran and Ye Jianing finally achieving success.

Is this news surprising to everyone? To be honest, it’s not that surprising.

The news about Gao Ran's retirement was discussed by everyone when Gao Ran retired from CSGO more than a year ago, but Gao Ran gave them a surprise and reappeared in the World Cup.

This time it's really coming to an end.

Although it is difficult for everyone to accept it, they can only accept it.

Following Gao Ran's handwritten letter, everyone seemed to have returned to Gao Ran's legendary journey.

This is not only the burning spring, but also their youth.

…

Fire:

【Seven years】

I am retiring from my beloved e-sports arena.

This decision was not difficult. I have a lot to say, but I don’t know where to start.

In the past seven years, I have devoted almost all of my youth to e-sports, and I have achieved what I want.

During these seven years, I have worked hard to maintain my passion for the game, constantly set goals for myself, and worked like a madman to stand on top of the world.

I really like what Nash, the son of the wind, said in his retirement statement.

He said, "The best gift God has given me is that I can devote all my passion and efforts to the things I love."

I like this sentence very much. There are too many people who have influenced me on my road to success. I can't list their names one by one, but I want to mention a few.

My relatives.

My parents have always supported me, and Jianing’s father has always given me opportunities and the ladder to keep climbing.

From the moment my uncle invited me to join Dream when he was in college, I secretly made up my mind to become a legend of Chinese e-sports.

Jia Ning.

From the moment I came into contact with e-sports, he has been silently supporting me and encouraging me when I collapsed.

We won the world championship together and stood side by side on the championship stage.

No matter what decision I make, you will always be the one who supports me 100%.

Wan Wenxi.

My best brother, he always said that he learned a lot from me, but in fact I also learned a lot from him.

And my former teammates.

Too many.

r,me,Zhao Hao, Chen Tianxin, Ji Zifei, Feichi, Li Penan, Ozawa, Zhou Zijian, Li Zekai, Tang Lingfeng, Ye Rong, Smy, Qingfeng, Lin Kai, Suning...

As I type these names, the days of fighting with you are still echoing in my mind.

I have always had some regrets about the Ti11 World Finals.

I regret that I did not show off my blue cat and my shadow demon in the finals, haha, this is the truth.

There are only 4 games in the finals, and I have too many heroes that I want to play.

My first world championship, I had never been so excited at that time.

PUBG World Finals.

We at Dream are united and have entered into a terrifying training camp before the game even started. We are determined to win this championship.

In a desperate situation, we defeated the world's top teams again and again, and finally won the world championship without any dispute!

The StarCraft competition also impressed me.

That was the first time I really had a great feeling. I still remember Satan, this powerful player.

We continued to compete on the field and played exciting games one after another.

The FIFA final, that should be the first turning point in my life.

I suffered a serious injury.

Maybe you all think that I would be lost or depraved when I was injured at that time.

But actually, let me tell you, when I learned that I would be taking a year off, I felt very relieved.

I'm so tired.

From my debut to now, I have been practicing and competing continuously, and my whole body is close to collapse.

I have to take some time to slow down the pace of my life.

Then I went to Phoenix and met a group of very talented young CSGO players.

When I saw them practicing hard, I actually understood that I would definitely win this CSGO world championship, even if everyone in the world didn't think highly of us.

Winning the world championship in my first Major was something I didn't expect at all.

To be honest, my thought at the time was that we still needed some time to adjust and improve, but in that game, we almost went crazy.

Several young people also gradually got into shape. After the battle with Liquid, I realized that we could win the championship!

The result was really as expected.

At this time, I suddenly felt a little lonely, maybe a little bit stinky, but it was the kind of loneliness that makes me feel cold at a high place.

I feel that e-sports is no longer interesting. Even if I win the championship again, I will not get a strong sense of pleasure.

At that time, I had the idea of ​​playing League of Legends for a moment, but then I thought about it and it was not necessary.

Our level in League of Legends is already at the top of the world. Since I feel that I have no passion and the industry doesn’t need me, I simply started to play Glory slowly.

Before the news about the World Cup came out, I almost never thought that I would step into the glory field.

But after this news came out.

One sentence flashed in my mind.

I want to compete! I want to win the world championship on behalf of the Chinese team!

This will be the pinnacle moment of my life.

I want to reach the top here!

Not long ago, I did it.

I stand on top of the world, representing the Chinese team. This will be the proudest moment in my life.

I'm grateful to my fans all over the world, and I'm especially grateful to them over the years.

That young man who practiced day and night never thought, or even dreamed, that there would be so many people supporting me and shouting for me.

This gives me the motivation to keep going, thank you all.

As I was typing these words, Jianing also asked me a question.

she says:

"Gao Ran, will you return to the professional arena?"

I don’t know, maybe, maybe not. Don’t have too high expectations for this. Maybe when a game I like is released in the future, maybe Fire will appear in the professional arena?

The premise is that no one registers my ID...

At the end of the article, I actually want to say something to many young players.

I hope these words coming out of my mouth will make you take them seriously.

A player's career only lasts a few years, so don't waste your talent.

Practice basic skills steadily, stay motivated, and have a reverence for the competition.

If you don't take the game and your opponents seriously, you will never achieve anything.

Finally, thank you for your continued support, thank you to every teammate who has fought alongside me, and thank you @Dream Esports Club for your long-term support and understanding.

We are very lucky that the ID Dream.Fire can become a legend.

Although I have retired, I will always be a part of Dream and a part of Fire, and I will walk with you all in the days to come.

The first stage of my life has ended and I am now preparing to enter the second stage.

I am more confident now than when I was on the court.

It’s all over here, thank you for your seven years of companionship.
