SwATT retires from Competitive Gaming

‘A faithful soldier’ as his now former team Paradigm6 deems him, has left the scene to retire. The 25 year old player has competed relentlessly across four titles and has been an exemplary in fighting to spark esports locally. SwATT will be missed by many local esports enthusiasts.

Being so competitive, determined and skilled he adapted and constantly obsessed over new esports. Starting with Call of Duty 2, recruited by Fury Gaming, he became a pivotal part in a reputable team which is unanimously considered one of the strongest teams in the local scene. SwATT also proved to be an incredibly faithful player, always competing with familiar names such as JeFf, B3Rrij and Got1ke. Eventually Call of Duty 2 esports came to an abrupt end, after he successfully became a COD2 Team Malta member, but SwATT’s competitive career was far from over.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive welcomed SwATT seamlessly and he was back at the top in no time after trying his hand at COD4. Participating in the Malta eSports Festival 2015 powered by MTA, a second place finish was fought for and achieved. At the time, the player was still with Marsh. Getting bored with the title, SwATT recognised Overwatch and the competitive potential it had. Thus, without hesitation, he buddied up with fellow competitors from the COD 2 times to form Paradigm6. The newly assembled squad confidently swept the competition and clenched a first place finish at The GO Malta eSports Festival 2016.

However, the untied contention was destroyed by a disbandment following certain disagreement. In light of this, SwATT still bounced back and reformed a new team with even more ex-teammates. Yet, as other work caught up with him, SwATT backed out of the starting roster and landed a reserve spot. A player from EvH, Zwei, readily took his place.

Leading to his retirement, he informed Paradigm6 that he wouldn’t be available to fill-in any holes due to increasing work load. That is the story of SwATT for now, a promising competitor who stood the test of time and never gave up. Gamers.com.mt are proud to have nurtured such a talented player over the years and looks forward to conceiving similar contenders in the future.

Gamers.com.mt wishes SwATT an abundance of luck for his future.
