Professional Super Smash Bros. Melee player Adam “Armada” Lindgren, widely considered to be one of the best to ever play the game, has announced his retirement from competitive singles tournaments. The announcement came via a video on Lindgren’s YouTube channel, as well as an accompanying tweet.

Lindgren says in his video that this decision was a difficult one for him to make, but one he felt was necessary. He says that motivation issues have plagued him throughout his career, but now they are “much worse than before.” He describes the sense of dread and almost physical sickness that came with entering a new tournament and cites these as further reasons for his retirement.
