It can be tough for professional players to decide on their next move when the time comes for them to retire. Do they have the in-game intelligence and necessary personal attributes to become a coach or analyst? Should they move into the game development side of the industry? Another popular path of progression once playing is done is to become a caster, commentating on the game they used to compete in.
The latter is, mostly, true for Michael “hypoc” Robins. Staying on as a content creator for the once-titanic OpTic Gaming, he’s found himself balancing being a personality with commentating over the top tier of PUBG.
