Faruk 'pita' Pita has called time on his professional gaming career, leaving fnatic in the process.
A few hours ago 
fnatic announced that they will be saying farewell to 
Faruk 'pita' Pita due to his retirement from professional gaming. Lack of time and motivation to play the game were cited as the main reasons for Faruk’s departure, which leaves fnatic with four players.
Faruk 'pita' Pita had the following to say about his departure :
“I remember back in 2007 when I went to my first LAN. In the same arena there were teams like fnatic, SK, NiP etc. I stood behind them and watched them play, wondering if I would ever make it to a team of that level.
Almost five years later, I'm sitting in this chair, writing this, thinking and knowing that I made it. I had a goal and I made that goal come true. Something I've learned in my career as a CS-player is never lose hope, and do not let anyone, ever, tell you that you can't do this or that. My time in Fnatic has been a blast, playing those big tournaments, interacting with the fans and other players.
Something I will truly miss since I'm now calling for a retirement. It's easy for me now to say I will retire, but I'm a very impulsive person and I don't know if I will ever come back to the professional e-sport business. I will miss all the fun I have had with all the various teams, especially this team. Not to sound cliché but this was the funniest team I've played with.
I just want to end this to say sorry to the fnatic team, for not having been dedicated lately as you were. I kinda blame myself for our bad performance in Kiev, I didn't put that much effort playing CSDM before the tournament as I did before. That was very a egoistic act from me knowing that the rest of the team "breath" for CS, and I didn't.”
The next time to see fnatic in action will be at the IEM World Championship Finals in March. This leaves the team with just over a month to prepare for the event, with the fifth player due to be announced by the organisation shortly.
