Hung ‘Karsa’ Hau-hsuan, one of the most recognized names in League of Legends esports, has officially announced his retirement from competitive play. The veteran jungler revealed the news in an emotional video, where he opened up about his journey and future plans. "Today, I’m stopping here. Karsa, the player, is saying goodbye. But I’ll continue forward with a new identity," Karsa shared, marking the end of an era for one of the most influential players in the game’s history.

Karsa’s journey in League of Legends esports began back in 2015 when he first joined Flash Wolves. This period of his career remains one of his happiest, as he reflected on it with fondness in his farewell message. "Time has really flown by," Karsa said. "Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can still clearly see the moment I first came to try out for Flash Wolves. Match after match, day after day before I even realized it, 11 years had passed."

Throughout his career, Karsa made a name for himself with several top-tier teams, including RNG, CTBC Flying Oysters, and PSG Talon. His list of accomplishments includes winning the LPL Spring and Summer titles in 2018, as well as the Mid-Season Invitational that same year. These milestones solidified his legacy as one of the best junglers in the competitive scene.

Despite the highs, Karsa’s career was not without its struggles. During his time with PSG Talon, he admitted to facing a decline in performance and not being able to carry the team as he had envisioned. It was a humbling experience for Karsa, and he eventually made the difficult decision to step down from the roster. "I was reluctant to leave the stage, but I felt it was right to ask PSG to replace me," he shared.

The following years were challenging for Karsa, both mentally and emotionally. In an effort to cope with the mental strain, he sought the help of a therapist. His gameplay, however, improved significantly thanks to guidance from PSG Talon’s former coach, Cheng “CorGi” Pin-Lun.
