Peter “ptr” Gurney has announced his retirement from competitive Counter-Strike, leaving the scene after a long career at multiple North American top teams. The 31-year-old veteran has been a profile in the NA landscape for years, however, the international breakthrough never really came for the fierce AWPer.
ptr has in a Tweet revealed that he wishes to focus on his poker career.
I’d like to announce that today I’m retiring from CSGO. It’s been a long journey full of great experiences and many hardships. I wanna thank everyone who has supported me through out the years. I’ll be focusing full time on poker and working hard to further my game. DPP out ❤️✌?

ptr was a big factor for Bad News Bears in their victory at ESEA Premier Season 36 NA this year, which got them a place in the prestigious ESL Pro League Season 14. The strong sniper will unfortunately not follow his teammates to the $750.000 event – Which means Bad News Bears has less than two weeks to find a new AWPer before the start in mid-August. The former Complexity and NRG eSports player ended 2021 with a strong 1.15 Rating.
