Brice Faccento, who most recently played for Evil Geniuses’ Call of Duty team and was a part of the Team Revenge roster that placed second at the 2015 Call of Duty Championship tournament, has retired from competing, he announced via Twitter.
Since that Cinderella run by Team Revenge in 2015, which saw them defeat FaZe Red twice, Faccento has been on several high-profile teams, including Echo Fox, G2 Esports, and Rise Nation, the latter of which he won the 2016 CWL Las Vegas Open with. After leaving the G2 roster in December, he signed with Evil Geniuses and competed in their first seven matches of the 2019 CWL Pro League, although they lost six of those matches.
During his career, Faccento’s teams were considered one of the most consistent at the Call of Duty World League Championship. In his first three CWL Champs appearances, his teams (Revenge, Elevate, and Rise Nation, finished within the top four each time.
Faccento gave little information on what he will be doing next, but he did say that he’s excited to “pursue other opportunities in the esports industry.”
Whether that means becoming a coach for another professional team, or even a broadcast analyst like former players Jonathan “Pacman” Tucker and Anthony “Nameless” Wheeler. He also may pursue a career in management like former Call of Duty player and Faccento’s roommate, Eric “Muddawg” Sanders, who now serves as 100 Thieves’ head of esports operations.
Evil Geniuses has not revealed who will replace Faccento on their CWL Pro League roster, but with players from FaZe Clan still outside of the league, there is no shortage of possibilities.
