Dota 2 veteran Saahil Universe Arora announces retirement

There are only a few people in esports who have been as consistent as Saahil Universe Arora. The American of Indian origin has delivered consistently and has had one of the most illustrious career in all of esports. Today, after 10 years in the scene, winning Majors, Minors and even an International, he announced retirement via a Twitlonger post, where he said:

I have decided to retire as a player from competitive dota 2. Whenever I do anything in life I tend to be an all or nothing type of person and dota was no different. For the past 10 years I have given everything I have to this game/competition and it was an incredible experience. Now the time has come to pursue other interests and figure out what comes next. Thank you to my fans and past teammates for the amazing memories I will never forget.

Universe was considered one of the most dependable and consistent offlaner. He started his career with Online Kingdom and was invited to the first ever International along with his squad, though he did not play. After short stints through a few teams, he joined Evil Geniuses. After placing 3rd in TI4, he along with Fear, Sumail, PPD Arteezy and Aui_2000 won the TI5. It was in TI5 that he gave us the now famous 5 man “It’s a Disastah” Echo Slam against CDEC.

He hasn’t announced his future plans yet or if we will see him as a caster or a coach.
