Zhang “Paparazi灬” Chengjun is officially leaving the Dota 2 competitive scene for good.
According to Chinese Dota 2 insider CN Dota in a Nutshell, the 27-year-old Paparazi is going through health issues which forced him into early retirement.
He also said that the Xtreme Gaming star already wanted to retire after The International 11 but chose to play out one more year for the team.
Paparazi’s career first took off after joining Invictus Gaming in 2016. He was then transferred to iG.Vitality before anchoring a powerhouse Vici Gaming side from 2017 to 2020.
