• Comment: It's fairly straightforward what is needed, see the WP:GOLDENRULE. And we need three examples. Here we have two examples, from a source which is difficult to say is reliable, and which only partly refers to the subject, it's not significant coverage, one of the sources has one sentence.
  Almost all people with this profile cannot meet the notability requirements, and there is no evidence here that this subject is an exception to that. ChrysGalley (talk) 12:44, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: The Blast source does not reference the subject at all, and Liquipedia is not a reliable source per WP:UGC. – Pbrks ^(t·c) 15:07, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

After a brief stint on Team Envy, Retals joined Spacestation Gaming^[1], where he won an RLCS Regional Championship. Following the 2022 World Championship, Retals was kicked off SSG by his teammates. He posted a video on YouTube adressing the situation, saying "Doesn't matter how much you believe in a team when the team doesn't believe in you." Shortly after, he joined OpTic Gaming, where he played for a year before joining Luminosity Gaming^[2]. There, he and his teammates qualified for the RLCS 2024 Major 1, but were unable to advance further in the tournament. Later, he joined Shopify Rebellion, where he stayed for the rest of his career as a pro player. After retiring from professional gaming, he became Shopify Rebellion's content creator. It is estimated that he has earned over $320,000 USD from Rocket League tournaments. Today, he is a Twitch streamer and Youtuber with over 500,000 followers across all platforms.
