Faccento’s retirement puts and end to a playing career that spanned over seven years and included 11 teams. His first and only major tournament victory came at the CWL Las Vegas Open event in 2017, when was a member of Rise Nation.

He last applied his trade for Evil Geniuses, with whom he qualified for the CWL Pro League, but their 1-6 start in Division A had many believing that a roster change was due to take place sooner rather than later. 

Now that Faccento has confirmed his retirement, EG will need to find a replacement quick for the upcoming CWL Fort Worth tournament that’s set for March 15-17.
