Former Gaimin Gladiators mid player Quinn Callahan shared his thoughts on his future in Dota 2. In an interview for OFFSTAGE, he stated that he does not plan to return to the professional scene as a player but did not rule out a coaching career.
I don't think I'll return to being a player, I just know how unhappy I was, and going back to that would be foolish. I have considered working as a coach, but the problem is that it requires about the same amount of time. Of course, less than players, but still, you need to play a lot of ranked matches, grind, and travel to all the tournaments. Maybe in the future, there will come a time if I get tired of working in the studio.
Quinn
Quinn ended his player career in September 2025 after ten years on the professional scene and two silver medals at The International (2023 and 2024). He is currently working as an analyst at Dota 2 tournaments.
Recall that earlier Quinn and Gunnar registered for the open qualifiers for The International 2026 alongside three vtubers.
