doto announces retirement; pursues coaching

The Finn has put an end to his playing career but is already studying to become a coach.

Joonas "⁠doto⁠" Forss has announced that he is hanging up the mouse. The 28-year-old was a staple of the Finnish scene, having played with the likes of HAVU, KOVA, and JANO, although he was most famously a part of ENCE when they made the switch from a Finnish team to an international one in 2021.

The Finn's crowning achievements came right after the online era when he and ENCE were runners-up at IEM Fall Europe, in Stockholm, and then made it past the PGL Major's Challengers Stage before being eliminated in the Legends Stage.

doto has announced that while he no longer intends to play, he is interested in sports psychology — which he has already enrolled in some university courses to learn —, and would like to continue his career as a coach. "My passion for the game has not faded," he says, "I feel it's a role I could show my true potential in."
