Munchkin, 21, appeared in one of Boston’s first three matches this season, starting the opener vs. the New York Excelsior.

He played the previous two years for the Seoul Dynasty, but was removed from the active roster in Stage 4 last season due to a condition that caused inflammation in his hands.

Munchkin also played for Laser Kittenz of the Overwatch Contenders UE in 2017 and Rhinos Gaming Titan (APEX) from 2016-17.

“Sorry fans, sorry for letting you hear bad news, I will try to get back to the league as soon as possible and once again sorry,” he tweeted on Monday.
