Rahm subsequently confirmed on X (previously known as Twitter) that he had withdrawn from TGL’s debut season because he was unable to make the requisite commitment to the league.
I am sad to confirm that I will not be participating in the first TGL season. While I still think it’s a great opportunity, right now it would require a level of commitment that I can’t offer. Best of luck to everyone envolved and may the best team win!
