It’s a sad thing to have to announce that someone I would consider a friend, has passed away. A fellow Counter-Strike player from Germany, Toni Daniloski, was killed in a car accident stemming from a tire blowout.

This comes right after missing a flight to Shanghai to player in the Intel Extreme Masters Global Finals.

I had the honor of meeting Toni while attending the Arbalet Cup, and can in all honesty say that he was one of the most vibrant people I’ve ever met through the game.

Please keep Toni’s friends and family in your heart, and send your condolences. His team website can be found here, I’m linking to the article regarding his passing: http://www.mousesports.com/en/news/9403/
