Hi everyone. My name is Felix and I got into Valorant during beta, and before that I used to play CS with my best friend Oliver who I grew up with. Then I got him into Valorant last winter, and we would play that together all the time while he was trying to get clean. Sadly he passed away this last week from an OD, and I know he had a lot of other good friends in the Val community (I couldn't play that often due to family life, but he played a lot) and I would really like to try to contact them since I know they have no other way of knowing their teammate and friend is dead and I just cant bear the thought of them thinking he just ghosted them.

If you've ever played with "ATN Slayten" I hope you had a good time - he was always very polite and happy to teach over VC - and I hope you will remember to cherish the time you have with your closest friends - be it online or IRL. Life is sometimes way too short and it's important never to take your friends and teammates for granted, and I'm happy we got to share this amazing game together and grow in skill together and just have fun and relax in this game we both loved.

So yeah, hopefully this will get some visibility, and if anyone knows anyone from ATN (EU, most the players were from Hungary I think - maybe some German players too) please direct them here and I would like to discord with them or something. If you don't mind you could also give an upvote to this post for visibility.

Cheers from "Pikkaroni", I hope you all get amazing lobbies and that I will soon have the strength to log into Val again and try the new map.Cheers and much love to all of you.

TL;DR: My friend passed away and I need to contact his EU-based team ATN, help is appreciated.

Edit: Thank you all so much, Im overwhelmed by how this blew up, I will read through the thread after the funeral today, I love you all and this community <3
