CS: GO gamer died of illness, the community organized a tournament to commemorate

Who said gamers are young people without merit, all day they only know how to play games to argue and kill? Behind the scenes of gunfights, chopping and slashing in the virtual world are really sincere and attached feelings. That’s why, even if we never met each other in real life, the community CS:GO India even plans to organize an online tournament to commemorate the young male gamer who unfortunately passed away due to illness.​

​

On May 27, a Facebook user named Ankit Saha posted a status line expressing his condolences to his friend, a CS:GO gamer An Indian talent nicknamed “EcheloN”, unfortunately passed away after two years of fighting illness.​

The sad news quickly spread in the CS:GO community, with no players even going to EcheloN’s Steam account to mourn and may he rest in peace.​

​

And that’s not the only thing when the Indian CS:GO community is also planning to hold an online tournament on Discord in memory of this player. Of course, all can’t bring EcheloN back to life, but it makes his death more meaningful. This idea was brought up by a gamer in the CS:GO community even though he had never met or heard of EcheloN.​

The tournament has no admission ticket and anyone can participate. For the sake of the tournament, all toxic acts are strictly prohibited. The tournament will start tomorrow 6/6.

​

It’s great to see a community of players able to unite, together to create good things like this. It’s time for people to have a different view of the game, not only as an entertainment tool but also as a bridge to connect everyone in the world together.​
