There are some moments in the world of Esports that are beyond the battle for a title. The loss of any gaming icon does feel personal to the whole community. Recently, the Valorant community lost one of its finest, Twisten. Czech gamer Karel ‘Twisten’ Asenbrener was just nineteen years old.

In the spirit of the sport, before starting off the Blast Premier CS: GO finals, both the finalists’ teams paid homage to the late Valorant champion. The final was played between Team Heroics and Team Vitality. Both teams made all Esports lovers emotional with their overwhelming gesture for Twisten. 

Teams Take A Moment To Offer Condolence To The Valorant Pro 

It was definitely a hard final for the members of Team Vitality. The French Esports organization signed Twisten in 2022 mostly for playing the role of a duelist. It has only been a few days since Twisten passed away, and his absence in the finals game was a stark reminder of his loss.

Before beginning with the grand finale of the tournament, both teams decided to take a moment of silence in honor of the lost gem. The teams stood in unity to offer their thoughts and prayers to Twitch and his close ones. “It is always tough to lose someone of course but when it’s this close to us, from whichever quarter of Esports, it means much more. Mental Health should always be taken seriously. Once we have offered our condolences, we also give a second to ourselves to celebrate Twisten’s life”, were the words of the commentators.
