SystemShark Passed Away on June 24, 2014
Hi, this is SystemShark's "DiNGo Babe".
I wanted to let everyone know he passed away yesterday, June 24, 2014. He was told his cancer was back 3 weeks ago and unfortunately it came back more aggressively than we could have imagined. This was entirely unexpected after the great report he just got in April 2014.
SystemShark and I were together almost 13 years and friends prior to that. I remember when WC3 first came out and he bought the collectors edition. We would rotate playing Tower-Ds and 1v1's on his computer all day and night. The race pictures from the collectors edition were framed and hung down the stairs at all our apartments where most people hang pictures of their families.
I remember when he got his job as an audio commentator and how unbelievably excited he was. I previewed his commentaries, helped him with his tracking and statistics, and listened to his ideas for this website. He loved WC3, loved WCReplays, and loved this community. Most of you never got to meet him in person, but he brought the same passion to his day to day life.
