The Valorant and esports community are mourning the loss of Karel "Twisten" Ašenbrener, who has passed away at the age of 19 following a battle with depression.

Twisten was a pro gamer with a successful career in esports, where he mostly played Valorant in several regional and international competitions. Beginning his career in 2020, Twisten played for a few organisations like eSuba, building a reputation as a skilled, up-and-coming professional player.

This eventually led to Team Vitality in 2022 where he competed in additional Valorant competitions, such as the Valorant Champions Tour and EMEA League earlier this year.

Twisten shared a final, concerning message with his audience on Twitter, before his unfortunate passing was announced.
