While TwitchCon, which took place earlier this month, it was a huge, fun event for the community, Fortnite player.

This report from Dexerto, a gamer by the name of Bogdan passed away in the midst of the Fall Skirmish final, based on a statement released by his teammate Dominik 'RazZzero0o' Beckmann.

Dominik posted on Twitlonger explaining what had happened, indicating that Bogdan had passed away in his sleep – and on the night before being excited for the finals.

"I did not tell anyone about it and I also did not make any tweets about it and I thought it would be important to know that it should be internet, "Dominik explained. "Bogdan and I played Fortnite together for atleast 2 days every day at the Twitchcon in America, San Jose. I enjoyed every second of it since it was a super nice and funny person to talk to. This trip to San Jose was the first time and was remembered in the US and I remember we were so stressed to make it to the end because of the amount of money we spent there. After qualifying for the finals it was literally the best trip ever. We knew we already had money back and we could just enjoy life. We do not know what we are going to do. If we succeed, if we fail it does not matter. After the day of finals we plan to visit some interesting places. So both of us went to sleep, got me earlier. But when I woke up next day and tried to move his arm because he was already gone 🙁 I only got to know him for such a I'll never forget about you Bogdan I'm sorry that I was just going to talk about it. All my thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends May you rest in peace Bogdan!

Bogdan was a rising star in the Fortnite European community, and fellow resident 'Rasmusenn' Wikliundh explained that he was a hard-working player with a big heart. "You always wish me luck before every tournament I played," he explained on Twitter. "Mad respect for you, you will always have a gigantic place in my heart, all my thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends."

Bogdan had recently teamed up with RazZzero0o to earn an 18th place finish at the TwitchCon tournament, earning $ 10,000 as a result.
