Who was Daveeys?
Daveeys played a pivotal role in securing KRÜ’s qualification for Valorant Champions 2023 by clinching victory in the Americas Last Chance Qualifier. Along the journey, they vanquished formidable opponents such as Cloud9 and FURIA. However, their performance in the tournament group stage saw them end up at the lower end of the standings, following defeats to Paper Rex and Giants.
Exhibiting his distinctive dedication and modesty, he took immense pride in serving as an inspiration and ambassador for both his country and region on the international stage of VALORANT.

He had a funny and unique personality and was never afraid to show it and his friends loved that about him. He was described by his friends as someone always ready for a laugh.
Daveeys obituary and funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date by the family.
