R.I.P. Antonio Daniloski (Image courtesy of mousesports)
Daniloski was one of the many of mousesports to miss their flight to Shanghai for the Intel Extreme Masters. While on the road back home from the airport, the car had a tire failure and thus caused an accident. As a result of the accident, Daniloski's life was taken.
The statement has been released by mousesports itself and can be found on the organization's official website.
The statement read the following:
Starting point was a missed flight from Frankfurt to Shanghai (China), which our entire Counter-Strike 1.6 team was suspected to take. Unfortunately, Antonio "[cyx]" Daniloski missed the flight and received another flight on Thursday morning.
On his way back from the airport, he had a car accident due to a tire failure and died of it's consequences.
Our thoughts at this difficult time for us go to Tonis family, relatives and friends. We mourn a friend and player who was always loved by everyone in our [mouz] team and the whole gaming community and because of his commitment and engagement he was one of the most important and famous personalities of all time in [mouz].
Our Counter-Strike 1.6 team is already on their way back to Germany and we've canceled our presence and Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge Shanghai.
Consequences ensued – mousesports canceled their attendance at the Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge in Shanghai, which – meanwhile – already went live.
Antonio “cyx†Daniloski was a legendary CS 1.6 player, known both in- and outside the German scene. Without Daniloski's presence, mousesports would have not achieved as much – such as taking the second place among the world's finest at Arbalet Dallas.
He might be gone, but he will never be forgotten in the world of e-Sports.
