Hey guys,

This has been a bit of a mystery for the community, but I spoke to

elpajuo's uncle today, and he confirmed that elpa passed away approximately four years ago, in what was a freak accident.

It was amazing how top level he got at VQL within a short time span, by being online practicing almost 24/7. He also was pretty friendly and not arrogant, and it was fun playing with him before or during that time.

Cyber X then was an extremely hilarious fail, but still, amazing matches and practice games.

Was that when he kind of vanished from the community? I remember something like that. He just vanished and no one knew what happened back then.

Anyways
