If you speak Spanish, here's a link to a Peruvian news article about his unexpected passing.

https://libero.pe/esports/1577170-jose-castro-mejor-jugador-peruano-starcraft-raza-zerg-fallecido

While, I didn't personally know him, I saw him around few times and many of my gamer friends knew him well as we had a small gaming community back in our hometown from the days of Brood War, CS 1.6 and Gunbound.

Thanks to all who are helping by fundraising including: OP, and streamers from our community like Fenix, OliPatrick, and Ultra.

RIP CastrO.

Fenix has shared a touching video with Castro's daughter thanking the starcraft community for all the support

The latin american top streamers have really done great work in gathering the community's support, there have been over $3500 in donations there I believe

Lets hope CastrO's family know what they're getting into by affiliating themselves with Fenix. I don't like the guy but if he's helping them out of the "kindness of his heart".. good on him. I'm skeptical tho, time will tell.

I went to his Facebook page and everything is about donations to his bank account or something? If you're donating make sure that the family is getting the money, ask for proof.

every cent should be accounted for and people close to CastrO should stay in contact with his wife

Don't be like that man, He's sharing all the information of all the donations made and has already transferred the money to CastrO's wife. The guy didn't even want to play that role, it just happened to be like that, the news hit him when he was streaming yesterday, he decided to support the family, personally called CastrO's wife and his viewers wanted to help too, so they started donating to Fenix's bank accounts given that CastrO's wife did not even have a bank account to receive the money directly, just today she opened one, and Fenix transferred everything the people has donated so far.

If you have a personal issue with Fenix, then it's your thing, but what the hell were you thinking when you decided to type that crap in this thread, suggesting that Fenix could steal the money just because you don't like him, fuck off. You got shit for brains or something? It's a sad moment for the community, people are trying to do all they can to help the widow, and in this kind of moments it shows how much solidarity there is in this part of the world, people can give everything they have to help others in need. People that did not even have a good relationship with CastrO are doing all they can to help. So how about thinking a little bit before posting?

Preventing something bad from happening is better than reacting to it afterwards, he stole money from me in the past. We agreed to a prize split and he kept the money afterwards (2.5k), his justification was that his english was weak and he didn't understand what we agreed to. I had no proof of anything other than a handshake and his word so i couldn't really make a case.

I was on the same team as him (Fnatic) in SC2 and lived with him for months in a team house prior to that, so i viewed him as a friend/trusted him (naivety on my end tbh). We spoke english together every day btw. I shared the story 9 years ago (on TL) and a lot of credible people within the SC2 community can back me up on it, assuming you don't wanna take my word for it (i have nothing to gain here). I moved on and learned from my mistake, maybe he's a different person now but regardless of that i will never be on good terms with him. Anyways, i view it as karma for betraying the trust of people back when i maphacked. That entire Fenix situation is a life lesson that made me value/appreciate trust even more, so i'm thankful for that.

My only concern is the well being of the mother and daughter because they're in a vulnerable position. Anyways, i brought the issue up with someone trustworthy within the PE community. Ultimately we all want the same thing, the family to be safe/supported.

Take your own advice, don't post if you don't know what you're talking about. My life experiences with Fenix give me the right to be skeptical of his actions until proven otherwise. Like i said, i hope he's doing this out of goodness but him controlling bank accounts/taking direct deposits and such is a bit fishy. There's better ways of doing this (with more visibility etc.) so that the family has direct access to the money.

Is there no better way to do it so that the family has direct access to the money? I was once given a 2nd chance, everyone knows my history but this is a completely different scenario.

Well, you are misinformed, Fenix has been active for some months now(like 4 months or so). It's not like he came out of the blue just for this situation. And I kind of understand that you can be skeptical knowing now what happened to you, but this situation is very different because the context is much more severe, a person has just past away and everything just happened the way I mentioned you, I don't really believe that Fenix wants anything to do with the money that came out of the kindness of the people, especially if he's being as transparent as he can in this process. Additionally, nobody is so dumb to steal in front of thousands.
