Just got word from the HoN/Dota thread that Travitus, an active member with the hon players passed away early yesterday morning in a car accident. Even if you didn't know him, i consider our community to be a big family bounded by intense esports passion - it sucks :\ .

I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on March 16th, 2011, during our DotA match. First off my gameplay as Rikimaru was atrocious, from beginning to end. My -cs was non-existent, and my kill-death record was worse, at a staggering 1/6/2, and this was all before 15 minutes of gameplay had passed. I could always try to blame this score on my laning partner, saying that he was incompetent, but I am afraid that this time it was the other way around, and the only person to lay blame on is myself.
After playing so utterly horrible I then stooped to an even lower level by rage quitting from the game. I could have tried to redeem myself and just farmed up and acted like a carry late game. Sure it would have been tough, as I only had boots and a Wraith Band, but it wasn't to late for it to be done. Especially with iSexU singing on TeamSpeak, his voice is beautiful and anyone can find inspiration simply by hearing his wonderful voice (Autotune is not needed, but it does add a nice touch to his singing capability). But instead, I chose to take the easy road out, and I will never forgive myself for those childish actions.
I also want to apologize for what my actions led to, which in the end was our defeat. Had I played, better, or had I even just stayed around to help out, I am sure that we could have pulled through with a win. This is what I am most sorry for, for letting down my fellow teammates during a DotA match. I promise that I will never abandon my teammates like that again, and I hope that you and the rest of the team can forgive me for letting my you all down and for playing so poorly. I am truly sorry RabidCh.
Really sad when tragedy strikes like this. Didn't follow the HoN/Dota forums at all but I'm sure he'll be missed here aswell as by his loved ones of course.
