Hi, everyone. My name is Matthew. I'm VADO's brother. This is difficult for me to type, but you deserve to know. VADO committed suicide. I'm sorry to be informing you of this. I'll be back after processing this more. Please take care of yourselves. Thank you for the support.
Bye. ☹️
Hard to describe my issues, but this was the best I could do. The past week has been torture lying in bed most of the day with these thoughts below non-stop with very little reprive and being incredibly sad & disappointed every time I woke up.
This is a scheduled tweet.

@RiotFGC Of the revealed champs my team is going to be Darius on point and Jinx using 2X assist Fuse.
Applying Wound to my opponent (even while blocking) and dealing a lot of chip damage with all my normals and Jinx's projectiles.
Brad joins us from a decade on the @PlayOverwatch 1 & 2 team, where he most recently served as the engine systems lead for OW2. Brad cleverly goes by J. Brad Byrd on the internet so he doesn't get confused with the director from Pixar. Very smart.
Randy joins us most recently from @PlayApex, but has a long history in games, having also worked on @Halo 5, @GuildWars2, @bejeweledgame, and @PlantsvsZombies. Fun fact: Randy's survival-game mods have been downloaded over 2.9 million times @ https://t.co/CZb6jCedhZ
We're delighted to welcome J. Brad '@jbradbyrd' Byrd and Randy Knapp to the THEORYCRAFT team as principal core tech engineer and staff UI engineer, respectively.
