Recently, cynic played for the BOSS team, with whom he successfully qualified for the RMR qualification for the first major in Counter-Strike 2 and EPL S19. His last tournament was the closed qualifier for IEM Chengdu 2024, where his team lost to M80 and Team Liquid.

Here is how Nouns Esports commented on this loss:

This week, David's father informed us that cyn1c had passed away.This deeply shocked our team, as we had worked closely with David since we entered the CS scene. He was a joy in communication and loved by all team members.
He was always a commanding figure in the team, bringing leadership and lifting everyone up, being a talented player and a natural person.
Thank you, David. Rest in peace.

  

And here's what BLEED Esports coach Alexander kassad Trifunovich had to say on his Twitter:

I didn't personally know Cynic, but his nickname is familiar from NA. Sad news, he was only 23. Tough. Rest in peace, guy.

  

Legend of the entire NA CS, Jedan HexT Postma also spoke out:

Please, if you ever have thoughts of self-harm, or if you just need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out to a loved one or friends. I'm always open to talk if someone wants to chat.

  

Quite a large part of European and North American Counter-Strike still spoke out on this tragedy. cynic was only 23 years old, and in his six-year career, he managed to win $83,843 in prize money for participating in more than 100 different championships.

His statistics for the last 12 months looked something like this:

Well-known English-speaking commentator and analyst Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg also commented on this:

Met Cynic at several events, competed with him online. Saw the path he took, standing out in the American scene. Rest in peace. It struck like thunder out of a clear sky.

  

All that's left to say in the end is take care of yourself and seek help from professionals if needed.
