Posts from Artem Boykov, also known as KobRa, has passed away.

The ranks of heroes are thinning; after a long illness, the azure dragon from the world of heroes, known to us as KobRa, has passed away. Until the very end, he continued to work actively and participate in the life of the heroes community. Artem was 35 years old. For those who wish to support Artem's family: The card number of his brother-in-law's Sberbank account is 5469 5500 7407 5208, Alexander Igorevich E. When making the transfer, please indicate KobRa so that the relatives understand that the money is from us. !!A huge request not to distribute the details on social networks!!!

Are you serious? I understand that you don't joke about such things, but... (((

Found out yesterday – still can’t get over it.
Rest in peace, Artem, we will remember you.

May their memory live on forever.

Yeah... I suspected there were some health issues, but I didn't think it was that serious...

Brutal. May he rest in peace.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to send money to family members? I recently buried some relatives, and it was quite an expensive undertaking (not to mention everything else).

Very sad news!
Artem, I will remember your advice!
May he rest in peace!

Another reason not to like short timers. I really wanted to meet Cobra in person if I ever get to the CIS region.

I also found out yesterday, and it was a complete shock. I chatted with Artem a bit and played against him; he was a great opponent. After meeting him in person in St. Petersburg at SNG'16, he left a very good impression – a pleasant, calm, and balanced adult. Rest in peace, Artem; may his memory be eternal. It's all very sad.

This is very sad.

Rest in peace, Artem.

Wow, that’s terrible (((
May he rest in peace.
What was he suffering from?

May he rest in peace, and eternal memory to Artem!

We never met in person, but based on our correspondence, he was a positive and pleasant person. We even discussed recording his gameplay for future generations. I only managed to record a few games. When he started streaming, I sent him an intro with his nickname, and he noticed that "the letter R should be capitalized"). He left only good impressions.

I also support the initiative to collect money for his family. We need to find out the details. And spread the information as much as possible so that everyone who wants to can help. It's a pity we didn't know about his illness earlier; maybe there was some way to help him while he was still alive and even cure him... It's very sad...

For the future, for those who are sick or have serious problems: don't be shy – the world is not without kind people. There will always be those who want to help. Perhaps it would be worth creating a separate thread to help those in need.

Maybe it's not entirely relevant.
But I've known Cobra for a long time, back in the 2000s, he came to Moscow, and we even met thanks to Floriel. And this news today really shocked me... It's very sad.
Anyway, besides many other things related to him, I wanted to leave a colorful clip here, which he used to have in the link to his banner. I wish everyone to appreciate life.

The one that was in his signature and is now associated with Cobra is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSOMA3QBU0

Sad news, I feel sorry for Artem!
