The video I saw on Twitter of his girlfriend announcing his death is very hard and sad to watch. I hope she finds peace and strength in this difficult time likewise to his family as well.

Phizz was my favorite CoD player back in the MW2 days. The way he played SnD was incredible.
Huge influence on why I love Search so much to this day.

RIP

This really sucks. I saw the news a couple of days ago and couldn't believe it. Phizzurp was one of my favorite pro's to watch and he really loved Cod. I'm surprised his girlfriend lived in the crash after seeing how damaged the car was. 2016 has been full of surprises.
