Flobby dies by suicide

On March 14 in the evening hours, SK Gaming announced devastating news on its official Twitter account. It is about Flobby, one of the first players of the Clash Royale division of Fnatic, who decided to take his own life by causing a car accident.

Flobby was considered at the time one of the best Clash Royale players in the world, and thanks to this, he had many successes within an organization as recognized as SK Gaming for five years. Since the age of 15, Flobby has belonged to the Clash Royale competitive scene. However, in 2019 he decided to retire.

In 2018, the player and SK Gaming became the second-best team in all of Europe after losing in the grand final to Team Queso of the Clash Royale League 2018 Europe Fall Season.
