You're gonna receive a lot of bullshit from this post because it's 4chan but you're a good friend to Ben and somewhere, somehow, he knows it.

That sucks Anon, I'm sorry for your loss.
not gonna lie OP, I teared up.
Makes me wish I had a friend that cared about me enough that they would still think of me years later beyond "hey, remember that guy?"
Never stop being cool OP.
Stay strong Amigo. Eventually you will have to take up his banner, and play Green Falcon in his name.

I was half hoping for a bait and switch... I didn't get it. Fuck you, OP, but I'm still sorry for your loss.
The spirit of Ben lives on through people who main green Falcon.
stay strong anon, your friend sure did have great taste in skins.
if you're into watching competitive melee and want to see some green falcons, you can look towards silentspectre and mango (sometimes).
