It is said that this is a tough time now, and they want to keep the memory of K1KA alive.

Depression and Coping are Vital Topics
Reactions: The death of the young streamer has shocked many users on Twitter: Under her last post on Twitter, announcing a live stream on Twitch, numerous tweets with “Rest in Peace” can be found, and a virtual candle is lit.
On Twitch, people are clipping previous streams of K1KA and posting them under the title “Miss u” – “I miss you.”
The CS:GO analyst Janko Paunovic expressed his deep sorrow over the death of K1KA and called for more mindfulness: One must remember that the words typed on the keyboard reach a person who reads it all (via twitter). No one knows what is going on in the lives of others and the problems they struggle with every day.
Mental health, depression, and coping are important, indeed vital topics – especially among content creators.
In 2020, the death of Twitch streamer Reckful at 31 shook thousands of people. Reckful was regarded as one of the pioneers of live streaming. He was a role model for many content creators and influencers who grew up with him.
