ire was always one of the people dedicated to making things happen behind the scenes without any expectation of thanks or support. The infrastructure of this scene runs on the back of people like ire who have a deep love for this game.
When I was actively observing matches for TFTV they consistently made my life much easier by handling the responsibility of coordinating with players for STV and rcon info, and any general communications. Anyone who's done production knows that this is a significant workload to take on, especially if you're also busy setting up all your observer shit for the cast.
Many people here probably don't know who ire was, but it's most likely their actions have directly made your TF2 experience a little better at some point or another because that's just who they were.
Rest In Peace.
