======================================================================

The 21 year old Counter-Strike: Global Offensive pro player, Ostap Onistrat, 
known as '0ni' to fans and fellow players, has been killed fighting for 
Ukraine in the war with Russia. 

The Ministry of Defense tweeted in memory of Onistrat: "Another Ukrainian 
father has lost his son. Ukraine has lost her son. The loss is irreparable. 
Victory is inevitable. We all owe it to Ostap". 

Onistrat was killed June 3, by enemy shrapnel while fighting on the 
frontlines of Vuledar in the Donetsk region. This area has seen some 
particularly fierce fighting as of late as Ukrainian forces are pushing back 
against Russian-occupied territory to reclaim lost land. When 21 year old 
Ostap Onistrat joined the Ukrainian army to defend his country, his father 
Andriy, a well-known Ukrainian banker, had no second thoughts: he had to be 
there on the battlefield with his son. He wanted to protect him, to shield 
his heroic boy from the brutalities pic.twitter.com/aHncGx94UJ June 5, 2023

The former CS:GO pro player enlisted in Ukraine's 68th Jaeger brigade, as a 
drone operator. The most recent estimations from Reuters say that 62,295 
people have died, with 60,000 injured and 15,000 missing. 

"Young Ukrainian CS player died while protecting [Ukraine] and every one of 
us," said Sergey Bezhanov , a CS:GO coach for the Ukrainian team Monte 
Esports. 

According to Sportskeeda , the last competitive tournament Onistrat entered 
in was the 2021 ZUEL Championship. Ostap represented the Ukrainian team 
Libertatem who ended up coming second in the competition.
