Alaan "Bamboe" Faraj (previously known as SexyBamboe) has been confirmed to have passed away, as revealed by his close friends.
The Dota 2 content creator had been in the game's community for many years, remaining an iconic figure alongside his friends Janne "Gorgc" Stefanovski, Wehsing "SingSing" Yuen and several others, who would all play together. The news broke on December 11, 2021.
Fans send their condolences to Bamboe and his family
Alaan "Bamboe" Faraj's unfortunate passing was sudden, revealed through a Discord message sent to his close friends.
Wehsing "SingSing" Yuen, Magomed "TheS1tuation" and several others had been doing a live stream at the time the news hit, shellshocking the lot. They ended their stream abruptly after receiving the information.
Faraj used to compete in Dota 2, playing for LowLandLions, Mousesports, Evil Geniuses and Team Zephyr, among many others. He was 29 years old at the time of his passing and was on an indefinite break from streaming.
Through a Discord message, he had communicated to his fans the following:
Yo update on situation im probably not gonna full time stream for some time, I have burned myself out in Dota for a while now and I dont see myself enjoying it anytime soon, (there might be some random streams just for fun here and there). Also the IRL stream wil still happen when the lockdown ends no worries.
Details of Faraj's passing have not been made public. As news spread, viewers from all across the world began to send in their condolences to the streamer, letting everyone know how much Faraj impacted their lives.
Singsing revealed that he had called him as early as a week ago and the two had a fairly normal conversation. He also mentioned that Faraj was on track to getting healthy and was excited about investing in crypto, which is what made the news of his passing more shocking to him.
Faraj had been on a long break from content creation, burnt out from years upon years of playing Dota. The streamer occasionally updated his fans during his break and was allegedly in talks to make a comeback stream.
