Alaan 'SexyBamboe' Faraj has passed away during the week leaving the Dota 2 community mourning.
It is a sad day in the Dota 2 scene and community as players, talent, organizations, and fans pay their respects to Alaan 'SexyBamboe' Faraj.
It came to the community's attention first via rumors and then confirmation from his brother and WehSing “SingSing” Yuen. Pros and streamers then began to flood social media with their condolences and memories of one of the most outgoing and positive OG's of the Dota 2 scene.
As one of the scene veterans, SexyBamboe started his DotA career playing for LowLandLions, a Dutch team formerly known as GoD, and moved over to Dota 2 in 2011.
SexyBamboe has played for a lot of teams in the past, including Evil Geniuses back in 2013, and the Korean Team Zephyr in 2014.
Through the years, SexyBamboe teamed up with Martin 'Saksa' Sazdov at 4 Clover & Lepricon and with Yazied 'YapzOr' Jaradat at Mamas Boys, teams that skyrocketed these two players’ careers. Ahead of TI7, SexyBamboe moved to Southeast Asia and played for the Malaysian-based team Geek Fam. He then joined up with HellRaisers and last played with Team Bald until July 2019.
SexyBamboe's favorite heroes were Rubick, Shaker, and Tiny with a very flashy and aggressive playstyle.
In the last few years, he was still playing pubs and could be found in various lobbies with friends. He was 29 years old, due to turn 30 next month.
