It was thought that 2020 would usher in a new era filled with joyful news for the global League of Legends community, as a series of projects from Riot were set to be launched, including League of Legends: Wild Rift, Legends of Runeterra, and other masterpieces. However, right from the start of the year, we were met with nothing but tragic news. Following the heartbreaking death of the first professional gamer Remillia, the League of Legends community has now received another sorrowful update with the passing of the beautiful voice actress Andrea Arruti, who voiced the character Neeko.
It is known that Andrea Arruti’s sudden passing was confirmed by her close friend on Instagram with an emotional post:
“I can’t believe it, sometimes life shocks us in overwhelming and unimaginable ways. There’s no way to find a reason, nor can it be deemed unreasonable, as no one can find a reasonable answer, and neither can I, nor do I expect anything. But today, I feel that the most important thing for me is to remember all the beautiful moments spent with you, as they are truly the most valuable.” This farewell comment from her friend Emillio has received over 4,000 likes from the online community.
Currently, details regarding the unexpected death of Andrea Arruti have not been revealed, but according to many fans, the event surely occurred very suddenly, as just days before, Andrea Arruti had been posting quite normal and cheerful content on her personal page. Some people believe that her last post on Instagram hinted at something troubling. Specifically, she wrote in the description: “I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.” The photo was also posted on December 30, not long ago.
After hearing the news, many League of Legends fans and Andrea’s supporters expressed their heartbreak and sorrow for this young and talented woman. It is known that besides voicing the character Neeko in League of Legends, she was also recognized for voicing Ortensia in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Outside of the gaming field, the name Andrea also became famous for voicing many animated characters such as Izzy in Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Diamond Tiara in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and Sid Chang in The Loud House.
As soon as the news broke, the League of Legends fans in Vietnam also flooded the comments with F to show their respect and mourning for her.
