Fly high, Ohia "ire" Aster



"ire was always a bright spot in the community. The amount of hats she wore while helping the TF2 scene cannot be understated. They were undoubtedly a superstar who carried a ton of work behind the scenes.

They will be missed dearly. Rest in peace. My condolences to her family and friends."

"I don't think I'll ever stop gushing about what a joy it was to work with ire. Their dedication was limitless, their spirit was infectious, and they had grown so much from when they first joined tftv/the overall competitive TF2 scene. They were a hell of a producer assisting those who were broadcasting the matches with all of the little details to elevate the production. Their impact was well known amongst those behind the scenes of the casts.

Rest in peace, ire. I'm going to miss the hell out of you."

"Ire was a prominent member within the casting/production space. The amount of projects, casts, articles, administration, and overall assisting they’ve done for this community wouldn’t fit on just a single piece of paper, nor multiple pages in all honesty. I remember ire helping ya boy get on his feet whenever I wanted to learn how to cast.

I will never forget the times spent in makkabeus’ mumble making one another laugh.

You were a fantastic person, a loyal friend, and the best that this community has had for all the work you’ve done. We’re so grateful to have had someone like you in our tiny little community.

Rest in peace ire. Thank you for everything."

"I never got to interact with Ire as much as I would have liked, but I'd met her enough to know she was an incredible person and will be missed."

"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."

"She was a good friend and someone who relentlessly tried to make the scene better. So young too, a complete tragedy."

"I had the privilege of getting to know Ohia after meeting her in the TFTV staff slack. Since I met her, I watched her write some of the best articles and puns maybe in the sites history, pulled her into casting after forming a friendship, and spending so much time with her playing TF2 and CS. She poured her entire heart into this game and community, and tried so hard to improve every organization she was a part of. I was extremely lucky to be her chosen sister, and both of us had supported each other constantly during our transitions.

I'm gonna miss you so much ire I love you so much"

"As a writer, as a caster, as a producer, as an admin, a coordinator, a mentor, an organiser, Ohia put her heart and soul into this community, as with so much that she did, and I can only be glad I got to work with her for the short time I did. After what she had been through, to have reached the light at the end of the tunnel and be gone almost immediately... rest in peace, and all love to the family that you built."

"Ire was there for my very first cast on TFTV. Pushed for me to go cast for RGL lan. Ire meant so much to so many people. This is devastating."
- Lecrum
"Ohia did so much for the community, was always kind and caring, and I loved her like my little sister. I still don't know how to process it."

"ire was one of my favorite people I got to work with when I was a part of teamfortresstv. Hard working, kind, and unbelievably dedicated don't begin to describe her. I'm going to miss them so much."

"This hits me. Ire was one of, if not the most active member I've engaged with during my time in teamfortresstv. An invaluable member of the team. Even as I moved on to Valorant, little bits of interaction here and there made me appreciate my time with them."
