Phillip "PhiZZURP" Klemenov
1993-2016
On Sunday, October 2, 2016, the Call of Duty community lost a legend. Phillip Klemenov, also known as "PhiZZURP," and his friend Marcellus were fatally injured in a car accident around noon. Soon after, Phil's girlfriend, fellow pro players, and fans took to Twitter and other social media platforms to announce that he had been killed. This has never happened before, so it was a shock to everyone who heard of it. In the past few days, various fans and players have made YouTube videos and montages commemorating Phil's success and mourning his death.
Phil began his Call of Duty career as a substitute for FeaR. After that, he found his way to a permanent position on FeaR and other teams like Leverage and Strictly Business, his most noted position. He has won numerous tournaments throughout his career and is noted for specializing in Search and Destroy and his metagame. Phil would use classes and strategies that no one else used, throwing players off and making them lose composure and help his own team win. OpTic Gaming's Scump talked about his relationship with PhiZZURP in a YouTube video on October 4: "He was a good friend to a lot of people. I literally grew up with Phil, I've known him for over seven years. We have always been on good terms, we've never had beef or anything. He was always happy, always had a smile on his face, always had good vibes. I'll miss him for sure."
Phil was 23 years old.
