I dont really know much about lewa but i saw some videos about him,a really cool person i can say.Hope you are in a better place now,rest in peace,legend.
I didn't properly know him before today. I had only seen a few replays on YouTube. But either way this is a sad time for so many people and my heart goes out to them all. Rest in Peace thelewa
When I started playing osu! I adored him very much, and my dream was to someday compete with him. He was so nice when I met him at Finland Summer Assembly 2013 and I asked him to play one beatmap he had never heard. He downloaded it instantly, even his friends were about to go for a walk and were rushing him. He played the fking map at highest difficulty without a single mistake. I don't know him personally but I still wish he could have been here much longer.
Leevi, you will always be the hero I admire whenever I launch osu! and will be remembered as a legend, a title you deserved.
May he rest in peace. Depator, that was a great text, yet really sad. It really moved me and and I was quite in tears after reading it. These kind of emotions hit me, even though I only met him once. This must be hard for you as well. My condolences. Take care. I just can't believe this is true.
Rest in peace, i know that he's watching us from above :')
You're not just a clown, you are the whole circus.

Wish I could've been there for you man... sadly I never knew you outside of osu. I remember you asking what your tablet settings were and never changed the area settings til this day. Enjoyed your streams. Hope to find some past streams online to remember you by. Those legendary plays are timeless. Rest in peace
Rest in Peace Leevi. Everytime when some ask me who are my favorite osu! players, it's always you on the list, and that will never change, even if you're not here with us. Even apart from osu!, your personality within the community really helped lighten up the attitude.
I started to play osu in his glory days and I was impressed by his skills and great plays, was a player who inspired me. I'm not believing it to be true. I did not know Leevi personally but I feel like I know him so much, and it really hurts me. My deepest condolences and i wish that family and closest friends find through these messages the support and the consolation needed to move on. Thelewa will always live in our hearts, rest in peace.
Vaikka ei oltu enään kovin läheisiä lukioaikoina(vaikkakin tekemisissä koulussa päivittäin) oltiin tosi läheisiä ala-asteen ja ylä-asteen välillä. Monta hullua juttua tuli sen kanssa tehtyä kuten kiivettiin meijerin piippuun koska miksipäs ei.
Leevi oli uskomattoman lahjakas ja älykäs ihminen ja tulee aina olemaan osana mun elämää ja identiteettiä.
Voimia perheelle ja läheisille.
I loved your sense of humor, I read your ask.fm for hours at a time and remember watching you FCing Airman for the first time. you reached so many people in the community and won't be forgotten.
my condolences to his friends and family and everyone affected. lepää rauhassa Leevi.
There was a time I loved you more than life.
You took a piece of me with you.
This world was too cold for your warmth, but I will never forget your smile when you told me you love me.
the time is right to put my arms around you
you're feeling right, you wrap your arms around too
but suddenly, I feel the shining sun
before I knew it, this dream was all gone
Although I didn't know him personally, thelewa was always one of the players on my admiration list.
He was someone whose replays I saw on so many iconic maps' top 50 and a player with unquestionable skill in every aspect of the game.
Even though he's now gone, I think it's safe to say that he will never be lost from the osu community.
I hope you rest in peace, Leevi, you've more than earned the right to do so
Leevi's parents and siblings are thanking everyone who have memoried Leevi. I myself am very moved how many people knew him and how many lives Leevi affected. This means a lot for me and even more for his family.
I'm sorry I might be a little late on this one, but as usual I'm really out of the loop, and I learnt about this calamity only a few days ago. To be fair, I'm still struggling to cope with this horrendous fact.
Even though I knew Thelewa only as an osu! player, the message about his death struck me as if he'd been my close friend. Although we've never met, I feel like I owe really much to him. It's truly excruciating just to think how such a great person of that young age lost his battle with depression.
One of my best and most uplifting memories of 2013-14 (the peak of his activity on twitch.tv, and, by coincidence, rather grievous period of my life) is his livestreams. During long talks with his viewers, Thelewa presented his unique personal philosophy. I can say he really changed my outlook on improving in life - particularly his invaluable practice of rethinking the purpose of overcoming some arbitrary problems (for the sole sake of having them solved) before dedicating one's life to tackling them, has since been leading me through various affairs of my adulthood. I also couldn't stop admiring how such a young person was capable of presenting reflections so thoughtful and mature. After he became inactive in the game, I still wanted to hear from him. I would check his profile almost everyday, watch every video he posted on his userpage (especially that one acid techno mix, which kept me sane when I was studying for my finals some years ago). I'm grateful to him for introducing to me many great beatmaps. His numerous tips helped players all around the world. His clever responses to questions on his ask.fm provided his fans with hours of laughs.
It's really bitter that I'm never going to meet him in real life, that I will never have a chance of engaging in a group discussion with him... or simply hear his cheerful voice again...
You inspired many. By many you will be remembered and missed. Goodbye, and thank you for everything, Leevi.
I quit visiting the osu! community a while back, but I had to return at least 1 more time when I heard of this news. Leevi was a great guy, a bit of a jokester, but a great guy nonetheless. We weren't always the best of friends, but every time we talked I was always laughing and enjoyed every moment. I wish the best for his family and friends.
Rest in piece Leevi "thelewa" Juusela, see you in Valhalla my friend.
I haven't played in years and only found about this today by chance. I used your skin exclusively since you first shared it on Twitch, and watched you every time you were on. Reading this thread made me cry more than all of my grandparents' funerals put together.
