(CNN)One of the men shot and killed at a gaming tournament in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sunday had won the national tournament, the Madden Classic, two years ago.

The other was a former high school football player who loved to play the online version of his favorite sport, and had won $51,000 in his short gaming career.

"They were great competitors and well-loved members of the Madden community. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to their families, loved ones, and all of those affected by this tragedy

When you read about them they were good guys who were great real and game players
Elijah Clayton, 21, and Taylor Robertson, 27, were both football stars in high school and then later became successful pro-gamers.
The community has come out to say neither were trouble makers and they were easy to get along with.

Taylor Robertson from WV, leaves a young son and wife. Elijah Clayton 21, is from CA .
Both were young and had so much talent and life left if not murdered
The killer was also not from the state, and all were in town for the tournament
