'''Daniel Kish''', also known as '''KishCubed''', was an Indiana [[Sheik]] player.  His first tournament was in St. Louis, where he immediately made an impact by getting second place over already respected smashers [[Joshu]], [[Ignatius]], and [[Snex]].  He was generally considered the best member of the [[Ship of Fools]], except for the occasional loss to KishSquared.  Even as he went through open heart surgery and a heart transplant, his tournament career continued to flourish, often taking Top 3 prizes until his final tournament at [[Flame of Bowser]] 3, where he placed 1st, going 2-0 the whole tournament against such players as [[DieSuperFly]], [[Eddie]], and [[Drephen]].  He died in January of 2004 at the age of 19 from complications following heart surgery and rejection of the transplant.  [[MLG]] made a donation in his name to the Make-a-Wish foundation, a group that had touched Daniel's life.
