A tribute to Michael "KiXSTAr" Stockley - Broadcasted live on October 20th

A true icon of siege, a game me and my friends played for many many good times and watching the pro league kix was always my favourite guy on the broadcast, in fact i didn't watch if he wasn't doing it, he was just that special, iconic and entertaining. Kix is probably THE iconic figure of siege, damn shame he was taken from us so soon, watching him and interro was just special and i'll never forget it, nor the clip of him explaining why ranked don't really matter. i don't really have the words to describe him other than simply iconic. Im stunned and at a genuine loss for words. RIP to a legend of not only siege, but esports and commentary as a whole, i'll pour one out for you, you fucking legend.

RB6 was my intro into esports. I loved playing the game, watching other play at a pro level was so interesting to me. But no sport/esport is the same without a great caster. Without Michael I probably wouldn’t have found too much interest in watching siege competitively. Hearing his calls, the emotion, the excitement in his voice was what kept me around. Paired with Parker, it was a dream duo. Esports will never be the same. Rest easy Michael, we will so dearly miss you.

I enjoyed it every single one. Even after a week, it's hard to believe he is gone forever. Everytime I look at siege, I just remember him. I remember him talking about diet or something last year, it was something about eating and being more healthy and then on the next stream he just orders food from mcdonalds. Made me laugh a bit. Fly high, Kix. Rest well.

I can't imagine what his family, interro and all of the other people that knew him on a personal level are feeling right now because if he can have such a big impact on a community through a screen or by commentating, then I can't even begin to imagine his impact on people that he knew personally.

Yes I’m crying man I grew up watching him when I was in 9th grade. I remember his “fastest ace” video where he killed 5 people with ash in plane popping in my recommendation. I remember being so happy to see one of my favorite R6 players alongside macie jay and matimi0 making it to the pro league casting, hell I watched it mainly because of him, he was the only guy who knew what was actually going on in the match and didn’t get you confused for a second when he was casting. I remember coming home during high school, watching his videos and getting hyped to play the game. Now I’m in college and watching this video made my heart break. Fuck me man… Rest In peace you absolute legend

[@Stak0]

I’ve been keeping up and avidly watching Esports for about 10 years now (from CS, Smash, Overwatch, Siege, Halo, Valorant…) and Kix was by far the best caster I’ve ever seen. His on-the-spot knowledge, infinite energy, wittiness, clarity and wording was unmatched. Even better than Sadokist, Quickshot and even Tastosis.

[@ricardoandresleongomez5267]

I go through this video occasionally, and every time I watch it, it reminds me why I love this game. The stress, the frustration, the emotion, and the happiness of each round of each game. It also makes me feel nostalgic to see Kix, who I consider the best caster R6 has ever had because of his passion in his comments and his love for his fans and the game. He reminds me of when we were all bad, but we all had fun. And I still love this game, but I feel that over time, it has become more of a money machine for Ubisoft than the game many of us enjoyed day and night. For me, Kix will never have an equivalent or a replacement. Still, I hope those new to the game find in some youtuber, streamer, professional gamer, caster, or another figure that inspires them to be better people just like Kix did with me.
