The Story of KiXSTAr: The Heart and Soul of Rainbow Six Siege

Michael ‘KiXSTAr’ Stockley had been around since the very beginning of Rainbow Six Siege. The very beginning.
As an FPS-obsessed eighteen-year-old, KiX hadn’t just spent virtually every second of his adolescence immersing himself in shooters, he obsessed over them.
He went on to become one of the faces of the game itself, its professional scene and the world of R6 content creation.
Rainbow Six Siege will simply not be the same without him.
In memoriam, this is his story.

In 9th grade (2018), kix responded to my insta dm asking him for a interview in a school project. He had no reason to answer but he did anyway, he answered my amateur questions and used his time so I could succeed. I wish I could’ve met him in person. No one will ever be able to replace him, he was so open on streams and his advice helped me get through high school. He was incredibly kind and talented; his casting, wisdom, and memories, will live on forever. He’ll always be missed, Rest In Peace Michael.

He responded within two days and apologized for taking too long since “he doesn’t check Instagram”… I mean it may have just been whatever, but he actually apologized like he should of seen it right away.

Not only am I late to seeing this but I had no idea KiX had passed away as I've been out of the scene for some time now. This is incredibly heartbreaking to me as he was my favourite person in the siege community. What hurts more is knowing how he passed.. I am very lucky to have survived my car accident even though it leaves me well injured years later. I always found him very entertaining and loved his enthusiasm for the game and his energy! I hope his family is healing well from their loss and may he rest in peace! And to all out there on the roads, please be safe while driving and remember to drive defensively!

I have since stopped playing R6, but it still hurt immensely when I heard the news. When I used to play comp in the T4-T3 scene, Kix would accompany hours of watching pro league to learn new strats.

There was no tomorrow for us to tell Kix just how much he meant to all of us. I may not play Siege anymore, I may not watch PL anymore or interact with anyone I met on R6 outside of Twitter, but the 2-3 years I watched you and Kix together made me really happy. They got me through some of the darkest days of my life even if I didn’t realize it then. For that I want you to know that we love YOU and that you are just as impactful as Kix.

[@purepreme]

Beta & Year one S1 player here. I grew up watching Kix as a kid. I remember watching him during class and heading home after school so excited to play Siege. I would raise my sensitivity so up high just to practice my flicks. He’s the reason why I got better. He bettered my in player movements and game sense. Kix showed me tips,tricks and strategies. Kix literally created my prime back in the Gamebattles and Go4 days on PS4. I haven’t touched the game in so long but every time I think of Siege, Kix has always pops up in mind. He was there during the whole run down of siege, from errors,annoying bugs & glitches to the ex pro players. I feel like i’m typing too much but what I’m trying to say is that Kix was really a true real person. He kept it so real and always stayed humbled. Never looked down on others. Motivated and inspired many other pros and players. We all thank you Michael and appreciate you for everything that you’ve done for the community. We miss you so much. LLK

This was a really well made video. I put off watching it cuz I didn't want to be disappointed. There was a degree of anxiety worrying that it would be bad and leave a sour taste in my mouth, but as the video says there is really no words to describe the effect KiXSTAr had on the community. Thank You.

I'm sad but happy I wish he could have seen this. I love the tribute.

Too many young souls lost in the last few years. RIP brother.

I hadn't heard KiX's voice since the news until now, and man did it hit hard. Rest in peace.

[@Xelstarino]

Rest in peace KiX. Always loved watching you.

I just love the care, emotions and effort was put into making this video. Everytime a watch it again since the day it came out, which was the way I found out what happened to Kix, I can never hold back the tears of the amazing hero and role model he was.

[@fohks]

My inspiration since year 1, and the reason I started to make siege videos. many love man, I'll miss him massively.

[@cerjmedia]

I've learned so much from kix as well as iceycat. Rest in Peace to both of them

[@thebandcatastrophe]

I cried when they had the first clip of Kix casting play... hearing his voice brings back some crazy memories and I feel like the community will never be the same without him.

The dude was a legend and inspired many of us day 1 noobs to keep pushing on and get better and better, may this man go down in the history books of E-Sports

I miss this man, I can’t even look at siege anymore the same, you know when it just feels so empty it’s so crazy to feel this way about someone I’ve never met. man but he was the first person who made me want to play siege competitive, I’m happy to say I had the privilege to have him on my team once and play against him
