In October 2021, the Rainbow Six Siege (R6) community suffered a tough loss after esports pro and caster Michael “KiXSTAr” Stockley passed away tragically<\/a> in a car accident.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the news of the 24-year-old’s death shocked players around the world, as well as many notable names within the R6 competitive scene. At the time, a large part of the community requested that Ubisoft add a tribute so that KiXSTAr’s legacy would be immortalised within the game title.<\/p>\n

Finally, several months after this tragic event, the talented and charismatic KiXSTAr will forever be remembered by Rainbow Six players, thanks to a new homage added to the Presidential Plane map.<\/p>\n

On 25th January 2022, the Director of Ubisoft Esports, Wei Yue, led the charge in showing the tribute on his Twitter account<\/a>. Yue showed off  KiXSTAr’s plaque in a picture featuring his iconic logo at the western entrance to Cargo Hold.<\/p>\n

Suppose you’re wondering why Ubisoft put the plaque on this specific map and location. Well, it’s because KiXSTAr managed to execute one of his most memorable plays by landing an ace clutch in under ten seconds during his professional career on Team Orbit.<\/p>\n

You can watch the famous eight-second ace play in the video embedded below.<\/p>\n
