Falcons’ IGL Kyxsan blames sleep, stress for playoff drop

Falcons released a final vlog after their semifinal match featuring in‑game leader Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski. The Macedonian captain attributed the team’s playoff results to mental strain, poor sleep and weak individual decisions.

In the video, Stoilkovski broke down the squad’s inconsistency across playoff matches. He pointed to a gap between earlier scores and later performance: “You cannot tell me that three days ago we win 13-4, 13-4, and now we do not know how to play.” He added that something in players’ heads was preventing execution and identified individual decision-making as the main problem.

Stoilkovski apologized to fans and teammates for his output at the event, adding: “I’m sorry if I didn’t bring too much this event, but it’s hard to find… I wouldn’t call it motivation, it’s hard to play.” He accepted responsibility for specific weak phases and for several poor T sides.

The leader referenced personal news he did not detail and noted it disrupted sleep and daily functioning. “I haven’t slept more than five hours. I can tell you that. It’s hard to function,” he added.

Falcons published the vlog to close their run at the event and to capture internal reactions after the semifinal. Stoilkovski, who handles in‑match strategy and calls for the team, focused his comments on mental and personal factors that affected performance.
