Aurora are in discussions with Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski, currently benched at Falcons, according to reports from KRL on social media. The Macedonian player could potentially take over from Aurora's current captain Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli, who recently guided his squad to a semi-final finish at the IEM Cologne Major.
Sources indicate that negotiations with kyxsan have been moving forward positively. The Turkish organization is reportedly planning a shift toward an international roster structure, with British coach Ashley "ash" Battye leading the project. Despite Aurora's strong showing at the recent Major, analyst Zvonimir "Professeur" Burazin confirmed on HLTV Confirmed that plans are already underway to move away from the team's all-Turkish composition.
kyxsan held the in-game leader role for Falcons from January through April of this year before being benched ahead of the IEM Cologne Major, where he was replaced by FaZe veteran Finn "karrigan" Andersen. During his tenure with Falcons, kyxsan led the team to victory at PGL Bucharest 2025 alongside Abdul "degster" Gasanov and René "TeSeS" Madsen, both of whom joined from HEROIC together with kyxsan. degster had already departed by the time of the Bucharest triumph, being replaced by Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov.
The leadership change at Falcons proved successful, as karrigan guided the squad to their maiden Major championship in Cologne, sweeping FURIA with a decisive 3-0 scoreline in the grand final.
