Aidyn \u201cKrizzeN\u201d Turlybekov<\/a>, assistant coach of FURIA, found himself in extreme conditions while preparing for one of the most important matches of the season. After another night of Russian strikes on Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure, he was left without electricity and internet and was forced to work from a McDonald\u2019s \u2014 the only nearby place with stable Wi-Fi and the ability to charge his laptop.<\/p>\n

IEM Krak\u00f3w semi-final \u2014 working from McDonald\u2019s instead of home<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The situation drew particular attention because of its timing. On the day of the IEM Krak\u00f3w 2026 semi-final, when FURIA were fighting for a place in the grand final, KrizzeN had no choice but to work from a public space due to the lack of basic living conditions at home.<\/p>\n

The assistant coach spoke openly about it on social media. His first post quickly went viral and spread across the entire CS community:<\/p>\n

My team is playing the IEM Krak\u00f3w semi-final today while I\u2019m sitting at McDonald\u2019s just because I can get internet and charge my laptop here. All of this because Russia continues destroying everything in Ukraine. We had a terrible night and I haven\u2019t slept at all. Absurd.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n

KrizzeN lives in the Kyiv region and has dealt with power outages before, but this time the issue coincided with a key tournament day, when even minimal connection stability was critical for the team\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cAt least I\u2019m not hungry\u201d: irony against a harsh reality<\/h3>\n

In follow-up posts, KrizzeN tried to lighten the mood with irony. He noted that while the circumstances look absurd, at least he still had access to food and a working internet connection.<\/p>\n

According to the specialist, he plans to make his home fully autonomous in terms of electricity and connectivity in the coming weeks to avoid similar situations in the future. However, even these plans do not hide the main point \u2014 the war directly interferes with the work of people who are far from the front line, but not from its consequences.<\/p>\n

Community reaction: support, solidarity, and a sharp contrast of opinions<\/h3>\n

KrizzeN\u2019s post gathered hundreds of thousands of views and sparked a wide reaction across the CS community. Most responses were words of support from players, talent, analysts, and fans from all over the world.<\/p>\n
