His plans for developing esports as a healthy alternative to gambling and other harmful dependencies for the Ukrainian youth changed dramatically on the night of February 23-24, 2022, when rockets began to hit Kyiv and a hostile army crossed the borders of Ukraine. That day, Stakhov decided to participate in the war and joined the ranks of the Georgian National Legion without any military experience or fear.
