Benchix

Filips Alens "benchix" Putnieks

Started his gaming career in 2011 by getting his first gaming console, which was an Xbox 360. He played many games, like call of duty series, world of tanks, mortal kombat and others. One of his favorite games was "call of duty : ghosts", which he had the most play time in and still continued to play till about 2017, when he got access to his first PC.
The PC was an old AMD-based system, which ran on integrated graphics, so his game library was very limited. The only game he played throughout his first years was Fortnite. Then, in late 2019, he tried playing counter strike:GO for the first time, this is what began his counter strike journey, he put in many hours, mostly playing the game for fun, he didn't think about competitive counter strike at all.
But then he got a team invitation from "Ayriks", a well known figure in the Latvian counter strike community, which began his competitive career. At first he enjoyed playing competitively, but after playing in a team for a while, he started to get burnt out, so he quit the game in early 2023 and moved on to other games.
Though, every now and then he shows up in some Latvian tournaments under team names like "Aesthetic" or "LusHi".
