For around 1 ½ years, Helvijs has already been playing at the top of the world and is now one of the constant performers at FaZe .

At the end of 2019, broky participated in his first S-Tier events and his total prize money is estimated at around 170,000 USD. However, the Latvian still has to wait for his first success at a very big tournament so far.

broky - Career

Broky started his team career in 2017 with Domigais, with whom he participated in a qualifying tournament. For the first time Helvijs regularly attended C-tier tournaments at the end of 2018 together with Team Wolsong. The Latvian organization was the start of his professional career.

At the beginning of 2019 broky then moved to team Epsilon Esports, where he was signed together with k1to and SPELLAN on 05/02. In the upcoming year, Helvijs played in his first A-tier tournaments and was able to record some minor successes. However, the big breakthrough happened at the end of 2019 and after the transfer to FaZe Clan .

The international traditional organization was looking for a new main-AWP after the departure of GuardiaN. The young Latvian was considered one of the biggest talents in the scene and attracted attention in Tier-2 tournaments as well as Pugs. Signed up on 09/26/2019, Helvijs has since played in 16 S-Tier events and alongside some of the biggest personalities in Counter-Strike history.

broky - Achievements

Broky's first S-Tier tournament was the participation in ESL One: New York, which took place shortly after he joined FaZe .
