At BOOM Esports, our legacy is built on the shoulders of giants—those who have stood by the Hungry Beast through every evolution of our organization. Today, we are filled with both pride and a heavy heart as we announce the departure of a true legend, Harry “6fingers” Tjahjadi Putra, who has officially concluded his journey with us on December 23, 2025.
Harry has been with us since day one, literally from the very birth of our organization. From our early days as BOOM ID to our rise as a global contender, he has been a pillar of our family.
Harry’s career at BOOM is a testament to his versatility and deep understanding of competitive gaming. He didn’t just coach; he lived and breathed every role within the team throughout nearly a decade of dedication:
- The Early Years: He first joined our ranks as part of our very first CS:GO lineup in December 2016, later serving as the captain of that division.
- The Mobile Frontier: He briefly shifted his focus to help build our presence in the mobile scene, competing for our Call of Duty Mobile division.
- The Valorant Era: When we entered the world of Valorant, Harry stepped into leadership roles that would define our success. He served as a Coach (February 2022), an Analyst (November 2022), and finally ascended to the role of Head Coach in January 2025.
Milestones of Excellence
Under Harry’s guidance, we have reached heights that will forever be etched in our history. His tactical brilliance and analytical mind were key factors in some of our most significant achievements:
- Global Recognition: He was instrumental during our historic run to VALORANT Champions 2022 in Istanbul.
- Regional Dominance: Most recently, he led us to a stunning 1st Place victory at the Predator League Indonesia 2026 in November 2025, securing our spot on the APAC stage.
- Pacific Contenders: He guided the squad through the grueling VCT 2025: Pacific seasons, achieving a top 6 finish in Stage 1 and a remarkable 3rd place finish at VCT Ascension Pacific 2025.
Harry, thank you for being a mentor, a leader, and a friend to everyone who has worn the BOOM jersey. Your dedication to the “Hungry Beast” mindset has set a standard for all who will follow in your footsteps.
As you move on to your next chapter, the entire BOOM Esports family wishes you nothing but the absolute best. You will always have a home here.
