He was born on 12.20.1998 in Moscow. By the time he graduated from school, he was thinking about becoming a medic. But at the end of the graduation class, Kirill asked his parents to give him a year to decide whether he could find work in e-sports. So in order not to just hang out, he enrolled in an IT college.

Acquaintance with CS 1.6 happened almost in the first grade of school thanks to his uncle, who trained hard in this discipline (although he never became a professional cyber sportsman). Then Kirill moved to and achieved tangible success over the course of two years. But after that, the understanding came that this was not his element.

After the release with professional matches and world championships, Boombl4 set a goal for himself: to take place in the team and began to train intensively. First, he joined Elements Pro Gaming. And soon, Kirill and two friends moved from EPG to Quantum Bellator Fire. Thanks to their efforts, the team won silver at the CIS Minor Championship – Boston 2018. At the same time, before the tournament, QBF was considered an outsider.

Kirill’s current team is Natus Vincere, where he is the captain. Previously, he also played in the Winstrike Team. In this team, he was also the captain.

Boombl4’s CS:GO in-game tatics

In the game, Bumych usually acts as a rifler. In the current team, NaVi Boombl4 acts as IGL (in-game leader, captain), making all significant decisions and coordinating partners’ actions.

But now, all experts admit that Kirill rightfully holds the captain’s post since he has become one of the top players in the CIS and the world.
