I will never make as much money as I do in policing as I do in video games

This experienced player entered the world of esports relatively late. When PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds broke through, Martin Beneš became the first professional player in the Czech Republic at the age of 25. It was also for this reason that he had a very fast start, but also experienced setbacks afterwards.

“My heyday occurred in 2017 thanks to PUBG. In November of that year, I signed up for the Dignitas team, which was preceded by a decision on whether to leave the police force. I had about a week to do it because they knew it wasn’t easy for me,” said the player and streamer known by the nickname spajKK, who is still making the same decision six years later.

The first foreign contract gave him enough money to devote himself completely to playing. “I will never make as much money as I do in policing as I do in esports,” Martin said of the paycheck. Thanks to a combination of games and creative activities, he earned up to 70,000 crowns in several successful months.

However, after several prestigious involvements, he transformed into a content creator. Two successful life paths helped him not have to return to the police after his professional career ended. “I stream more than 200 hours a month, an average of almost eight hours a day. However, even after six years have passed, it is still fun for me,” he said gratefully, knowing that his work is still a hobby for him.

He considers time spent as the key to success in any activity. He can play an above average number of competitive titles, but talent alone is not enough. “Talent is just a good tool to start with, otherwise the most important thing is to take your time and do your best,” he explained.

A few weeks ago, he was able to realize his lifelong dream thanks to video games. Thanks to esports, he visited Los Angeles, where the Valorant World Championship was held and where Elon Musk, for example, appeared.

A trip to sunny California not only gave him valuable experience, but also inspiration for his next life goals. “I want to host the biggest VALORANT tournament here, including live finals,” the experienced player concluded, outlining his upcoming projects.
