Alexich.

During his senior year of high school, Alexich was mostly playing StarCraft 2, but he later switched to League of Legends at the suggestion of a friend. When he reached level 30 in less than three weeks, he became aware that he had what it took to succeed in the game and began to take his path seriously.

When he founded Moscow 5, he began streaming on own3d.tv around the same time. In August 2011, he switched to Twitch.

His own name served as the inspiration for Alexich's gamertag. it is a shortened version of his full name, Alex Ichetovkin.
