Farih Matthew Puente is a Peruvian professional Dota 2 player who plays in the semi-support. He ranked first in the average number of assists during the PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington 2022 tournament.

Matthew began his professional career in 2015 by joining Team Unknown but did not stay long in the team and then traveled to various clubs in South America including Luccini, Not Today, and Mad Kings for a year. His first notable results were achieved in the Infamous team, where he managed to qualify for the main 2017 tournament and took 13-16 places with the team.

In September 2017, Matthew became part of the Digital Chaos.SA team, with which he managed to pass the PGL Open Bucharest qualifiers. However, a month later, Farih transferred to Sacred, in which he participated in Dota Summit 8 and took 8-9 places. Following this, Matthew took a six-month break in his professional career.

Puente returned in late March 2018, joining Infamous as a captain. Under his leadership, he managed to lead the team to the MDL Changsha Major and China Dota2 Supermajor, but after these tournaments, the team's results began to decline, which forced Matthew to move to Thunder Awaken. The player's only achievement with this tag was participation in The Chongqing Major.

Before the start of the new DPC system, Farih joined NoPing e-sports, with which he managed to win the regional championship and go to WePlay AniMajor, taking 9-12 places in the tournament. In February 2022, Matthew joined Thunder Awaken, where he became a stable participant in international tournaments such as ESL One Stockholm 2022, PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington 2022, and ESL One Malaysia 2022. Throughout his career, it was demonstrated that he is one of the best players in his position.

Thunder Awaken under the leadership of Matthew showed a good result at The International 2022 (TI11), where they managed to take 5-6th place. After such an achievement, many clubs started to be interested in the roster. Among them was the organization Evil Geniuses, which signed the roster of Thunder Awaken. 

In 2023, Matthew together with Evil Geniuses was selected for all Major tournaments. The best result was at ESL One: Berlin Major 2023, where EG placed 4th. She also made it to Riyadh Masters 2023 and took 9th-12th place there. Evil Geniuses had unstable results and after failing at The International 2023 (TI12), where it was 13-16th place, the squad was disbanded.
