HOBBIT Joins Parivision as belchonok Gets Benched

Parivision have signed Abai 'HOBBIT' Hasenov, benching Dmitry 'belchonok' Repin to make room. The Kazakh veteran joins JAME and a roster of young talent, finally giving the team some proven experience to lean on.

HOBBIT is no stranger to winning at the top level. He was part of the Gambit squad that took the PGL Major Krakow 2017, one of the most dominant major runs in recent CS history. Since then he has bounced around several rosters, but has always been a reliable and experienced presence wherever he lands.

Parivision have been building around JAME and a core of younger CIS players, but the lack of experience around him has been a visible weakness. HOBBIT addresses that directly. Having two major-level veterans in the same lineup should give the team a different ceiling, and JAME now has someone who has been through deep tournament runs to bounce off.

belchonok moves to the bench. No further roster news has been announced.
