Streamer and former professional Counter-Strike player Mikhail "Dosia" Stolyarov shared his thoughts with Esports.ru regarding Ivan "F_1N" Kochugov's appointment as the coach of the PARIVISION team. Dosia believes that F_1N has the potential to bring significant benefits to the team.
"He's a very experienced coach. I don't know why he was just doing analytics at Cloud9 and not actively involved in the team's life. Before his ban, he was the head coach and essentially led the Gambit squad that we all knew. I think the team will see improvement, but how high they can soar remains to be seen."
Stolyarov also attempted to answer the question of who he considers the strongest player on the professional scene in the first half of 2024, highlighting Danil "donk" Kryshkovets.
"I don't particularly follow the tier-1 scene. I've seen that donk has been showing solid results, with a strong K/D. They won the last BLAST, but before that, they weren't winning much. It's hard to say."
In an interview six months ago, Stolyarov discussed whether he had encountered match-fixing by organisers during his time with Gambit. Remember, Dosia represented the club from 2016 to 2019 and became the champion of PGL Major Krakow 2017.
