According to unofficial reports, former Cloud9 member Abay "HObbit" Khasenov is set to continue his career with the 1WIN roster for Counter-Strike 2. This was reported by Esports.ru, citing its sources. It is unknown who Abay will replace in the team.
To recall, on April 22nd, HObbit left Cloud9's active roster alongside Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy. Since then, the Kazakhstani esports player has been on the bench of the American club.
Last month, a fan asked Khasenov when he plans to return to competitive play – he stated that he had already started considering various options. Additionally, a few days ago, HObbit posted on social media "CS2 soon...", which fans interpreted as a hint at his imminent return to the pro scene.
In April of this year, 1WIN unveiled their new Counter-Strike 2 roster, which includes players from Kazakhstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, and Estonia.
