The move came as a surprise to many fans, as HObbit returns to top-level competition after spending the last two years with 1win and being absent from tier-one events since his departure from Cloud9 in 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>HObbit tasked with bringing experience<\/h3>\n<p>In their official statement, PARIVISION emphasized that experience was one of the key reasons behind the decision. The organization described the Major winner as a player who understands the pressure of the biggest tournaments and can provide the balance the squad needs.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s CEO also underlined that HObbit\u2019s arrival is intended to strengthen PARIVISION both in the short and long term.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes after Jame and coach Dastan repeatedly pointed to the lack of experience among the team\u2019s riflers as one of the roster\u2019s weaknesses. With HObbit joining the lineup, PARIVISION hope to address that issue ahead of the second half of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The current roster now consists of:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Dzhami \u201cJame\u201d Ali<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Emil \u201cnota\u201d Moskvitin<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Vladislav \u201cxiELO\u201d Lysov<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Ivan \u201czweih\u201d Gogin<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Abay \u201cHObbit\u201d Khassenov<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coach:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">Dastan \u201cdastan\u201d Akbayev<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, BELCHONOKK has been moved to the bench.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/all-pickem-predictions-for-iem-cologne-2026\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Main-x-Name-66.jpg.webp\" alt=\"All Pick\u2019em predictions for IEM Cologne 2026\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/all-pickem-predictions-for-iem-cologne-2026\">All Pick\u2019em predictions for IEM Cologne 2026<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/all-pickem-predictions-for-iem-cologne-2026\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781808740#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781808740#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781808740#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jun 17<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Community divided over the move<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_398496\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-398496\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-398496\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HObbit_at_IEM_Katowice_2023.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HObbit_at_IEM_Katowice_2023.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HObbit_at_IEM_Katowice_2023-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/HObbit_at_IEM_Katowice_2023-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-398496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by liquipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The announcement quickly sparked intense discussion across social media.
