Hobbit takes over as Gambit IGL

4-2-2018 15:57

Abay "Hobbit" Khasenov has revealed that he has taken over the in-game leader role on Gambit.

The decision follows Gambit's disappointing campaign at ELEAGUE Major Boston, where the PGL Major Krakow champions were sent packing in the New Legends Stage following defeats to Quantum Bellator Fire, SK and fnatic.

Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov had recently taken on the in-game leader role to let Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev "play the way he had played" when Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko was on the roster and be the star of the team", Bektiyar "⁠fitch⁠" Bahytov said while at the Major. But the team's early exit in Atlanta prompted yet another role swap - the third since Zeus left to rejoin Natus Vincere.

Hobbit is Gambit's new IGL

Abay "⁠HObbit⁠" Khassenov, who was named the 11th best player of 2017, averaged a 0.88 rating at ELEAGUE Major Boston - his worst tournament rating since joining Gambit in 2016.

Since the Major, Gambit have been fielding former Na`Vi member Denis "⁠seized⁠" Kostin as their fifth player instead of fitch, but they have yet to comment on the future of the 25-year-old, who joined the team in August, initially on a three-month trial.

. @HObbitcsgo confirmed on his VK page that he assumed IGL role after #ELEAGUEMajor 🧐

He looks like hobbit man

new niko

Late to the party, it was on Reddit 19 hours ago.

as always

yeah, because reddit don't write articles

2018-02-04 16:42

losing 2-0 vs heroic nt

that's why they won't achieve anything

any they just missed easy qualification :7

hObbit looks so cutie

Why tho Let seized do it, he was really good at it in na'vi........... xd

ouoifh god

tier 3 soon

ye 0-2 to heroic

Has Adren been playing on 2nd map or it was 5v4?? Gg Heroic

Too emotional to be igl...

Now remove Dosia & fitch = Ez Major win

2018-02-04 16:00

only -fitch mb

2018-02-04 16:02

but they already -fitch lol

2018-02-05 04:15

Nope. seized only stand in

2018-02-05 11:32

This team is just a mess. They really need a proper leader, cause they have the firepower, but lack structure.

Que ota

2018-02-04 16:01

Goodbye Godbbit :/

It's definitely better to lose to fucking Heroic. Btw it's a pretty good example that having no proper IGL fucks you up whatever fraggers you have. I'm saying this for those who think it will be cool to replace karrigan with a regular fragger. fnatic understood that and picked Golden. But kids will never understand.

well they dont have proper fraggers they have 3 good players and 2 russian bots

why are you still bothering with this bait

2018-02-04 21:14

You can't keep calling it bait when you're the one in the wrong but whatever...

2018-02-04 21:24

its 5 maps you idiot. Thats not enough to determine if a player is good. Hobbit has a .88 during the major, should he be kicked?

2018-02-04 21:26

-fitch +seized

I love the fact that they posted this exactly after the game vs heroic (which they lost 2-0) so that some people didn't know about the fact that it's going to be a change in their playstyle.

new VP? Just let fitch do it. Dont just juggle the role and not give it to their best chance

2018-02-04 16:06

Ez for Hobbit X God

Lol. Braindead kazahs. Kick zeus and can't find any IGL. So stupid

2018-02-04 16:14

ok now kick dosia and seized for buster and qikert

2018-02-04 16:15

yeah sure. without proper igl nothing is going to work

2018-02-04 16:20

thats just wrong lol

GAMBOTS without ZEUS = currencies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011..

wow what a convincing argument navi has done so much better with an igl xdddddddddddd

2018-02-04 17:57

Id love to see them try out starix or even Hooch rather than having their star player igl

2018-02-04 16:17

AdreN HObbit mou Dosia jR

bullshit

2018-02-04 16:21

rofl I thought was Dosia igl

2018-02-04 16:30

If this won't work and they will ruin him as a player they should remove someone and add a IGL,hobbit and adren need to be used at their full potential

2018-02-04 16:32

Fucking add ange1 and u are top1 cis

2018-02-04 16:37

This team is turning into a mess

2018-02-04 17:29

Russian Speakers dont need Igl, just rush B suka blyat

So stupid. Just release dosia and bring ange1 in please.

moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney

I know. It’s sad. But this seems like the best move on paper.

2018-02-04 17:11

agree.

2018-02-04 17:15

I think Dosia is one of the Gambit owners... So thats never gonna happen

Any sources for this? I thought gambit was an Uk based org. Well any way if thats the case i think the core4 of gambit has no problem of finding a new org if the contracts expire.

2018-02-04 17:54

LUL

2018-02-04 17:09

Good luck!

2018-02-04 17:19

RIP Gambit wtf why

2018-02-04 17:28

Why they dont pick up starix? Hes free, hes great leader, instead gambit are switching roles like fucktards while losing to every team except navi

Because starix is not skilled enough to play t1

2018-02-04 17:49

+1 he's garbage just like blade

2018-02-04 18:11

2018-02-04 17:41

2018-02-04 18:30

Can they Win with Hobbit bottom fragging tho? :thinking:

difficult for major winning kazakstaintinople team

2018-02-04 18:44

i hope he wont drop his skills as a iGL GL

2018-02-04 18:56

Major win not a fluke

who cares, they only play the majors and failed qualifiers for other tournaments

2018-02-04 19:49

Why put the guy with biggest fragging potential on IGL =I

2018-02-04 20:25

Stop posting info about tier 7 teams and start posting info about relevant teams ty.

2018-02-04 20:54

kek. said a fan of the player from tier ten team

2018-02-04 23:35

Tier 10 =/= Top 4 at major, top 8 every single LAN they played in since Golden joined ofc Gambot has better results /s. Fnatic even at their worse has better results than Gambot you mad my bro? Even your bro below gave me the +1.

2018-02-05 21:29

cool story BUT fnatic is trash like a navi

2018-02-05 21:30

At least they are good trash, same with Na'vi, Gambot are just trash nothing good about them.

2018-02-05 21:31

sorry but major winner can't be a trash. sorry onemore time, but fnatic is trashbox numba 2. jw = mad pig kinda u can write whatever u want but i don't give a fuck cuz imo. GLHF TO THE FAN OF PIG TEAM

2018-02-05 21:35

major winner can't be trash? ok fnatic has 3 majors, and yes major winner can be trash gambit and astralis are good examples of that atm, both team won a major both team is complete trash. JW I don't care about, never liked him. Last comment is funny when Gambot has a whale in the team like Dosia. It was a decent bait attempt give maybe 2-3/8.

2018-02-05 21:39

2018-02-05 21:41

2018-02-05 07:46

Finallly. Adren is a madfragger Adren made you guys win the major and mou awp

2018-02-04 21:46

Adren got carried the entire major but he was good in finals, Mou and Hobbit were better than him in the major imo but hey Adren is kind of known for being over rated anyway.
