1WIN sign Boombl4, hooch

15-2-2023 17:00

Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov has also put pen to paper after playing with the team since the beginning of the year.

1win, who recently announced the signing of Igor "⁠Forester⁠" Bezotecheskiy on a transfer from Entropiq, have now put pen to paper and secured the final pieces of their roster after parting ways with Aleksandr "⁠glowiing⁠" Matsievich.

Former Natus Vincere in-game leader Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov joins the Russian side along with coach Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov, while NickelBack will remain onboard after playing two series with the team in January.

Boombl4 will start a new chapter in his career in 1WIN

This signing is the much awaited return of Boombl4, who was sidelined from Natus Vincere mid-2022 because the Ukrainian organization did not want to put its reputation at risk in a row between the player and his then wife that was dragged into the public square by the latter.

The Major champion will join forces with coach hooch in the tactical department, while the coach himself is reuniting with two of his former Entropiq players, Forester and NickelBack. The recently signed trio and the new skipper make up a major overhaul of the former lineup with only star AWPer Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov and Aleksandr "⁠TRAVIS⁠" Timkiv remaining from the previous iteration of the roster.

glowiing leaves 1WIN

The Russian side started the year on the right foot before all of the changes came through and are currently set to play the ESL Challenger League upper bracket quarter-finals after victories over Believe and Sprout in the first two rounds of the bracket.

Their next ECL match is slated for March 7 at 19:00 against Endpoint, a team that is rumored to be losing one of its star players, Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz, to ENCE in the coming days. They will also be playing the BLAST.tv Paris Major's European RMR closed qualifier on February 16-19.

1win is now:

Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov
Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov
Igor "⁠Forester⁠" Bezotecheskiy
Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov
Aleksandr "⁠TRAVIS⁠" Timkiv

Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov (coach)

awesome

2023-02-15 18:36

Forrester was a very good rifler throughout his tenure in entropiq. Travis as well has had a solid rating in 1win.

2023-02-15 20:38

12 iq?

2023-02-16 11:08

hltv.org/matches/2361933/1win-vs-viperio.. average rating of bottom 4 = 0.93 LOL and that is against tier 4. i assume you have -45iq then or just average russian brain?

2023-02-16 19:23

sad that train is no longer in the map pool. I just loved boom on that map he always did insane zeus plays I remember

2023-02-16 12:12

very cool

decent line up on paper but a year more wasted for deko if it doesnt work

2023-02-15 17:15

Deko deserves to have a year more wasted for his behavior

2023-02-15 17:24

what he do?

2023-02-15 17:27

Very toxic, a lot of hate speech in his stream

mykola, go watch his official teamspeaks, not the streams

Nickelback is IGL boom wants to star rifle

really? well ill be damned i wanna see that too.

2023-02-15 17:05

He was a star rifler before navi and a good one at that. I think he can pull it of again.

Wtf really?

Yes

im assuming boombla's purpose is to bring b1ad3's system to 1win or some shit if he wants to be star :/

2023-02-15 17:13

+1. Good to see him play again. I hope he is not washed after the long break from tier 1 cs.

he isn't igling for 1win. I think Nickelback is igl

2023-02-15 17:07

#25 told me yeah im suprised but still good for boomy.

+1 question of the decade........

2023-02-15 17:33

2023-02-15 17:08

2023-02-15 18:34

1Win I believe have been borderline Top 20 from time to time with worse individuals , this is a decent that can become Tier 1

2023-02-16 15:09

4 out of 5 are definitely tier 1. Dunno about Travis though

THE BOOM IS BACKKKK

1WIN will humble navi

2023-02-15 17:30

amazing team

2023-02-15 17:32

Another probable T1 team from CIS.

doubt it. deko to toxic boom kinda washed mid tier2 i'd say.

2023-02-15 17:35

Have you heard a single 1w teamspeak to claim that deko is toxic? I've heard. And he never showed any toxicity. He always encourages and inspires the team, talks to his teammates a lot, communicates well. Aren't you tired of making conclusions based on faceit clips?

2023-02-15 17:45

bro this kid is constantly raging when he dies. doesn't matter if hes doin it on teamspeak or faceit while streaming. just look at him he thinks hes some anime character. and why u complaion? mid tier2 is still good. its a top8 at major basically.

2023-02-15 19:10

My conclusion is that you can't be part-time idiot - you either have it or you don't.

2023-02-16 00:38

Dyadya mitya is a lucky guy, major qualify is gonna be ez for 1win

Nice! GL, Boombl4!

2023-02-15 17:34

2023-02-15 17:38

gl big boom

actual top 20 potential

I love lord boombl4 but I don't want toxic kid deko to win

he IS NOT TOXIC, all his "toxic" are jokes.

2023-02-15 17:55

top 20 soon???

weak roster

2023-02-15 17:48

Strong roster but could be stronger.

2023-02-16 15:10

weaker than navi c9 vp and spirit so nothing changes really even on "cis" ranking

2023-02-16 15:47

Having boom as anything other than an IGL is a waste. His IGL'ing is what brought Na'Vi to the top.

2023-02-15 17:58

Booooooomich

bjoooooooooma lets geeooooooooooo

2023-02-15 18:01

2023-02-15 19:04

i wonder if this time ex navi player could pull redemption story seized and flamie couldnt

2023-02-15 19:08

Boombl4⁠ deserves better team

2023-02-15 19:09

Interesting team. GL boombl4

This could be really strong team Boombla was good rifler in qbf and winstrike times Travis 1,11 rating last 3 months Forester best entropiq player deko is deko, u all know how good he is And nickelback with hooch working together for a long time already

2023-02-15 19:14

Nice, I'm very happy to see bommby

Great to see an org finally pick Boombl4 up after NaVi chose to abandon him at his lowest moment. I'll have to wait and see how this team goes!

2023-02-15 19:28

Instead of bet-boom this? Lolbl4

Nickel's and Forester's age in the past. Travis isnt top player. Only 1 prospect in the team will not work in t1 scene, i guess stable top25 for this roster. They should build a young team around boombla and deko.

2023-02-15 19:32

BIG BOOM

2023-02-15 19:36

Meh not gonna see results midWIN

2023-02-15 19:44

not bad in paper but not scary enough

2023-02-15 19:54

Top20 will be the peak of their career

2023-02-15 20:02

2 IGL's w/o aim,sick move

2023-02-15 20:28

1win continues to be retirement home for navi players!

This team will beat Navi in a few months mark my words

2023-02-15 20:55

nice, finally big boom is back

2023-02-15 20:56

guaranteed top10 for the notorious adult film company 1WIN

2023-02-15 21:34

poor boombl4 after carrying his toxic star player and toxic wife, now he has to carry a toxic awp player

2023-02-15 21:44

*carry a toxic awp player AGAIN Also deko cutie AYAYA

2023-02-15 22:53

Yipee

2023-02-15 23:07

question who tf igling booml4 or nickleback

cool cool

2023-02-16 00:21

Glad to see the big BOOM back in action, but man, I hope he can return to Na'Vi one day again as they really need him back. No offense against electronic, but his performance is taking a dip as IGL and they're suffering because of it. But alas, I guess that is just wishful thinking as a Na'Vi fan.

2023-02-16 00:50

Can’t wait until when deko gets put on the transfer list again

2023-02-16 01:07

Welcome back

2023-02-16 02:09

T1 team for me

2023-02-16 02:10

Nickelback is left out of the headline? Reported.

2023-02-16 02:21

Big Boom back, Big W

2023-02-16 02:28

should get into top20 if boombl4 plays well

2023-02-16 02:36

the truth = boom + 4 washed randoms

2023-02-16 03:06

Actually not a bad team. Boombl4 have proved to be a monster in lower tier matches, deko one of the biggest talent in CIS, and other solid tier 2 players. Solid top 20 team, and might even go tier 1.5 if things go well

2023-02-16 05:27

GO TOP 1 DEKOGOD

2023-02-16 07:09

Omg i am going to hate this team so much.

2023-02-16 07:44

deko + random4 mixs

2023-02-16 12:16

Those huge jerseys they used during the rmr will fit boom perfectly. They were just planning in advance

2023-02-16 13:46

Boombl4 next major winner

2023-02-16 15:12

Good to see the long awaited Big Boom comeback. The team looks good tbh but I kinda feel maybe having both Nickelback and Boom in the team can be a bit tad less firepower. Could have gone even better with -nickleback +some young rifler. Perhaps Hooch being there can work in the favor of keeping Nickelback as IGL , History and all that. BUT LETS GO , BOOMICH IS BACK BABY
