1WIN announce new roster with buster, neaLaN

5-4-2024 15:48

The Russian organization has constructed a new roster around the experienced Kazakhstani duo.

buster has found a new home after spending the better part of a year on Cloud9's bench

1win have announced their new roster, featuring the likes of Sanzhar "⁠neaLaN⁠" Iskhakov and Timur "⁠buster⁠" Tulepov, after their previous lineup departed for new pastures over the latter stages of 2023.

Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov transferred to Cloud9, Denis "⁠deko⁠" Zhukov and coach Dmitry "⁠hooch⁠" Bogdanov left for Aurora, whilst Aleksandr "⁠TRAVIS⁠" Timkiv, Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov and Igor "⁠Forester⁠" Bezotecheskiy went on to become the core of AMKAL.

The most well-known names on 1win's new roster are buster and neaLaN, as the Kazakhstani duo have represented squads playing on the international circuit in the recent past.

buster played for Virtus.pro alongside the likes of Dzhami "⁠Jame⁠" Ali beginning in late 2019, but was benched mid-way through 2022 as the Russian squad sought to refresh their roster. He briefly featured for Cloud9 in the early stages of 2023 as they sought an upgrade for Timofey "⁠interz⁠" Yakushin, but the move did not work out and he was soon benched as the team brought in Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov and Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy.

neaLaN made his name playing for CIS sides like Syman and K23, taking the former to the StarLadder Major 2019, before Evil Geniuses made the surprise decision to install him as their IGL in 2022. After a fruitless period with the NA org ended in July 2023, neaLaN had a brief stint as Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek's replacement in GamerLegion, but the partnership went poorly and he quickly made way for Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski.

neaLaN: "My year in EG was one of the best for me"

Supplementing the experience of the aforementioned pair are younger talents Vladislav "⁠lattykk⁠" Vydrin and Boris "⁠Ryujin⁠" Kim.

lattykk began his career playing for academy squads NAVI Junior and VP.Prodigy before joining Aurora in 2023, where he helped the team win several CCT events over the year and establish themselves at the top of the tier two scene. He was replaced by deko, one of tier two's premier AWPers, late last year.

Ryujin spent the first four years of his career turning out for ARCRED, where he firmly established himself as the best player on the team. Over the course of 2023 the rifler came into his own, posting 1.15 rating and 1.18 impact rating over the year playing in online competitions.

Rounding out the lineup is Estonian journeyman Rassim "⁠Jyo⁠" Valijev, who has spent his recent career bouncing between squads like K23, Nemiga and sYnck.

1win are:

Timur "⁠buster⁠" Tulepov
Sanzhar "⁠neaLaN⁠" Iskhakov
Vladislav "⁠lattykk⁠" Vydrin
Boris "⁠Ryujin⁠" Kim
Rassim "⁠Jyo⁠" Valijev

Aset "⁠Solaar⁠" Sembiyev (coach)

kazakhstan is both in europe and asia just like russia, it’s split like 20/80 so 4 asian players and 4 european players at the same time, with only jyo and ryujin being unambiguous

2024-04-05 17:09

That means it’s a deep region?

2024-04-05 16:36

Forze before disband was #10 cis and #36 world rating

2024-04-05 17:15

Most of forze’s points were from really old but very impactful events though

2024-04-05 17:36

That’s fine considering the (presumably low) price of these players

2024-04-05 18:17

below mid at the best

Asian RMR contender

It would be smart to play in Asia.

3 central Asians I'm pretty sure they can. If Vitaility got Jks they could play in the Asian RMR too.

2024-04-05 16:32

for some dumb reason, Kazakhstan is lumped with EU instead of Asia for the RMRs. It's the only central asian country labeled like this, do note.

2024-04-05 16:34

the only logical reason that comes to my mind is because a small part of our country is located in Europe, while other central asian countries are entirely in asia.

2024-04-05 16:38

thats fair, especialy if you consider that the "small" part you mentioned is bigger than a lot of european countries.

2024-04-05 17:35

no it is not

2024-04-05 17:45

In a quick search one can find that Kazhakhstan have about 108,996 km2 of its land mass in Europe. I'm certain that there are a lot of coutries in said continet with way less total land mass than that.

2024-04-05 22:53

yes it is

2024-04-06 00:25

by that logic c9 should play asian rmr and shit

2024-04-05 18:40

In my reasoning, there should be no reasons for them not to be allowed if they wanted to, geographically speaking.

2024-04-05 22:46

Because their connection with Russia and EU is stronger than that with Asia.

2024-04-06 14:13

Can they tho?

2024-04-05 17:04

It looks like they can't #64

2024-04-05 17:31

recycling same players over and over oh and btw buster is shit xD

2024-04-05 15:52

Ryujin wasting his talent in there, FeelsBad

+1 but still a step forward from arcred

2024-04-05 15:54

if nealan doesn't shit the bed this actually looks promising for entering top 30

2024-04-05 15:57

that’d be great so Ryujin can have a high chance of getting poached by a better team that he deserves

i have no idea how he managed to stay on arcred for 4 years..

2024-04-05 16:28

poor Lattykk

2024-04-05 15:53

I hope nealan can show how much of a good IGL he is, but with ryujin as the only carry player on this team, irs going to be rough. You have 2 support players in lattykk and buster, I'm confused as to how the roles work out on this roster, perhaps lattykk will be fully utilized unlike when he was on aurora, but even then, his awping ability wasn't great. This team is all about whether nealan can get ryujin to carry it looks like.

Seriously?

if lattykk and nealan go crazy this team might do damage in tier2 ngl

actually looks very interesting like a 3.1 version of K23 where neaLaN called pretty decent.

2024-04-05 15:55

neaLaN my goat is back

Nice Asian line-up

2024-04-05 15:59

decent tier 2 CIS team, could see them surprise for a major

UZBEKI DOMINATION

2024-04-05 16:13

these players have been gone for a long time definitely top tier 2 material here

2024-04-05 16:15

Not bad

2024-04-05 16:19

>The jokes are over. I'm laughing.

2024-04-05 16:20

Buster 24 yo wtf mens

2024-04-05 16:21

Latykk and Nealan are the only 2 good players in this roster

2024-04-05 16:22

Ryujin clears

another nealan roster = another failed project

2024-04-05 16:25

Why no SANJI I would biggest fan of his revenge arc

2024-04-05 16:26

And major final against Jame

Where SANJI outaim him in the head 1 by 1 with a low hp in the last OT round

2024-04-05 16:30

sanji retired :( i cry every time

2024-04-05 16:31

Wtf this team is shit, only nealaN and maybe Lattykk

farm asia rmr???

Let's be honest this team is worse than Mongolz , Lynn Vision and Flyquest so who exactly are they farming?

gambling sponsors, oh wait valve about to nuke them

#85

2024-04-05 17:08

Ryujin is that an Itzy reference?

2024-04-05 16:29

good for nealan honestly not so sure about lattyk tho

Tier-3, disband in a year or less

will they compete in Asia region?

Not unless Valve redo the regions, Kazakhstan is listed as a country that plays in the European qualifiers.

Jyo and Ryujin are interesting players, but I feel like Bot Buster and Bot Lattyk will drag this team down.

2024-04-05 16:37

lol

damn lattykk needs a better team, jyo and solar are already bad for t2-3 level, ryujin is bad cuz his whole experience is 322 arcred with that xsou guy who was just farming his salary, you need to teach this guy how to play from the start, buster who was pretty good before, bur now cs for him is not the main thing(he has a baby born a week ago), and nealan who was always one step before good player. Lattykk is the only one who proved his level in aurora, i mean he had a bad period in summer, but when cs2 came he has returned(it was like 1.10-1.20 ratio for him) but that poor org aurora decided that the problem is him(not Lack1 with 0.9 ratio)

2024-04-05 16:41

The jokes aren’t over, they’re only just beginning

i dont like it

2024-04-05 16:44

2024-04-05 16:51

good luck

2024-04-05 16:52

Ez Shanghai major through Asian rmr

they've had it for months already

2024-04-05 17:20

omg tier33

2024-04-05 17:27

They missed sanji

2024-04-05 17:32

yknow thats not bad at all, good team to keep an eye on

2024-04-05 17:37

Love the Team cause of the hairstyles, too much drip in one team

2024-04-05 17:48

Looks good

inst jyo know for cheating/322 involved matches? also why don’t sign interz

2024-04-05 17:55

could be good, but could also be a waste of lattyk's and ryujin's talent lol idk why buster is still playing considering he has crazy numbers on twitch, he might not be motivated to grind lol

2024-04-05 18:11

I don't get that team, like at all

2024-04-05 18:20

gl neaLAN

2024-04-05 18:21

asian team in my book.

2024-04-05 18:24

looks like a K23 roster

2024-04-05 18:41

not bad. Hope neaLan gets back on track. I like him

2024-04-05 18:47

decent roster for throwing pinnacle cups.

2024-04-05 18:51

Idc what people might say this is a solid roster, Nealan and Buster are a decent « young but experienced » age. I think Nealan deserves a real chance as an IGL away from that EG mess. Lattyk and Ryujin are decent youngsters who 1Win are trying to invest in now… Jyo is kinda old now ngl but I remember him looking really good on Nemiga at times? Might work out?

2024-04-05 18:54

2024-04-05 19:01

From tier 1.5 roster to tier 15 roster

2024-04-05 19:17

wtf xD

2024-04-05 19:21

no sanji no care

2024-04-05 20:00

Buster is back, baby!!

2024-04-05 20:02

1BOT

2024-04-05 23:12

never trust someone who said their year with EG was one of the best

Buster in 2024? The guy has spent like 1.5 years on the bench during last 2 years. And barely 1.0 rating awper. Very budget team even by CIS standards.
