PARIVISION Quickly Find BELCHONOKK Replacement as HObbit Joins Roster

PARIVISION did not delay their rebuild after the failure at IEM Cologne Major 2026. On the same day that Andrey “BELCHONOKK” Yasinskiy was moved to the bench and placed on the transfer list, the organization found his replacement. The new player on the roster is 32-year-old Kazakhstani esports veteran Abay “HObbit” Khassenov.

For now, this is a stand-in arrangement: HObbit will play for PARIVISION at the team’s upcoming tournaments, starting with XSE Pro League 2026 in China. Still, the move looks like a major one. After a disappointing Major, the club needed not just a fifth player, but someone with experience who could quickly fit into the system and bring more stability to the team.

HObbit had been a free agent after ending his time with 1win. He represented the organization from July 2024 to February 2026, before being moved to the bench. On May 1, the player officially left the club.

For PARIVISION, this is an attempt to quickly restart the roster after a painful result in Cologne. The team failed to win a single match in Stage Three of IEM Cologne Major 2026 and currently sits 17th in Valve’s CS2 world ranking.
