HOTU have announced the signing of Aleksandr “dwushka” Pakhnevich, who has become the final player in the team’s starting five. With this move, the Russian organization has completed the roster rebuild that began back in April after the departures of Suleyman “dukefissura” Orazaly and Altair “kAlash” Askarov.
The updated roster has already achieved its first success with dwushka. The player represented HOTU at the regional LAN tournament 1xBet FRAG Season 17, where the team managed to claim the championship title. This result became an important step for the lineup after a series of roster changes.
HOTU decided to rebuild the roster after their appearance at IEM Rio 2026. It was only the organization’s third Big Event in history, but the team was unable to make a deep run at the tournament. HOTU ended their campaign with one series victory against Legacy.
After that, HOTU moved dukefissura and kAlash out of the lineup and also brought back Aidos “kade0” Khairzhan, who had represented the team for most of 2025. The final piece of the renewed roster became dwushka.
The 21-year-old rifler previously played for VP.Prodigy, FORZE Reload, Insilio, and Bebop. He stood out most notably in Bebop, where in 2026 he recorded the team’s highest rating - 1.20 across European online tournaments, including CCT Europe Series.
Current HOTU roster:
David “n0rb3r7” Danielyan
Dmitry “mizu” Kondratev
Kim “frontales” Argunov
Aidos “kade0” Khairzhan
Aleksandr “dwushka” Pakhnevich
Rustem “mou” Telepov (coach)
