PARIVISION Remove BELCHONOKK, Sign HObbit

PARIVISION announced the departure of Andrey “BELCHONOKK” Yasinskiy, who was put on the transfer list on Wednesday, June 17, following the team’s disappointing performance at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major.

PARIVISION decided to make roster changes after failing to live up to expectations in Cologne, where the Russian Counter-Strike 2 team failed to win a single series.

Having qualified for the Major as a Stage 3 invite, PARIVISION were expected to make some noise on the big stage. But despite having a relatively soft schedule, they failed to leave a lasting mark.

In Stage 3 of the Major, PARIVISION lost all three of their games against 9z Team, Monte, and Legacy, winning just 75 rounds over eight maps played.

While PARIVISION struggled as a unit, averaging the stage’s second-lowest performance rating of 0.92, BELCHONOKK stood out for the wrong reasons.

The 22-year-old posted a 0.80 rating over eight maps played, along with a -37 kill/death difference.

BELCHONOKK’s subpar individual performances, however, extend beyond the Major. Since joining PARIVISION, he has averaged a 1.07 performance rating, but his form dropped significantly over the last three months to 0.90.

The roster changes do not come as a surprise, as PARIVISION had already been struggling for results before the IEM Cologne Major.

Following a runner-up finish at PGL Cluj-Napoca and a semifinal run at BLAST Open Spring, PARIVISION slowed down significantly and suffered early eliminations from PGL Bucharest, PGL Astana, and CS Asia Championships.

During that dry streak, PARIVISION coach Dastan “dastan” Akbayev commented that changes were likely to happen, but not until after the Major.

BELCHONOKK is the first player to leave the active lineup, with no further changes currently announced.

To fill the gap, PARIVISION revealed veteran Abay “HObbit” Khassenov as their newest signing.

HObbit joins PARIVISION as a free agent, having last played for 1w Team before his benching in February.

With HObbit joining the roster, PARIVISION now have a complete lineup ahead of their next competitive endeavour at XSE Pro League 2026, which is set to kick off on July 1.
