Timofey "interz" Yakushin Joins 1win, Reuniting with HObbit

August 8, 2025 – 1win has officially signed Timofey “interz” Yakushin, marking the end of his eight-month absence from competitive play following his last appearance at the Perfect World Shanghai Major.

A Homecoming with Familiar Faces

Interz re-joins forces with Abay “HObbit” Khassenov, his former teammates from Gambit and Cloud9, who has been on the 1win roster for over a year. The reunion rekindles a long-standing synergy from their time in Gambit, where interz emerged as a key supportive rifler and contributed to the team’s online-era successes — notably winning IEM Katowice 2021.

A Roller-Coaster Career Path

After leaving Gambit for Cloud9, interz and the squad struggled to mirror their online success on LAN. He was released early in 2023. A stint with TSM didn’t produce the results he or the team hoped for, and although he later rejoined Cloud9 mid-2024, the team continued to falter, ultimately leading to their disbandment at the end of the year — leaving interz without a team.

Entering a Rebuilding Phase at 1win

1win currently sits outside the top 100 in both the VRS and HLTV world rankings. They predominantly compete in lower-tier online tournaments and open qualifiers. The current 1win lineup includes:

Abay "HObbit" Khassenov (Kazakhstan)

Vladislav "lattykk" Vydrin (Russia)

Kirill "cronuss" Savin (Russia)

Alexandr "oz1k" Sevastyanov (Russia)

Timofey "interz" Yakushin (Russia)

Ilnar "cau" Galeev (Kazakhstan) – as coach.

Context: 1win’s Team Evolution

Earlier in April 2024, 1win had reshaped their roster around players like buster and neaLaN, after several previous players departed. The addition of interz continues their evolution and may provide a strategic blend of experience and youth, especially paired with HObbit.

Summary

Interz returns to active CS:GO competition after an eight-month hiatus.

He reunites with HObbit, reviving a Gambit-era partnership.

Having struggled to gain traction in Cloud9 and TSM, he now joins a 1win team looking to rebuild.

1win sits outside the top 100 globally, competing mainly in lower-tier events.

The team’s evolving roster and renewed synergy may mark a turning point for their performance.
