Virtus.proPARIVISION has signed Evgenii "FL1T" Lebedev, replacing HObbit, and reuniting him with former teammates from Outsiders. FL1T's first tournament will be the Esports World Cup.
PARIVISION has confirmed the signing of Evgenii "FL1T" Lebedev, who replaces Abay "HObbit" Khassenov following his stint as a stand-in. With this move, PARIVISION now includes three players from the IEM Rio Major-winning Outsiders roster, as FL1T reunites with Dzhami "Jame" Ali and Dastan "dastan" Akbayev.
FL1T had been on the sidelines since February when Virtus.pro decided to bench and transfer-list most of its players to embark on a rebuilding phase. Over his five years with Virtus.pro, he earned notable titles, including the IEM Rio Major 2022 under the Outsiders banner and ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023, while also achieving a notable 3-4th place finish at the Esports World Cup 2024.
His arrival is timely for PARIVISION, which has seen a lack of experience and frequent mistakes from its rookies throughout the Spring season. PARIVISION's CEO, Andrei Kvasnevsky, expressed confidence in FL1T's abilities, stating, "We are confident that his experience, consistency, and game sense will help the team reach a new level. This is a player who has proven his class on the international stage for many years, and we are delighted that he will now be representing PARIVISION's colors."
HObbit's short spell with PARIVISION was marked by a drive to the finals during the XSE Pro League Guangzhou, where he replaced Andrey "BELCHONOKK" Yasinskiy. Following a rough 0-3 exit from Stage 3 of the IEM Cologne Major, he has now been released and is free to pursue new opportunities.
FL1T's first competitive appearance for PARIVISION will take place at the Esports World Cup, scheduled from August 12-23 in Paris, France, where a significant $2,000,000 prize pool awaits the participants.
The current roster for PARIVISION is as follows: Dzhami "Jame" Ali, Vladislav "xiELO" Lysov, Ivan "zweih" Gogin, Vyacheslav "slaxejezzz" Vinokurov, Evgenii "FL1T" Lebedev, with Dastan "dastan" Akbayev serving as coach, Emil "nota" Moskvitin benched, and Andrey "BELCHONOKK" Yasinskiy on loan to TDK.
