The story of HObbit

Abay “HObbit” Khasenov started as the youngest semi-pro in Kazakhstan to joining his favorite organization.

This is his story.

The now 28-year-old Kazakhstani has for a long time in his career used to being underestimated. When he won a Major, all anyone could talk about was his in-game leader at the time, Danylo “Zeus” Teslenko. Then, after the Major-winning Gambit squad fell apart, most experts and CS:GO fans wrote HObbit off for good. And even after a brand new Gambit began to win everything during CS:GO’s online era, his role in the team’s success was still being questioned. But, HObbit was ready to prove everyone wrong.
