1WIN has made another roster adjustment, announcing that Vladislav “lattykk” Vydrin has been moved to the bench. His spot in the active lineup will now be temporarily filled by Stepan “klain” Mukhin, a former academy player who has been promoted as a stand-in. The Russian organization made the official announcement on Wednesday, continuing a series of changes to its lineup in recent months.
This decision follows a wave of modifications within 1WIN’s roster. Earlier in January, the team brought in Sanjar “SANJI” Kuliev as their new head coach and signed Oleg “sh1geo” Stasenko from Aurora Young Blud to take over as the squad’s in-game leader. These changes were part of a restructuring effort that had already seen multiple departures and signings since mid-2024.
The shakeup began in July when Abay “HObbit” Khassenov was signed, which later led to the removal of the trio of Timur “buster” Tulepov, Sanzhar “neaLaN” Iskhakov, and Boris “Ryujin” Kim in October. Shortly after, Rassim “Jyo” Valijev rejoined the organization, only for his second tenure to be cut short at the start of the new year.
Currently sitting at 181st place in the Valve Regional Standings, 1WIN faces the challenge of rebuilding their ranking. They must navigate open qualifiers to earn points and secure invitations to ranked tournaments. Meanwhile, the team is competing in Exort Series #7, an unranked event, where they faced a tough start after suffering a defeat to Preasy in their opening Swiss group stage match.
With lattykk now benched, the latest version of 1WIN’s lineup consists of:
- Abay “HObbit” Khassenov (Kazakhstan)
- Kirill “cronuss” Savin (Russia)
- Alexandr “oz1k” Sevastyanov (Russia)
- Oleg “sh1geo” Stasenko (Russia)
- Stepan “klain” Mukhin (Russia) – Stand-in
- Sanjar “SANJI” Kuliev (Uzbekistan) – Coach
