HObbit reveals he wants to win more tournaments
/Abai "HObbit" Khasenov, playing for the Cloud9 team, in an interview for the BLIX portal said that he wants to win even more tournaments. The 28-year-old Kazakh esportsman also thanked the fans who helped Cloud9 a lot in winning the last IEM Dallas 2022.
I'm really happy that our first LAN win happened here in Dallas in front of these fans. This is amazing. For the first time in my life I received such support from the audience. Now our team has a lot of fans, which I am very happy about. It's a pleasure to play as Cloud9 as it lifts your spirits. When you kill an opponent and hear the crowd screaming in the hall, you want to do it every round.
It was a very important championship for which we prepared very well. Looking forward to winning another tournament. As I said earlier, our main goal is to become the best team in the world. On the way to this goal, we do not single out for ourselves specific championships that we want to win.
Recall that Cloud9 became the winner of IEM Dallas 2022. In the final of the American championship, the team defeated ENCE with a score of 3:0 and earned $100,000.
