Boombl4 returns to IGL role

1WIN's Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov announced via his Telegram channel the return to IGL role, which he became best-known for during his time with NAVI. According to Russian, team's unsatisfactory performance was the reason for this decision.

Boombl4 emphasized that his return to IGL role, which he abandoned after signing with 1WIN, has nothing to do with the performance of Aleksei "NickelBack" Trofimov, the roster's previous skipper.

Our poor results during my time with the team are the responsibility of each of us. We have small roster changes. This has nothing to do with Aleksei's calling. I think that he fulfilled his duties well. The team needed a breath of air and the coaching staff decided to make a change. Somewhere in my heart I am glad, but I will be even happier when we become a strong, disciplined team, where every player/coach fully dedicates himself to the process. Soon I will debut as IGL.

During three months of its existence, 1WIN roster competed mainly at tier 2 tournaments, while also made several unsuccessful attempts to advance to big events. In particular, the Russians participated in the Europe RMR, from which they got eliminated with a scoreline of 1-3.

1WIN's first match with Boombl4 as IGL will play out today, May 6 at 11:30 CET. At BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023 the roster will face Team Spirit Academy.
