Ahilles: "Tidebound made a step towards developing the Chinese scene"

1win Team coach Timur Ahilles Kulmuhambetov commented on Team Tidebound’s triumph at Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi. On his personal Telegram channel, he emphasized the significance of this achievement for the Chinese region and shared his thoughts on the team's future.

Ahilles pointed out that despite the success at Clavision, Tidebound still has to face a much tougher challenge at The International. According to him, the fight for the season’s main trophy will involve far fiercer competition.

Tidebound made a step towards developing the Chinese scene. I don't believe in scripts or conspiracies. However, we can’t deny the fact that this victory will be all over the news in China, and there’ll be hype. For this hype to go global — they need to win The International. Do we believe in that? In my opinion, the chances are extremely slim. The big dogs will be going all out for the Aegis, and there’ll be no free rides there

Let us remind you that Tidebound became the champion of Clavision Masters 2025: Snow-Ruyi, defeating Tundra Esports in the grand final with a score of 3-2.
