About F_1N

F_1N, 41 years old, whose real name is Ivan Kochugov, was born in Russia on November 1, 1983. He has been a professional Counter Strike e-sports player since 2007.

As a player, F_1N was the ace of virtus.pro (VP), and won the WCG Russian National Championship twice and the Russian Perm Period 2006 offline tournament with the team.

Later, with the release of CS:GO, F_1N chose to retire in 2017 and become a coach.

F_1N helped the Gambit Youngster win MSI MGA2019 as a coach in 2020, and reached the top four with the team in the WePlay! Forge of Masters Season 2.

In 2020, F_1N was promoted to the coach of the Gambit main team. During this spell, he won the CTRL PLAY League with the team.

But in September of the same year, F_1N was once permanently banned by Valve for abusing bugs to cheat. Later, he successfully appealed and was banned for 5 months.

During his ban, F_1N temporarily served as an analyst for Gambit.

After his ban ended, F_1N served as an analyst for Cloud9 (C9) and coach of its academy team in 2022.

In June 2024, F_1N joined PARIVISION and became its Counter Strike 2 team's coach.

During his half-year spell with PARIVISION, F_1N reached the CCT Season 2 European Series 7 Finals with the team and won the runner-up.
