HellRaisers go official

A new eSports organisation has been created under the name HellRaisers and with the former Astana Dragons team playing under their banner.

Earlier in the week, HLTV.org wrote that the former Astana Dragons team would be playing under the name HellRaisers at EMS One Katowice next week, with their sticker having already been included in Valve's latest CS:GO update.

The Ukraine-based team, who recently came in second place in the GSL Cup, had been without an organisation for more than two months after parting company with Astana Dragons in late December by mutual consent.


ex-AD now represent HR 

It has now been revealed that this is not just a one-off thing for the event in Poland after all, as HellRaisers have established themselves as a real organisation thanks to the support of ASUS Russia.

"Hello! We are pleased to announce a new home. That is especially important for us because of 

EMS One Katowice. I note that we are very grateful to the company ASUS, work with which we
wanted for a long time. I think that in combination these factors we are able to start playing at
full potential and return to its former glory. Thanks to everyone who supported us and continues 
to support. Cheers"

"Hello! We are pleased to announce a new home. That is especially important for us because of EMS One Katowice," said Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow.

"We are very grateful to  ASUS, with which we wanted to work for a long time. I think that now we can start living up to our full potential and once again achieve the glory of our past days.

"I would like to thank everyone who has supported us."

HellRaisers' lineup stands as follows:

Kazakhstan Dauren "AdreN" Kystaubayev
Ukraine Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow
Russia Mihail "Dosia" Stolyarov
Ukraine Yegor "markeloff" Markelov 
Ukraine Emil "kucher" Akhundov

ANGE1 said in interview that they were unmotivated without organisation, and they still wanna play with each other. Also he said that they r haven't trained a lot for EMS and he don't even know how they'll play on EMS And if they'll fail they won't disband, because it have no sense

Yes it fits, four of them were once the best team in CS as Virtus.Pro, it was Dosia,AdreN,Kucher,Ange1, and Fox. The only thing they changed was adding Markeloff which was a good choice. They have amazing chemistry man, they just need to use it and get some strats together, they got this man, they know what they're doing wrong and they're going to fix it, all of you dissing on them, these guys are legends and have done more in CS than any of you put together, so keep hating.

"A new eSports organisation has been created under the name HellRaisers" Maybe I'm misinterpreting but it's saying this is a new org made from scratch now called HellRaisers. I'm pretty sure that name is not new, I've seen old 1.6 matches under that name from 2009. markeloff and ANGEL did also play under that name at that time.
