Hashtag bring in ub1que

The Ukrainian side had been expected to undergo changes after using Polivanov as a stand-in in FACEIT's DreamHack Summer pre-qualifier, in which they were eliminated in the second round courtesy of a 14-16 defeat against .no.

After that match, Hashtag decided to make the move official, with the Russian player stepping into the shoes of Roman "z1" Poltavchenko, who was having a hard time to coordinate his personal life with his team affairs.

It is worth noting that Polivanov, who attended Voronezh Cup 2014 with LANKLAN, has played in every StarSeries season that has had Counter-Strike, except for the very last edition of the league.

"The last month was very hard on z1, he could not spend that much time playing and did not fit in the team," Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy told HLTV.org.

"Therefore, we decided to pick ub1que up. He is a very nice and reliable person. The team role that we wanted to fill suits him very well.

"We are extremely motivated and we have a lot of confidence in ourselves. We are convinced that our potential can take us very far."

Meanwhile, the team have decided that they will go by name dAT Team until a new home is found. All organisations interested in supporting this team can contact them by e-mail at [email protected].

dAT Team's lineup is the following:

Konstantin "Pr1zraK" Krivosheev
Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy
 Vlаdуslаv "bondik" Nеchуроrchuk
Georgi "WorldEdit" Yaskin
Alexey "ub1que" Polivanov
