HellRaisers to live in Kiev

HellRaisers member Kirill 'ANGE1' Karasiow has revealed in a video log that the entire HellRaisers team will be moving to live in Kiev, Ukraine on May 3rd.

HellRaisers are a team that has struggled in 2015, with their biggest misstep so far being a group stage exit at ESL One Katowice in a group where many judged them to be the team to advance over CLG and Keyd Stars (after NiP of course topped the group).

The Eastern European team suffered another blow when Russian player Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev departed to ultimately don the role of official fifth for regional rivals Na`Vi. Looking to bolster their firepower, the team added another Kazakh veteran, Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov.


ANGE1 has revealed that HR will be moving to Kiev on May 3rd 

However, this team's kryptonite has always been, as long as teammate Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev plays at least, the ping variance produced by the various members living across Ukraine and the CIS region, which makes team practice less effective for HR in general.

The addition of another Kazakh player no doubt looked to provide more headaches for the geographically dispersed team.

These problems can be considered somewhat solved as team leader Kyrylo "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow has revealed in a new video log on HellRaisers' channel that the team will all permanently move to Kiev starting on May 3rd.

The video can be found at this link, which is timestamped to when ANGE1 mentions the above information. English subtitles should be automatically enabled, but if they are not, they can be turned on via the settings button.

A slightly edited paraphrase of ANGE1's comments is found below:

"Our team will move to Kiev permanently starting on the 3rd of May. Instead of bootcamping, we'll prepare for 1-2 months on location before tournaments and depending on tournament schedules. There will also be off-weeks where our team members can go visit their families."

HellRaisers' next event is DreamHack Open Tours in France, where eight teams will battle for $40,000 on May 9-10.

The problem of Hellraisers isn't their skill. They all can make headshots, its their EGO and willingness to commit to hard practice start wise and to learn to not get down during hard-games.

I'm not sure if you are serious, but the 'war' is in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border. The seperatists or whatever you want to call them, will never get even close to Ukraine. The only thing they need to worry about is to not get their plane to Kiev shot down lol

Stupid kids who think they are better then most pros and judge them by their actions. I love to see that HellRaisers are really trying to improve. Instead of the This community and its dubble standard makes me puke on its ugly face it claims to call it self "a fanbase". Like look at Keyd Stars ( hltv.org/news/14852-keyd-stars-open-to-n.. ) and the ammount of positive shit they get (not that they dont deserve it), but they are a 1 tier lower team and have basically in terms of achievement not come far except traveld to get knocked down from any playoff. And when HellRaisers do the same its a "waste of money". I wish HellRaisers the best luck and hope they shut the hole of the new schooling skin addicted kids forever. But I guess its the Internet. Whats more amusing is that the people in this community that can identify with this are low and selfish people who think they know better. There is a reason HellRaisers compete internationally and you not. Flame on, dickheads.
