HellRaisers disband

The organization is in the process of putting together a new roster after parting ways with their former squad.

HellRaisers have announced the disbandment of the roster around Nikolaj "⁠kalinka⁠" Rysakov. The Lithuanian player and coach Rustam "⁠TsaGa⁠" Tsagolov have parted ways with the organization, while Dmitriy "⁠ProbLeM⁠" Martinov, Vadim "⁠Flarich⁠" Karetin, and Nikita "⁠JIaYm⁠" Panyushkin have been transfer-listed.

The decision follows a period of uncertainty around the European roster, who have been missing a permanent fifth player since February, when Guy "⁠anarkez⁠" Trachtman's trial with the team ended unsuccessfully after just one month. In the meantime, HellRaisers played out the rest of their matches in ESEA Premier with Kirill "⁠Gospadarov⁠" Gospadarov and were also seen playing with Bogdan "⁠xsepower⁠" Chernikov and Nikita "⁠nitzie⁠" Prokhorov in other tournaments.

HellRaisers' roster disbands

In the announcement, the organization's CEO, Alex "Magician" Slabukhin, revealed that a new roster is currently being put together and that more updates on the process, as well as the reasoning behind the disbandment of their former squad, will be released in the near future.

HellRaisers had fielded the core of this roster for close to a year. They overhauled their CS:GO division last April, retaining only Flarich from the team formerly led by Kyrylo "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow as they brought in kalinka, ProbLeM, JIaYm, TsaGa, and Dmytro "⁠jR⁠" Chervak.

That lineup worked its way up to the brink of the top 30 in the HLTV.org ranking within a few months but went on to stagnate towards the end of 2020, before they benched their in-game leader and AWPer, jR. kalinka took over leadership afterwards, but the team was unable to find a permanent AWPer.

The following quartet remains contracted to HellRaisers:

Latvia Vadim "⁠Flarich⁠" Karetin (transfer listed)
Russia Nikita "⁠JIaYm⁠" Panyushkin (transfer listed)
Russia Dmitriy "⁠ProbLeM⁠" Martinov (transfer listed)
Ukraine Dmytro "⁠jR⁠" Chervak (transfer listed)

Most likely was HR. Can't think of any other "respectful and successful" CIS org from the top of my head. Maybe if Vega wanted to rejoin CS since their team is "paused". Or like Team Empire and other orgs that didn't have CS teams for years and years now but still active in other games, but that's very unlikely.

I am interested what will they bring to the table now. It was obvious since day one that this team won't reach what they wanted (stable T2 team). They were hit or miss and lacked at least one star. Some of the players were decent for no. 3-4 positions within T2/3 team imo. Someone should hire guardian just for the lulz and give him some usefull youngsters to play with.
