HellRaisers have planned on swapping within its Dota 2 roster.

 

In the past few performances of the ongoing EPIC League Season 3, HellRaisers had poor performances against the other top-level competition within the Dota Pro Circuit and has decided to make few additional moves to its roster in Dota 2. 

 

Currently, Bakyt “Zayac” Emilzhanov has joined the team based on the trial. Ivan “VANSKOR” Skorokhod has been recorded on the team’s transfer list. Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk has been moved to hard support.

Zayac had been playing with Virtus.pro from February 3^rd, 2020 thru September 23^rd, 2020. Later followed his captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin and strived with the NoTechies stack in the CIS upper division regional league for the first DPC season. Since the team downgraded, he parted ways with the team and started to explore better opportunities. 

 

As HellRaisers compete for positioning in the EPIC League group stage, the organization’s CEO Oleksii “Magician” Slabukhin mentioned that the recent results weren’t pleasing and has decided to make additional changes into the next DPC regional league season. 

 

Zayac is now a part of the team led by Roman “Resolut1on” Fomynok. The team also involves two more contracted players Zaur “Cooman” Shakhmurzaev and Lil. Although, Nikita “young G” Bochko has been competing with the team as a stand-in since January 23^rd, 2021. She is still listed on Natus Vincere’s inactive roster.

 

Opening Zayac’s preferred position, Lil has moved from position four to playing hard support in position five. 

 

Resolut1on said that the team has sagged a lot in the early-game stage. He said support was needed who could take on that role and be responsible for the game at that stage. He also said that Zayac had a lot of draft experience and would help him to improve in that aspect. He talked to Lil and convinced him to try playing for position five. So, it was decided to replace VANSKOR. He is grateful of VANSKOR for the work they had done together and wishes him good luck and success. 

 

VANSKOR was a little put off by the move but still wishing the team and organization well.

 VANSKOR said that it did not turn out very well a couple of days before the open qualifier. Still, he would wish his former team success. He also said that without work and openness to each other there will neither be success nor team unity.
