Daxak and HellRaisers parted ways

HellRaisers became the latest team to do a roster change despite the team qualifying for the Lima Major. Even though the roster shuffle has concluded, HellRaisers and their carry player Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin have reported parted ways.

Due to this, HellRaisers will be going through a 15% penalty furthermore if they use a sub at the Major, and they will lose a 40% penalty on top of the 15% penalty for removing the player.

The Situation 

HellRaisers displayed a strong performance in the Western Europe Winter Tour. However, they lost to Team Spirit and BetBoom, and with a score of 5 win(s) and 2 loss(es), the team qualified for the Lima Major. A week after the team qualified for the Major, the team posted a Tweet stating the team goes first as they say goodbye to Daxak which confused many fans.

A report indicated that there were some internal conflicts within the team that eventually led to Daxak being removed from the team. Daxak however said that this was a “funny situation”  regarding the statement that it wasn’t a kick but rather parting ways.

He also continued on to say that he was told to be cautious about playing with the HellRaisers. In a statement posted by him on a Telegram channel, although he took some light-hearted jabs at the team about the situation, he accepted it calmly and promised to explain everything on stream to clarify his perspective and “defend his point of view”.

I'm not going to major

A fun situation (MB didn’t say not to go to xp for nothing), but I proved my position to Enivey and I think that I can be proud of the work I did

Not everything in our life goes the way we want.

As soon as I restore decency in the game, I’ll stream it and tell you in more detail what happened / on some view I’ll say what and how, so that there are no understatements, and everything is very clear (from my pov)

in short -

Possibilities for HellRaisers

HellRaisers have yet to announce who will be filling the vacant position left by Daxak. Currently, in their tournament run at BetBoom Universe, Alik "V-Tune" Vorobey is playing with the team as a standin for the vacant position. There were also rumors about the team being in talks with the former Nigma Galaxy carry player Igor "iLTW" Filatov.
