It’s been over a week since HellRaisers announced they’re parting ways with their hard-carry player Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin. The announcement was made just a few weeks before the start of the Lima Major.

The news came as a surprise to everyone since HellRaisers qualified for the Lima Major. At the time of the fallout, Daxak commented on his departure as “ a funny situation” and he promised to give a detailed explanation at a later time either on stream or some other way, he also make a few light jabs at the team.

However, in a recent interview, Daxak holds nothing back about his departure.

Bridges Burned

In the exclusive interview with escore news, Daxak commented on his recent departure from the team because of their difference in in-game philosophy contributing to a toxic team environment.

Although at the time of his departure, many sources believed that the fallout was because he disagreed with the team’s captain or a coach, Daxak stated that it was with both with who he had disagreements.

Juicy Details

Firstly, Daxak detailed the problem he had with the team’s coach Aleksandr "Nofear" Churochkin saying that Nofear had a poor work ethic, and made a lot of empty promises while also having a poor understanding of the game.

He also stated on multiple occasions, Nofear would take notes of his remarks just to repeat the same mistakes. Despite that, Daxak concluded that Nofear had improved as a coach during their brief time working together.

Daxak also continued to callout on Alexey "Solo" Berezin's carefree attitude as the team’s captain. According to Daxak, Solo didn’t listen to anyone and refused to explain his ideas. He also didn’t take any input during drafts and didn’t work along with his younger teammates.

Fallout

Daxak also continued to say that he didn’t like the team atmosphere overall because some have bad sleep schedules and some didn’t take pubs seriously.

Despite the issues,  HellRaisers qualified for the first Dota 2 Major and Daxak decided that it was time to address the issues but other members of the team weren’t on the same page as him. The team believed removing Daxak would be a much better choice.

In the end, Daxak confronted HellRaisers with the ultimatum. The team proceed with Nofear and Solo but offered to play with Daxak for the Lima Major. Even though Daxak agreed to the offer, HellRaisers decided to back off from the proposition.
