In the post TI9 shuffle, HellRaisers returned to the Dota 2 field after two years of absence. However, a month after they announced their roster, HR started to switch players and kept doing so ever since despite an honorable third place at the first Minor of the season.

With a week to go until the regional qualifiers for ESL One Los Angeles Major and the SL-ImbaTV Kyiv Minor, the organization is once again announcing a reformed line-up.  This time around they welcoming three new members to their ranks and a couple of new faces to the competitive scene, including the team coach Aleksandr ”Accell” Litvinenko, who has almost no competitive experience.

HR’s new roster is a mix of young blood and veterans, with Gleb “Funn1k” Lipatnikov headlining the announcement, and Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov most likely to take the captain role from his support 4 position.

“We fell just short of making it to the Minor in the previous qualifiers. Many were upset, but we didn’t give up. Throughout January, we’ve been putting together a lineup and trying different players, which was mostly on Nix, who I fully trust,” said Alex “Magician” Slabukhin in the official HellRaisers roster announcement.

HellRaisers line-up from position 1 to 5:

  •  Alexander “Nix” Levin
  •  Arslan “xannii” Shadjanov
  •  Gleb “Funn1k” Lipatnikov
  •  Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov
  •  Georgiy “Gilgir” Svistunov
  • coach: Aleksandr ”Accell” Litvinenko

The new roster will make its debut last, January 28 at 15:00 CET in the Hainan Master Spring Invitational CIS regional qualifiers.
