HellRaisers has officially announced that OG’s carry player Artem "Yuragi" Golubiev will be joining the team as a stand-in for the upcoming Lima Major in Peru. Following the controversial departure of Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin, HellRaisers were forced to scramble to find a suitable carry for their upcoming trip.
While the organization have been seen trialing players such as former NAVI carry player Alik "V-Tune" Vorobey as well former Nigma Galaxy carry Igor "iLTW" Filatov in the BetBoom Universe: Episode I - Comics Zone tournament, the organization ultimately decided to borrow OG’s young superstar carry for the Major.
Yuragi joins HellRaisers to Peru
What could be better than a Major winner in the team? Exactly! Two Major winners in the team ☝🏻 @Yuragii1 will join Solo on the safe lane as a stand-in during the Lima Major. Kudos to @OGesports for cooperation 👊🏻 HellRaisers wrote in its announcement post on Twitter.
Here is HellRaisers’s confirmed roster for the Lima Major 2023:
Artem "Yuragi" Golubiev
Gleb “depressed kid” Zyryanov
Matvey “MieRo” `Vasyunin
Vladislav “Antares” Kertman
Alexey “Solo” Berezin
While HellRaisers were able to qualify for the Lima Major as the third representative from Eastern Europe (EEU), the team had internal issues which ultimately led to the controversial departure of Daxak. While Daxak was initially offered to attend the Major due to his contributions during the Dota Pro Circuit, he was removed from the roster due to allegedly lacking motivation.
The team initially attempted to trial certain free agents such as former NAVI carry, V-Tune as well as iLTW. However, things started to change when HellRaisers were linked with former Darkside carry Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev as well as Yuragi.
However, HellRaisers ultimately opted for the young OG superstar as the player’s playstyle perfectly suited the team’s requirements. Additionally, the team chemistry is perfectly balanced as there won’t be any language barrier.
OG were more than happy to allow Yuragi leave on loan, as the team will not be playing in the Major after a grueling tiebreaker in the Western Europe (WEU) DPC saw them denied the opportunity to go to the Major. Additionally, this allows Yuragi to stay in shape for the upcoming Spring Tour.
