Counter-Strike: HellRaisers loses three

By: Luis Mira - Published July 19, 2008 at 4:57 PM EDT - Writer Archive
HellRaisers has confirmed the departure of three players.
The Ukrainian team, who managed a respectable 5th-8th place finish at KODE5, was reported to be looking for a new home, one which could provide greater financial support.

However, it has now been confirmed that it has lost three of its players: Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow, Valentin "valentiniCh" Kravchenko and Yegor "markeloff" Markelov.

Markelov will reportedly join Amazing Gaming after GameGune to play for the squad at the local WCG qualifier as Dmitri "hooch" Bogdanov is ineligible to compete for the Ukrainian team for being Russian.

As for Karasiow and Kravchenko, they have both joined the ranks of DTS, who now also features former pro100 member Ievgen "kekc" Petrukhno.

"After the latest tournaments, we had some internal problems and we could not find any sponsor to finance us, then a conflict sparked with our management, who had promised me they would find a sponsor in 1-2 months," Karasiow told GotFrag.com.

"Even after DTS and KODE5 I had to spend my own money for travelling, devices, time in internet cafes, etc. Then I had two offers, one from A-Gaming and the other from DTS.

"A-Gaming wanted me to play WCG for them because hooch is Russian and can't thus play with them but DTS made me an offer with conditions that were too good for me to turn down."

DTS has now the following team:

Ukraine Kirill "ANGE1" Karasiow
Ukraine Valentin "valentiniCh" Kravchenko
Ukraine Ievgen "kekc" Petrukhno
Ukraine Egor "pops" Zinoviev
Ukraine Sergey "Emelikk" Lebedev

The new HellRaisers team is as follows:

Ukraine Ivan "Johnta" Shevcov
Ukraine Volodimyr "Bastik" Derunov
Ukraine Elnur "KENNY" Tagiev
Ukraine volt
Ukraine dimi4
