The recent move of the HellRaisers' organization, bringing in Andrey "B1ad3" Go-rodenskiy as a coach, only confirms that they are fully comitted to the upcoming Dream-Hack Winter and that they are going into it with a high expectations.
HellRaisers are the second team along with Natus Vincere who were representing the CIS scene at the biggest events in the CS:GO community in this year. They can't say that the results have been really amazing, but since the acquisition of Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev we could see a nice improvement in their performance.
HellRaisers had to grab their slot for the last major of this year through the qualifiers. They had comfortable matches against Team Alternate and myXMG and at the last European qualifier and got themselves among the sixteen finest teams of the world.
The recent action of their organization shows how serious they are going into this event. They are now up to the level of other high tier teams which also use coaches. Their choice fell to no-one else other than dAT Team's in-game lead itself, Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy.
Here is a full interview with Andrey Gorodenskiy in which he makes clear of his future role and the expectations of it:
Â
HellRaisers are placed in the group A of DreamHack Winter together with probably the biggest favourites of the whole event, Fnatic and also with North American team, Cloud9 and one of the debutants, Bravado Gaming. They're set to meet Cloud9 in their opening match of the group which format is a small double elimination bracket (also known as GSL), where the team which scores 2 wins qualify for the Playoffs.
