HellRaisers is retooling its Counter-Strike roster with a couple of familiar faces. Tomáš “Oskar” Šťastný and coach Sergey “LMBT” Bezhanov will be making their return to HellRaisers after spending three years with Mousesports.
“HellRaisers was the first team that showed interest in me, and I really like ANGE1,” Oskar said in the team’s announcement. “I wasn’t sure at first though because I really needed a break from CS, but eventually, I decided to sign for a short period.” The veteran AWPer might have wanted a break after the lackluster performances he and Mousesports had gone through since 2017.
Meanwhile, coach LMBT is also enthusiastic about his return to HellRaisers. “I’m sure we will share the best of our experience with the boys to reach new heights,” LMBT said. He was the former coach for Mousesports from 2016 to 2018, with his last big tournament win coming at ESL One New York 2018.
While Oskar and LMBT are joining the team, there are a few players that will be stepping back from the HellRaisers roster as well. Bence “DeadFox” Böröcz has been officially placed on the team’s inactive list and their old coach, Amiran “ami” Rekhviashvili, has been released.
DeadFox has been with HellRaisers since 2016, but they haven’t been able to accomplish too much at international tournaments. Adding the firepower of Oskar to a team with Kirill “ANGE1” Karasiow and Issa “ISSAA” Murad should be exciting to watch. But the team is still looking for one more player to complete their five-man roster.
