9Pandas Esports signs former HellRaisers line-up

The esports organization 9Pandas Esports has announced the signing of the entire former HellRaisers Dota 2 line-up. The team will make its debut under the new organization at the Berlin Major.

Serbian organization 9Pandas Esports signed the former HellRaisers line-up just ahead of the start of the ESL One Berlin Major. Coach Aleksandr “Nofear” Churochkin and sporting director Maria “Inverno” Gunina, who were also previously employed by the HellRaisers, were also taken on.

9Pandas sign Hellraiser’s players

The ex-Hellraisers line-up enjoyed great success in the EEU DPC 2023 Tour 2: Division I, however, the Hellraisers’ organization ran into troubles in early April and abandoned their esports adventure for the time being. The players were left without organization for two weeks, but have now found a permanent place again.

While Nofear remains the Coach, former HellRaisers CEO Aldar “Jamba” Dzhambinov has taken the role of 9Pandas Team Manager, and Inverno has taken the role of the org’s Chief Strategy Officer.

This is the ex-Hellraisers or the new 9Pandas Esports Dota 2 line-up:

• Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev
• Matvey “MieRo`” Vasyunin
• Alexey “Solo” Berezin
• Gleb “kiyotaka” Zyryanov
• Vladislav “Antares” Kertman

The announcement read:

“The New chapter of 9Pandas has begun! In this exciting video, we reveal the highly-anticipated new Dota roster of 9Pandas, featuring the best players from Eastern Europe.”

Apparently, the organization has been working on bringing in Tier 1 professionals for the past few months, and more announcements are expected to follow soon.

9Pandas aim high

9Pandas aren’t exactly new to esports, but they’ve never had a Tier 1 line-up. The organization added a CS:GO division and recently also added a women’s team. They’ve invited Denis “seized” Kostin, who used to be on Natus Vincere, and made him a part of a reality show called “Tryhard.”

Meanwhile, HellRaisers won the DPC EEU 2023 Spring Tour and finished it without a single loss. They didn’t do quite as well in DreamLeague Season 19, however, some players in the line-up were ill, which probably contributed to their underperformance. Now, the team is flying to Berlin to make their competitive debut with the new organization.

The Major starts next week, April 26th!

Does RAMZES666 make his opponents miserable?

One of the 9Pandas players, RAMZES666, recently had to defend himself against allegations of match-fixing by Youtuber and blogger Morf, who later admitted his mistake.

Furthermore, Gaimin Gladiators Mid Laner Quinn “Quinn” Callahan, recently said that RAMZES666 makes life miserable for every player that he plays a Ranked game with. Read here what he meant.
