After ruling out the possibility of staying in HellRaisers earlier this month, Žygimantas "⁠nukkye⁠" Chmieliauskas has now announced he is no longer tied to the Ukrainian organization.

nukkye put out a statement earlier this month in which he said he no longer wanted to be a part of HellRaisers, as he doesn't feel comfortable playing on a Russian-speaking team and the Kiev-based organization is looking to build a squad comprised of players from the CIS region.

nukkye is open to offers as an AWPer or rifler

nukkye's departure from HellRaisers puts an end to a 12-month stint with the organization, which he joined after the benching of Abay "⁠Hobbit⁠" Khasenov in April of last year. He most notably played the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals and the StarLadder Major during his time on the roster.

The move was an inevitable outcome after he publicly wished to leave earlier this month when he and his teammates Vadim "⁠Flarich⁠" Karetin and Ivan "⁠AiyvaN⁠" Semenets were moved to the bench while Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow and Igor "⁠crush⁠" Shevchenko took their leave from the organization.

The 22-year-old Lithuanian player, who previously stated that he wants to stay in Europe during the coronavirus pandemic, tweeted that he is ready to hear offers from teams and is open to playing as an AWPer or rifler.
