HellRaisers have taken ex-Fraternitas duo Tomáš "oskar" Šťastný and Martin "STYKO" Styk on trial, HLTV.org has learned.

Both players have been playing for HellRaisers in online competitions as stand-ins and are set to fly to Kiev to bootcamp with the team, who will undergo a roster overhaul after failing to qualify for the DreamHack Cluj major.

Last month, HellRaisers' squad was depleted to just four players following the departure of Mihail "⁠Dosia⁠" Stolyarov, with FlipSid3 Tactics' Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev stepping into the Russian's shoes for DreamHack Open Stockholm.

In the Swedish capital, the Ukrainian team got off to a great start, beating Vexed 2-0, but then they fell short against Titan and had to fight for their lives in the Lower Bracket. In the decider match, HellRaisers would be defeated by Vexed despite a strong showing from s1mple and Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow.



STYKO and oskar are on trial in HellRaisers

Both Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný and Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk have been evaluating their options following their team's departure from Fraternitas due to alleged "unfulfilled promises and payments" from one of the organisation's co-owners. They will step into the shoes of Kazakhstani duo Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev and Rustem "⁠mou⁠" Telepov, who are likely to continue playing elsewhere.

HellRaisers, who are competing in leagues such as CEVO Professional, ESL ESEA Pro League and GO:CL, are testing the following lineup:
