HellRaisers have announced that Vladislav "bondik" Nechiporchuk has returned to their starting lineup following a loan spell with TyLoo.

The Ukrainian player will replace Kristjan "⁠fejtZ⁠" Allsaar, who has been given his marching orders after spending the last two months with the team as a stand-in. During this time, HellRaisers won the FCDB Cup and placed third at the StarLadder i-League Invitational #2 and 5th-6th at the ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals.

Vladyslav "⁠bondik⁠" Nechyporchuk was moved to the HellRaisers bench in August as the team looked to "refresh the roster by bringing in Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad and Özgür "⁠woxic⁠" Eker.

Shortly afterwards, the Ukrainian was loaned out to TYLOO, with whom he attended the EPICENTER Wildcard stage, the Asia Minor, the StarLadder Invitational and ROG Masters. He was also due to attend the ELEAGUE Major Boston, but the Chinese team ended up withdrawing from the event due to visa issues.

In a statement, team captain Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow explained that the team "could not give fejtZ the roles" in which he could demonstrate his full potential, and recommended the Estonian "to any team looking for a player who is ready to get 30 kills, regardless of the weapon."

"It was clear that he [FejtZ] felt out of place, so we decided to try a player of another type," team coach Ivan "⁠Johnta⁠" Shevtsov added. "With Vladislav back on the team, we hope to finally find our game and confidently start 2018, showing a powerful level of gameplay".
