Earlier today, HLTV.org revealed that Özgür “woxic” Eker will not be able to attend DreamHack Masters Stockholm due to visa issues. The Turkish player explained yesterday in a TwitLonger that the Kiev embassy gave him his passport back but without a visa to play at the Swedish event.

HLTV also explained that woxic involvement at the FACEIT Major is not in question as he already has a one-year visa to the United Kingdom.

HellRaisers had to look for a stand-in at the last minute and will finally play the DreamHack with The Imperial player Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas. The Lithuanian AWPer will step into the shoes of woxic and try to replace him as best as possible.

The $250.000 event will start Wednesday and HellRaisers is in the same group as MIBR, Mousesports and Gambit. Their first match will be against MIBR in BO1 and then they will have to play one or two BO3 depending on their results.

HellRaisers will play at DreamHack Masters Stockholm with :

Kirill “ANGE1” Karasov

Vlаdуslаv “bondik” Nеchуроrchuk

Bence “DeadFox” Böröcz

Issa “ISSAA” Murad

Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas
