HellRaisers and Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosyan Part Ways
HellRaisers and Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosyan, a veteran support player, have mutually agreed to part ways as the team looks to change its approach in Dota 2.
RodjER’s Journey with HellRaisers
RodjER joined HellRaisers with the aim of bringing his experience from playing with Virtus Pro and Natus Vincere to a largely new roster, which was striving to secure a top spot in the CIS region. Despite early success, the team faced challenges in breaking past squads like FlytoMoon in the current online format of the competition.
Success and Stagnation
HellRaisers credits RodjER with helping the team find a period of sustained success that they hadn’t experienced in years. With him as support, the team achieved third-place finishes in both the second and third seasons of the Parimatch League and competed against top teams in regional leagues. However, the results weren’t always positive.
Both HellRaisers and RodjER have decided that it is time to move on and explore new opportunities.
Looking Ahead and Farewell
The organization is now looking to move in a different direction with the team. Speaking about the decision, RodjER expressed his gratitude towards his teammates and the organization, but acknowledged that they couldn’t agree on certain Dota-related aspects. He also thanked the fans for their support.
The current HellRaisers roster, with RodjER’s departure, features captain Alexander “Nix” Levin, Arslan “xannii” Shadjanov, Gleb “Funn1k” Lipatnikov, Yaroslav “Miposhka” Naidenov, and coach Aleksandr “Accell” Litvinenko.
What’s Next for HellRaisers and RodjER?
HellRaisers is now on the lookout for a new support player and an announcement regarding a replacement is expected soon. As for RodjER, he is now an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign with any organization or stack he chooses.
