OG Misses Out on Lima Major, Yuragi to Stand-In for HellRaisers
OG failed to qualify for the Lima Major after finishing fifth in the European branch of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit Winter Tour. However, Yuragi, one of their players, will be joining Eastern European team HellRaisers as a stand-in.
Yuragi is well-known for his skills in the carry lane and has already won two majors with OG. Now, he has the opportunity to compete with HellRaisers and potentially win a third major as a stand-in.
For both OG and HellRaisers, this is a win-win situation. OG can give Yuragi a chance to improve at the highest level, while HellRaisers will benefit from having a skilled player in their ranks for the tournament.
While it may sound good in theory, there are challenges to overcome. Yuragi has had limited time to learn and adapt to HellRaisers’ strategies, and the team may need to adjust their gameplay to accommodate his strengths.
Despite finishing third in their region’s Winter Tour ladder, HellRaisers decided to kick Daxak and seek a stand-in. Yuragi is considered one of the best choices for this role.
The question remains: Will HellRaisers be able to come together and have a successful run at the Lima Major? Only time will tell once the event kicks off on Feb. 22.
