9Pandas Esports acquires ex-HellRaisers squad

Home sweet home for the boys of HellRaisers; or ex-HellRaisers more specifically. After a brief period of flying without a banner, the players found an organization who is willing to pick them up. Introducing 9Pandas Esports, the newest name to enter professional Dota who will be leading the squad:

On the back of the former HellRaisers team's success from the last Eastern European Dota Pro Circuit (EEU DPC) tour, 9Pandas will be taking on Berlin Major as their first challenge. The former had achieved huge success at the second season of EEU DPC Division I. They went undefeated (7-0) with a final score line of 14-3, placing first in the season.

Not long after, they participated at a 40-team tournament known as Pinnacle Cup: Malta Vibes. Although they started from the third round, they dominated their way to the grand final with clean sheets of 2-0 against Alliance, Old G and Virtus.Pro. At the grand final, they defeated Natus Vincere (NAVI) with a close 3-2.

Unfortunately, they struggled in the most recent DreamLeague season 19 and were eliminated early. However, this tournament served as a great warmup for Berlin Major where they will once again face the peers whom they met at DreamLeague.

9Pandas Esports in an esports organization based in Belgrade, Serbia. The organization is led by Chief Executive Officer Adalyat "Krookie" Mamedov who has eight years of experience in the industry with previous leadership roles at Winstrike and Garena. It has also onboarded Russian caster and host, Maria "Inverno" Gunina. Meanwhile, former HellRaisers support team Aldar "Jamba" Dzhambinov and Aleksandr "Nofear" Churochkin will join as manager and coach (respectively). More details available on their official press release.
