HellRaisers to CEVO Gfinity S9 Finals

HellRaisers have qualified for CEVO Gfinity Professional Season 9 Finals after defeating Epsilon 2-0 (Mirage 16-14, Cache 16-12) in the grand final of EU Bracket #2.

After an unsuccessful run in the first bracket, where they lost to eventual winners Dignitas in the semis, HellRaisers took part in the second bracket among names such as FlipSid3, SK, ENCE and more.

However, some of the biggest names didn't make it past quarter-finals, while still with Richard "⁠queztone⁠" Strnátko as stand-in at the start, HellRaisers went on to defeat VwS and Torpedo in the first two rounds.

Vladyslav "⁠bondik⁠" Nechyporchuk stepped in in time for their semi-final with E-frag.net, where the Ukrainian put in a solid performance which helped his new team advance to the grand final.

There they met Epsilon who couldn't complete a comeback on Mirage after a 3-12 deficit, and HellRaisers qualified for the finals at 16-12 on Cache.
