While most esports fans were moving away from New Year’s Eve and eating salads, HellRaisers presented the real composition of all the stars from the CIS. Bright and experienced players, who on paper looked like the clear favorites of the qualification, actually finished the qualifiers with a 0: 4 statistics. At the same time, it will not be possible to find one culprit in the collective’s failures. HR failure – a combination of factors, starting from a new position for Alexander Nix Levin and ending with wards from Ivan VANSKOR Skorokhod. What prevented the star squad from showing a decent game in qualifying – in the material Cybersport.ru.

HellRaisers didn’t play

Perhaps this is the first and most obvious explanation. For example, VANSKOR officially joined the team only on January 4, and the player’s tests passed, judging by the post of the club’s CEO, the day before. At the same time, the first HR game took place on January 8, that is, there was practically no time for joint training and perfecting strategies. Conditional NoPangolier registered the roster at the end of December, although most of the roster, according to the coach ArsZeeqq, was collected back in early November.

On the other hand, EXTREMUM, against which HR played the second match, also made two changes in the squad only on December 31 and said goodbye to the coach. Same Alexey Solo Berezin, which was recently in Just Error, registered a new roster on January 2nd. Therefore, if HR can make a discount due to lack of match, then it is quite small. However, it was the lil me alone roster that showed the weakest team play among all the teams in qualifying. This manifested itself in micro-moments in mass battles, when HR players acted in disunity, as, for example, in this fight against NoPangolier. VANSKOR on Oracle gives Puck the ultimate before Beastmaster’s Primal Roar hits him, which loses time in the camp. Moreover, he Resolut1on put Dream Coil in one Ghostik. HR seemed to be ready to take a fight: lil me alone broke into Earthshaker perfectly, but Ember Spirit and Puck could not do damage, and Cooman generally fled from the enemy forest and dealt only two hits to Lion. As a result, the promising fight ended with two deaths of HR players.

Nix in an unfamiliar role

Nix hasn’t played in mid lane for almost a year. We are used to seeing Levin in the first position around which the team’s play is built. However, with Cooman in Nix, you need to take on the role of a mid-playmaker. However, Nix failed to realize their potential on the center line in the qualifiers.

Problems arose already at the laning stage. On both maps against NoPangolier, Levin was noticeably inferior in overall value to his counterpart. On the sixth minute of the first map, he lost to the enemy Mars almost 1.5 thousand gold. On the second map, despite the teammates’ constrictions, who twice sent mellojul to the tavern, by the tenth minute Nix was again losing 500 gold. Against Kunkka in the match with EXTREMUM, Levin defended exactly, although later he lost time and pace on unsuccessful attempts to enter the gank. However, already on the second map, Nix completely lost the central lane, dying three times from Ember Spirit – in the seventh minute the gap between them was more than a thousand gold and two and a half levels.

Nix also had problems in midgame. Levin’s second map against NoPangolier turned out to be a frank failure – he ended it with a 2/9/8 stat and dealt only 16K damage to Leshrac in 40 minutes. Nix often found himself in a not very successful position and was one of the first to die, not even having time to press all his buttons, although, looking ahead, this was not only his fault. The moment in the 40th minute of the second map against NoPangolier was indicative, when Nix, knowing that the opposing team had Legion Commander and Batrider, approached to destroy the Shadow Shaman wards, although Mirana alone could cope with this task. The opponents immediately focused Levin, and he did not deal damage at all in a rather promising fight. Having immediately bought back, Nix returned to the fight, from which Cooman had already fled, after which he immediately died again, and then immediately left the game.

Probably, Levin’s play was also affected by the lack of tournament practice, because HR missed the EPIC League, so Nix did not play on the professional stage since the beginning of November. Mild uncertainty manifested itself even in small things, which resulted in serious problems for the team. For example, on the 20th minute of the first map against EXTREMUM, HR players went under Smoke of Deceit to look for an opponent. At the worst possible moment, Nix decided to farm a bunch of creeps – when Resolut1on and Cooman were already breaking into Kunkka. After that, Levin blinked behind his supports away from the enemy and didn’t help finish off the opponent’s mid lane. As a result, HR did not have enough just a couple of punches to finish off Kunkka, while Puck kept his ultimate until the very end of the fight and eventually gave it, just to save himself.

It’s hard to remember a really scoring ward from HR for four cards. But their rivals quite often received a significant advantage due to vision. Here, for example, is the situation at the 19th minute on the first map against EXTREMUM.

HR see almost nothing – the only ward stands in its forest, where no one is farming. But EXTREMUM players knew very well about the movements of Puck, who was pushing the line. As a result, thanks to the ward, they caught Nix and slowed down HR’s pace, buying a lot of time for Medusa.

Draft Resolut1on

If we take out of the brackets the fourth map of HR in qualification, on which the team looked completely disassembled and lost all lanes without a chance, then Resolut1on on hard together with lil me alone looked good (or at least better than the rest of the team). Commentators of HR matches often repeated that Fominok was used to playing greedily, so three cores on the map might not have enough farm. However, Resolut1on dispelled their doubts: he acted as a team, at times quite successfully initiated and tried to create space for Cooman.

The main complaint about Resolut1on is not his performance, but his drafts. Although it is difficult to say exactly how the peak stage in HR is going – is Fominok really responsible for the draft, or he formally takes this position. Anyway, in four matches HR never won a pick. In a meeting with NoPangolier, the team took on Slark twice – far from the most meta hero. Moreover, on the first map his rivals were immediately closed by Bloodseeker, and on the lane with Cooman was VANSKOR on Oracle, which turned out to be a very weak double. Considering that NoPangolier still had Mars and Phoenix, Slark was almost unable to act freely in a fight – he was forced to flee right away, without even actually causing damage.

It is difficult to say whether Cooman’s actions were coordinated in the HR team and how the communication in the team took place in general, but his decisions on the macro side sometimes had a negative impact on the course of matches. On the other hand, it is difficult to blame Shakhmurzaev for micro-errors – he really did almost no damage in fights, but this is more of a draft problem, which

Lil me alone was good, but he didn’t get a game changer pick

Least of all questions, perhaps, caused the game lil me alone. He acted well on the lane, moved well around the map and squeezed the maximum out of his heroes – only the characters were not always suitable for this. Ilyuk proved to be an excellent Earthshaker, his initiations are the only thing that kept HR afloat on the first map against NoPangolier. However, lil me alone later played on Mirana, Lion and Shadow Shaman – on none of them he had a real opportunity to turn the tide of meetings, which were unsuccessful from the very beginning. Although Sacred Arrow was excellent at times, he tried to split-push with Mass Serpent Ward, buying time for his team. In any case, it’s nice to note that Ilyuk is in great shape and is now probably the main hope of HR fans.
