In an exit interview, team captain Alexey “Solo” Berezin comments on the challenges he faced within the last year of his Dota 2 career, having jumped around from on team to another (Virtus Pro and Natus Vincere). He stated that he is “super happy” that he has met his fellow teammates at HellRaisers and is eager to play more with them. He added that he feels responsible in taking care of his teammates who are much younger than him and are likely more green in experience. It is only the beginning and Solo appears to have a positive outlook for HellRaisers' future.
