HellRaisers have announced that coach Sergey "lmbt" Bezhanov has become a free agent following the benching of their entire roster.

The announcement comes just a few days after HellRaisers made the decision to bench their entire roster following a disappointing 1-3 exit at the StarLadder Major's New Challengers Stage.

Prior to re-joining HellRaisers, lmbt had a promising two-year run as the coach of mousesports, but was unable to re-create that success upon his return to the Ukrainian organization. The entirety of 2019 has reaped little reward for HellRaisers, as they weren't been able to finish above 5-6th place at any LAN event outside of a second-place run at the WePlay! Forge of Masters Season 1 Finals.

The future of the HellRaisers lineup is still in question at this time as the organization has not officially announced whether they will be keeping any of the players currently under contract, although several have already tweeted about being open to hearing offers as the transfer season is set to swing in full force following the end of the Major.

"I’m glad to have worked with lmbt, even though it was a short period of time. On behalf of HR and myself, I hope you succeed and always get the luckiest timings possible."

- Alex "Magician" Slabukhin, HellRaisers CEO
