By Nicholas Barth ·
The Hellraisers player has not been able to compete with his team for the beginning of the tournament, due to a visa issue preventing him from traveling to Kiev.
The beginning of StarSeries i-League Season 4 has not been very good to Hellraisers, as the team has not been able to secure one map against Natus Vincere or Heroic. They have been playing with a stand-in for the first two days of the competition, as Kevin "HS" Tarn has been filling in for Issa "ISSAA" Murad. ISSAA was not able to compete with the rest of his team in Kiev, as he was having visa issues preventing him from traveling to Ukraine for the event. According to a report by HLTV, this will not be the case for the rest of the StarSeries i-League Season 4.
ISSAA will do his best to help his team recover from their poor start.

The Hellrasiers player will be able to travel to Kiev and make it in time to compete in his team's match tomorrow. Hellraisers will be facing elimination from the tournament, as they currently sit in the standings with a 0-2 record.
Ivan "Johnta" Shevcov, Hellraisers coach, had nothing but praise for HS for helping the team compete for the first two days of the event.
"I want to thank Kevin [HS], who was really helpful and showed great professionalism. He had so step in to pretty hard roles and it was definitely not easy to get used to our calls and play style. But he did pretty good and he was not the reason we lost matches here. I think any team would be happy to get a player with flawless communication and great aiming skills, like he has. It was nice to work with him but now we have a chance to play with full roster and we'll try our best to show better game tomorrow."
Hellrasiers will now have the chance to fend off elimination from the tournament with their starting roster at full strength.
