After securing one victory,<strong> HOTU exited IEM Rio in the 9th-12th place<\/strong> following losses from Natus Vincere and Aurora. It seems like the people behind the team were not happy at all because they<strong> announced that Suleimen \u201cdukefissura\u201d Orazaly will be benched<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the team\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/hotu_esports\/3630\">announcement on Telegram<\/a>, \u201cthis decision was not easy to make\u201d. HOTU said the team is grateful for the<strong> player\u2019s contribution <\/strong>and for everything they have achieved together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dukefissura became a part of HOTU last year and has been a part of the team\u2019s most successful period. After joining the squad, HOTU took part in many different top CS2 tournaments. The squad<strong> slowly cemented its position<\/strong> as one of the best in its region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the team\u2019s most memorable run alongside dukefissura was the <strong>victory at ESL Pro League Season 22<\/strong>. This was a time whe<strong>n HOTU was really strong <\/strong>and managed to defeat a lot of the big names, including the likes of FURIA. During that time, dukefissura established himself as one of the <strong>more aggressive players<\/strong> for his team and people loved watching him. Sadly, HOTU fans will have to wave goodbye and wait for his replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the roster change, HOTU\u2019s draft looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>David \u201cn0rb3r7\u201d Danielyan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dmtiry \u201cmizu\u201d Kondratev<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kim \u201cfrontales\u201d Argunov<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Altair \u201ckAlash\u201d Askarov<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rustem \u201cmou\u201d Telepov<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow <a href=\"http:\/\/blix.gg\">Blix.gg<\/a> for the latest news around HOTU because w are yet to see who will take his spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOTU decided to make important changes after failing to live up to the expectations at IEM Rio.
