STYKO: "A major is our top priority"

We caught up with Martin "STYKO" Styk to talk about HellRaisers' progress with the new lineup, overall preparation and expectations, as well as teams in group B of the PGL Minor.

HellRaisers already passed the first test in their LAN debut since the big change, although it wasn't without problems, as the team had to come back from a 8-13 deficit to win de_dust2 over Lemondogs.

We got a chance to talk to Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk, whose HellRaisers are widely regarded as one of the favourites of the tournament, about the team's LAN debut, confidence going into the PGL Minor and more:

it really sucks that these interviews aren't typed out or at least the important parts... i mean i'm sure somebody would volunteer to do that and it's much handier than having to watch a video everytime :/ no offense to striker but i just like to read news fast and this is so counter intuitive for me . would be nice if there was some kind of script where you first have to play the vid and then get access to the typed out interview.

Vexed made the great performance to qualify for 2 majors in a row when they were ranked slighty better than 20th. Immunity also qualified to a major. But anyway HR in 3 months : "we're trying to qualify for the next minor but it's not easy."
