PARIVISION player to stand in for HULIGANI at BLAST Slam VIII

HULIGANI (formerly L1GA Team) announced that offlaner Valeriy SSS Lazarev will temporarily join the team's roster, replacing Ivan Corrupted German.

Lazarev is still on the PARIVISION bench, while his last appearance was at PGL Wallachia Season 8 in April 2026, where the team finished in 5th-6th place. After that, the player was moved to the bench and did not participate in any other tournaments.

SSS's first tournament with his new team will be the closed European qualifier for BLAST Slam VIII. The team will compete in the qualifier under the HULIGANI name, which it previously used at The International 2026, where it finished in last place.

The battle for a spot at BLAST Slam will take place from 29.08.2026 to 30.08.2026 online. Eight teams will compete for two spots at the main event. The updated roster will face Team Lynx in its first match. The team also recently announced the temporary addition of Aybek TA2000 Tokayev.

HULIGANI also received a direct invitation to the playoffs of EPL Masters II. The tournament will take place from 30.08.2026 to 10.09.2026 and will also be held online. A total of 16 teams will compete for a $100,000 prize pool.

However, it is currently unknown whether SSS will play for the team at this tournament, as he was officially announced as a temporary stand-in specifically for the BLAST Slam VIII qualifiers.

BLAST Slam VIII will take place from 29.09.2026 to 11.10.2026. The main event will feature 16 teams, with a prize pool of $750,000.
