kade0 returns to HOTU

Aidos "kade0" Khairzhan has returned to HOTU, the Counter-Strike 2 team he previously represented from November 2024 to November 2025, before moving on to ALLINERS and DEPO. The organization announced the move via its social media accounts.

A few days ago, HOTU moved in-game leader Suleımen "dukefissura" Orazaly to the bench and parted ways with Altair "kAlash" Askarov.

HOTU currently sits 36th in HLTV's ranking of the world’s strongest Counter-Strike 2 teams. The squad placed 9th-12th at IEM Rio 2026 and failed to qualify for IEM Cologne Major 2026.

 HOTU are now:

 Dmitriy "mizu" Kondratev
 Kim "frontales" Argunov

 Aidos "kade0" Khairzhan

 Rüstem "mou" Telepov (Coach)
