HOTU recalls Aidos kade0 from DEPO, returns to starting five

HOTU recalled Aidos ‘kade0’ Khairzhan from his loan at Uzbek side DEPO and placed him back in the starting lineup with immediate effect, the organization announced. He averaged a 1.42 rating while playing for DEPO.

Kade0 spent a year with HOTU before being benched in November 2025. After that benching he was loaned to ALLINNERS and later to DEPO.

The recall comes as HOTU finalizes its active roster ahead of upcoming events. The team entered the top 20 of the VRS in February after winning Roman Imperium Cup V, but results declined in the closing weeks of the Major qualification. At IEM Rio HOTU finished 9th-12th; shortly after returning, the club moved Suleımen ‘dukefissura’ Orazaly to the bench and subsequently parted ways with Altair ‘kAlash’ Askarov.

With ‘kade0’ back in the starting five, HOTU’s active roster lists David ‘n0rb3r7’ Danielyan, Dmitry ‘mizu’ Kondratev, Kim ‘frontales’ Argunov and Aidos ‘kade0’ Khairzhan, with Rustem ‘mou’ Telepov serving as coach and Suleımen ‘dukefissura’ Orazaly on the bench.

HOTU is scheduled to compete in CCT 2026 Europe Series 1 and NODWIN Clutch Series 8.
