Yesterday on 6th August, B8 unveiled their new Ukrainian lineup as they entered competitive Counter-Strike.

B8 Esports steps into competitive CS:GO, unveils young Ukrainian roster
The Ukrainian esports organization, B8 was formed last year in January 2020 and used to primarily compete in Dota 2. However, the organization has finally taken its first step to expand into another esports title CS:GO with a Ukrainian lineup whose average age is 18.6 years.
B8 Esports first ever CS:GO lineup is as follows,
Danylo "nat1ve" Bakin - Rifler
Bohdan "kr1vda" Kryvda
Nikita "Hkta" Reva
Mykhailo "OWNER" Lymar
Artem "r1nkle" Moroz
Dmitry "rjy" Chumak - Coach
All five players including the coach were members of the ex-Marlian eSports organization, who have now been signed by B8 Esports after showcasing some promising performances across various national and Tier-2 tournaments.
Hkta, OWNER, nat1ve, and kr1vda have the necessary experience to give B8 Esports a good start and foundation to build upon. Though the future plans of the team have not been officially revealed so far, they will probably start by establishing a name for themselves by winning national level tournaments and slowly work their way into the international scene.
The fifth and the youngest player of the team is r1nkle who is just 16-years-old, he might not have the necessary experience but his talent can not be ignored. He brings the much necessary firepower and can grow to reach new heights with this young team.
If we want to succeed in a game, it needs to be the number one priority. At this point, B8 is like a child for me not just a team. And you guys are becoming a part of it, I will do my best so you can do your best too.Danil "Dendi" Ishutin
With the CIS region under the spotlight when it comes to competitive CS:GO, this is a great time for B8 Esports to really cause some damage and make a name for themselves. It will be interesting to see how this lineup performs in the next couple of months, as the summer player break nears its end.
