Role:
Playmaker
Bio:

I started playing when I was 7 years old, inspired by watching my dad play CS. Ever since then, the game has consumed my life. I got my hands on a laptop and found myself playing CS for 3-4 hours every day. In 2020, after reaching a 3500 ELO, I underwent trials and joined NaVi Junior, where I honed my skills and eventually moved up to the main roster for a solid 6 months. Following that, I made the decision to pursue my goals together with B8 Esports.

I began playing CS in 2016, but my professional journey kicked off when I joined B8 Esports. Prior to that, I played in various teams and stacks, but they weren't considered professional organizations. One of the most notable experiences before B8 Esports was with Incas, a team where I played under the guidance of the legendary Kane.

Coach

Ivan "Maddened" Iordanidi born December 4, 2000

From:
Ukraine 🇺🇦
Role:
Head Coach
Bio:

I started with CS in 2013, but I wasn't much into competitive play. I was more about observing and trying to grasp the game. That's when I decided to pursue coaching, without ever stepping into the player's shoes. Before joining B8 Esports, I worked at an analytical agency specializing in CS. Prior to that, I was also assisting the coaching staff at Complexity, gaining some valuable experience along the way.
