B8 opens CS2 academy

Ukrainian esports club B8 announced the launch of a youth Counter-Strike 2 team, featuring five players from Ukraine aged 14 to 17. The official statement was published on the organization's X social media account.

The idea of creating an academy lineup has been on our minds for a while, and after thorough scouting, we’re proud to officially introduce the young team representing the next generation of B8. The players are already competing in multiple tournaments and qualifiers — and we’re looking forward to seeing them soon in events covered on HLTV.
