B8 bench alex666

21-4-2023 11:46

The Ukrainian player has been sidelined and is actively seeking new opportunities.

B8 has announced that Alexey "⁠alex666⁠" Yarmoshchuk, who had been part of the team's starting roster since August 2022 when he joined alongside Denys "⁠amster⁠" Liashenko and coach Ivan "⁠maddened⁠" Iordanidi, has been removed from the starting five.

alex666 will no longer play for B8

The 21-year-old's move to the bench comes after a heartbreaking run at the RMR for the young Ukrainian squad, who went from 2-0 after beating MOUZ and Virtus.pro in the opening best-of-ones to 2-3 and were then eliminated from Major contention by Cloud9 in the last chance qualifier.

The BLAST.tv Paris Major RMR was a flashback to the IEM Rio RMR in 2022, where B8 got off to a 2-1 lead after the best-of-ones before losing back-to-back best-of-threes to fall short in the Swiss system qualifier with a 2-3 record.

B8 will need to find a replacement for alex666 in a timely manner as they are slated to take part in CCT South Europe Series 4, which they open on Sunday, April 23, with a first round match of the Swiss group stage against KS.

The Ukrainians are also in the ESL Challenger League Season 45 lower bracket after an opening round defeat to Falcons and will now face another French team, LDLC.

B8's roster is currently:

Ukraine Arseniy "⁠cptkurtka023⁠" Derevinskiy
Ukraine Artem "⁠r1nkle⁠" Moroz
Ukraine Denys "⁠amster⁠" Liashenko
Ukraine Mykhailo "⁠OWNER⁠" Lymar

Russia Ivan "⁠maddened⁠" Iordanidi (coach)

Ukraine Alexey "⁠alex666⁠" Yarmoshchuk (benched)

Its all about the money bro, like almost everything in life. They dont care about his feelings since they can just replace him with one of 100000 players that can also play at this level. There is no shortage of players, amount of players are like flies on sh*t if you know what i mean))

it was the right move ,if u knew even a bit about csgo. Owner smart IGL , and amster smart and very clutch player. ofc they don´t have good hltv stats , but if u understood the game u would see them differently. also alex666 have the good roles and is having average impact. like Ence with valde for example compared to Nertz. If they get kvem now , to play the good roles , this team becomes 2x better instatnly

Then why the hell amster is still there? It must be an offer. Otherwise benching him instead of amster doesn't make sense. If your info on IGL is correct, of course.
