B8 have become champions of Parken Challenger Season 3, delivering a confident performance over their last two must-win matches against 3DMAX and BESTIA. In the grand final, B8 managed to step up in the most crucial moments and defeat BESTIA 2–1, even though they realistically had chances of being eliminated earlier in the tournament.

This victory carries even more weight as it almost guarantees B8 an invite to the IEM Cologne Major 2026. Given the VRS system, their success at Parken Challenger significantly strengthens their position in the qualification race. On their way to the title, the Ukrainian squad also knocked out the French team 3DMAX, who were also fighting for a slot at the event.
