The main highlight of the tournament for Ukrainian fans will be the participation of two Ukrainian teams at once — B8 and Inner Circle.
B8 received an invitation to the main stage of the tournament and continues to perform at the international level against strong opponents.
The list of participants also includes Inner Circle — another Ukrainian roster that has recently been gradually establishing itself among notable teams on the European scene.
Thus, Logitech G Play Connect will become another tournament where Ukrainian Counter-Strike will be represented by two teams at once. 🇺🇦
