Polish Stand-In kRaSnaL Joins B8 for CS Asia Championships 2025 

Polish player Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek has been announced as a stand-in for B8 at the CS Asia Championships 2025 in Shanghai, following Artem "kensizor" Kapran's visa issues. kRaSnaL, currently with ex-Inner Circle, will join the Ukrainian roster for the tournament. He humorously referenced his compatriot Olek "hades" Miskiewicz, who is also stepping in for HEROIC due to similar visa complications, saying, "I'm coming for you, unc."

The two Poles are set to face each other in the tournament's opening round on October 14, 2025, at 08:00 CEST, as B8 takes on HEROIC. 

B8's roster for the event includes:

• Daniil "headtr1ck" Valitov

• Alexey "alex666" Yarmoshchuk

• Andrii "npl" Kukharskyi

• Dmytro "esenthial" Tsvir

• Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek (stand-in)

• Coach Ivan "maddened" Iordanidi

The CS Asia Championships 2025 will take place from October 14 to 19 in Shanghai, featuring 24 teams vying for a $1 million prize pool.
