The Ukrainian rifler Andrii ’npl’ Kukharskyi has officially transitioned to B8 from a loan agreement with Natus Vincere. After joining B8 on a loan last July, npl has significantly contributed to the team’s resurgence, becoming their standout player and taking charge of leadership.

This decision reflects a shift in career focus for npl, who had previously been sidelined on NAVI’s bench as the organization underwent an international roster overhaul. His impact on B8 has been profound, guiding the team to notable victories and participation in major events, including the ESL Challenger Katowice 2024.

B8 stated, “It’s been a little over two years since npl joined us on loan from Natus Vincere. Throughout this time, the team has evolved - not just in-game, but as a unit overall.”
