Contract tenure map

Every B8 contract since 2021

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2021 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 7m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with B8; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

The year closed with kensizor. He joined from kONO.ECF on 28 December 2024 as the replacement for cptkurtka023, who left at the turn of the year.

B8 announced on 4 August 2025 that npl had signed permanently, after a loan that began in July 2023. In January 2026 headtr1ck was benched and transfer-listed, and he was released on 11 March 2026 when he joined Inner Circle.

segukawa joined on 16 January 2026 and left on 1 February 2026, the day s1zzi arrived on loan from Team Spirit Academy Black. s1zzi has been the awper since then.

npl, esenthial, alex666, kensizor and s1zzi make up the current five. alex666 is the in-game leader, esenthial and kensizor play as riflers, and s1zzi is the awper. maddened has coached the team since 12 August 2022.

The organisation side is led by Dendi and Ivan Mamchur, the co-founders, and by Vladyslav Svistov, known as arch, who has been chief executive since October 2025. Oleksandra Kruspe, known as manka, joined in May 2025 as a content creator and team manager.
