A new esports story starts today. WhiteBIT Team (WBT) enters the CS2 scene.

For the past few months, W Group has been working with its esports team behind the scenes, securing its first achievements. WBT won the UESF Championship of Ukraine 2026 Stage 2, finished 3rd–4th at the ESEA Season 57, and qualified for EPL S8.

Built with the support of experienced esports leadership, including  Mykhailo @kanecsgo2 Blagin, WhiteBIT Team's goal is to compete at the highest level and earn its place on the international stage.

The journey begins here, and we're excited to have you with us. See you on the server.

Today is a truly emotional day for me — a day of farewell. My journey with Inner Circle has come to an end.
I want to sincerely thank the organization for its professionalism and great attitude. Even though my time here was not very long, a part of my heart will always remain with IC. In many ways, this was a continuation of the TNL story, and I’m happy the guys found a great home. I truly believe they will achieve the highest goals and celebrate many big victories.
As for me, I am now free from any contractual obligations. I am open to coaching opportunities and would be ready to lead a truly long-term project with the highest ambitions and expectations.

So why should you be an Inner Circle fan? 🤔

🔥🔥🔥ЕКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНИЙ ВИПУСК НЕОДНОЗНАЧНОГО ШОУ ВЖЕ НА ЮТУБІ КІ!!!

https://t.co/KTr0URoV8D

Цього разу в гості до мене завітав Михайло @navi_kane, з яким ми обговорили:

— Всі подробиці трансферу та поточний стан справ у @InCircleEsports: як все відбувалося, що буде з TNL, хто інвестує в IC та як пройшов ПЕРШИЙ ТИР-1 ЛАН для команди?
— Детальний аналіз кризи в NAVI. Чому за думкою Kane цей склад вже "закінчився"?
— Що не так з VRS системою? Чи є сенс в онлайн-турнірах? Та як відбувалися заміни на EPL, досвід від першого обличчя🙃
— Чому B8 провалили сезон попри вихід на мейджор?
— Героїчний слот fnatic на StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 та чому Kane не згоден із заміною jackasmo на цей івент?
— Чи вийде у s1mple повернутися на тир-1 рівень?
— Чи стане EWC крутіше мейджорів і чи збирається Inner Circle змагатися за великий куш івенту?

Друзі, дуже потрібна ваша думка стосовно того чи жертвувати якістю запису в студії заради зйомок з цікавими гостями, які живуть не в Україні? Залишайте свою думку в коментах на ютубі. Будемо прислухатися до вас. А ще поширюйте це відео серед друзів, ставте вподобайки, це дуже важливо для розвитку і поширення українського контенту про CS2!

@ESLCS Please consider revising the seeding rule.
Lower-ranked teams face the strongest opponents in every round — and those opponents also get the veto advantage.
When this happens round after round, the balance is lost.
It would be fairer to give the veto advantage to the weaker team, since they’re already facing a much stronger opponent.

✈️ The suitcase is back. The victories too 🧳🔥
When M. Kane arrives at a tournament — expect him to stick around 😉

[Mike @kanecsgo2]

Hi everyone! Yesterday I arrived in Stockholm to do my best to help @InCircleEsports perform well. Sadly, my big suitcase got lost on the way — funny enough, @ESLCS hadn’t even booked us baggage unlike other teams. Hopefully, we’ll surprise them with our results instead.

TNL has won nearly $100,000 in prize money just in 2025 alone.

The Ukrainians were ranked 162nd on VRS at the start of 2025, they have been on an unprecedented rise through Tier 3 and Tier 2 and you’ve probably never heard of them.

@m1ldex @CCT_CS Please @cct_cs ban this cheaters 🙏🙏🙏

[Milan Hýbl @m1ldex]

I'm sorry but honestly next time we just refuse to play in the tournament with blatant cheating Russian dogs in it.

Wake up @CCT_CS how much more evidence do you need? The ENTIRE scene is calling on you to ban those fucks, there is not a single person defending them.

There is even a pattern in how they fix the matches and you still choose to stay silent and do nothing.

For a TO that was so fast on the trigger with bans before VRS system, it is SHOCKING that you are allowing this to happen.

I feel bad for Kolesie, Eclot, us and everyone else who was impacted by this. We spend days and nights practicing and getting better only to get out progress and effort ruined by a bunch of cheaters who have no interest in the game we love. This is clearly just designed for financial benefit.

Get your act together, it's not too late.

[TNL 🇺🇦 @tnl_cs2]

WE DID IT! 🥳🎉
We’re officially qualified! Thank you to everyone who supported us 💜

[Mike @kanecsgo2]

Hey everyone. There’s been a wave of frustration about Starladder’s rule changes — and I fully agree. At a time when team skill levels are closer than ever, TOs are doing everything they can to limit opportunities for new teams to play real LANs, just to cash in on big-name fanbases. It’s deeply disappointing.

[Di Fedchenko @difedchenko]

What is wrong with you @pglesports? Why did you hire a key member of russian (!) esports federation to host the PGL Astana stage?

This guy on stage next to @BanKsEsports is Illia Pelekhatskiy. He works as a creative producer for RESF - russian esports federation. Let me remind you what is RESF famous for:

- RESF is basically a russian government organization created to control esports in russia
- RESF opened multiple branch offices in Ukrainian cities occupied by russian army
- RESF organized multiple esports tournaments in occupied cities of Ukraine to spread russian propaganda among youth
- Of course RESF organizes tournaments in a partnership with sanctioned companies, for example Sberbank (EU imposed sanctions on Sberbank in July 2022).

As a creative producer of RESF Illia comes up with ideas on how to make Ukrainian youth loyal to russian occupation forces and esports is his key instrument. Absolute disgusting choice of stage host Mr @ssilviu…

[TNL 🇺🇦 @tnl_cs2]

🥈 We take second place at @GalaxyBattleCS : Phase 1!

It was a close fight where every round counted. Today, we fell just short but we’re proud of the journey we’ve made. 🏆

❤️ Thank you to everyone who stood by our side! We promise — we’ll come back even stronger. #TNLfamily
