Rumor: Dendi No Longer Majority Owner of B8 Esports

Unconfirmed reports suggest that B8 Esports may have undergone a major ownership change, potentially marking a significant shift for one of Ukraine's most recognizable esports organizations.

The speculation comes from the Telegram channel SHTAB CS2, which claims that the club's founders, Danylo "Dendi" Ishutin and Ivan Mamchur, are no longer the majority owners of the organization.

Report Claims New Majority Owner Has Taken Control

According to the report, B8 Esports is now allegedly controlled by an unnamed investor, while Ishutin and Mamchur have reportedly retained a combined stake of around 15% following the transaction.

No information has been provided regarding the identity of the alleged new owner or the terms of the reported deal.

No Official Confirmation Yet

At the time of writing, the report remains unconfirmed.

B8 Esports has not issued any official statement regarding a change in ownership, and neither Dendi nor Ivan Mamchur has publicly commented on the rumors surrounding the organization's ownership structure.

Until an official announcement is made, the information should be treated as speculation.

B8's History

B8 Esports was founded in 2020 by former Dota 2 star Danylo "Dendi" Ishutin, with Ivan Mamchur joining the project as a co-founder and playing a key role in the club's management.

The two have long been viewed as the organization's principal stakeholders. In 2025, Mamchur stepped down as CEO, with former professional player Arch taking over the role.

If the reports prove accurate, the ownership change would mark one of the most significant developments in B8 Esports' history, though the organization has yet to confirm any changes publicly.
