Inner Circle Win Super DraculaN Season 1 and Climb Into VRS Top 30

Ukrainian roster Inner Circle have become the champions of Super DraculaN Season 1 in Counter-Strike 2. In the grand final of the tournament in Bucharest, the team defeated Acend 3:1 and earned the main prize of $60,000.

For Inner Circle, this victory was especially important: the Ukrainian core had never previously won an event covered by HLTV. Their success at Super DraculaN Season 1 immediately affected their ranking as well - after the final, Inner Circle climbed to 27th place in the live version of the Valve Regional Standings.

The team’s road to the title was confident. During the tournament, Inner Circle beat AM, 9INE, Sashi, Walczaki, Sharks, and then defeated Acend in the deciding match. The final did not start perfectly: the Ukrainian side lost Mirage 11:13 despite leading 10:6. However, after that, Inner Circle quickly regained control of the series.

The team took Dust2 13:10, Overpass 13:8, and Ancient 13:8. Captain Viktor “onic” Babii stood out especially on the last map, posting a 1.49 rating on Ancient. Across the full series, all five players contributed, which became one of the key factors behind the victory.

After the departure of Artem “cairne” Mushynskyi, the team went through a dip in form, but the signing of Daniil “headtr1ck” Valitov clearly helped Inner Circle return to contention. First, the roster took bronze at BCG Masters Season 2, and now they have reached full championship success in Bucharest.
