At Stage 1 of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, B8 and The Huns faced off in a Bo1 match that turned out to be quite competitive. B8 managed to secure a 13:11 win on Ancient, closing out the game in the final rounds.
With this result, B8 move to a 1-1 record, keeping their chances of advancing alive. The Huns, on the other hand, fall to 0-2 and now sit on the brink of elimination.

For The Huns, Baatarkhuu “Bart4k” Batbold showed the best numbers with a 1.33 rating, but it wasn’t enough for the team to stabilize their game and challenge B8 in the late rounds.
What’s next
For B8, the victory is an important step forward both in terms of confidence and tournament positioning. They remain in the race for a spot in the next stage. The Huns now face significant pressure — one more loss could mean elimination.
