Artem “kensizor” Kapran is an esports player from Ukraine who represents his country in the world of Counter-Strike 2. His journey on the competitive scene has lasted for nearly four years. During this time, he has achieved notable success, having participated in a number of professional tournaments and earned over $25,000 in prize money.

Artem’s esports career began with the team GothBoiClique, with whom he earned his first career prize money in November 2021 after placing 7th at the UPEA Ukrainian Championship 2021: Online Stage. He later joined KIS KIS, but after failing to find success, left the team in March 2022 to join Question Mark.

With his new team, the Ukrainian player returned to winning form, earning silver medals at ESEA Cash Cup: Europe – Autumn 2022 #4, Esport Tour 2022: Series #4, and Forward Cup, as well as finishing 1–2nd in the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023 Europe Open Qualifier. However, soon after, his path with Question Mark came to an end, and in March 2023 he joined IKLA. There, he won his first championship title at ESEA Cash Cup: Europe – Autumn 2023 #1, also earning bronze medals at Gameinside.ua ROG Summer Cup 2023 and a 4th-place finish at European Pro League Season 8.

At the end of 2023, Artem “kensizor” Kapran moved to ENEIDA, but the partnership did not bring success. In February 2024, his contract was terminated, and subsequent performances with Ex-ENEIDA were also unremarkable.

Despite a tough stretch, he continued to show solid performance, earning a spot in kONO.ECF in March 2024. With this team, he achieved a string of victories — including titles at United21 Season 16, Gameinside.ua ROG Summer Cup 2024, Gameinside.ua ROG Winter Cup 2024, United21 Season 24, and Justice Christmas Cup. He also secured runner-up finishes at European Pro League Season 17: Division 2, Gameinside.ua ROG Autumn Cup 2024, European Pro League Season 21: Division 2, and Galaxy Battle #5, along with several other podium placements such as 3rd place at United21 Season 18 and 19, and 5–8th at Elisa Invitational Spring 2024.

Following these achievements, in January 2025, the Ukrainian player joined B8, marking a new stage in his career. Since then, he has added even more accomplishments — gold medals at CCT Season 2 European Series #18 and ESL Challenger League Season 49: Europe, silver at CCT Season 2 Global Finals, and bronze at CCT Season 2 European Series #17, MESA Nomadic Masters Spring 2025, and StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2025. Additionally, with B8, he placed 5–8th at CCT Season 2 European Series #16, 17–19th at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, 21–24th at IEM Cologne 2025, 4th at Perfect World CS Challenge Series #1, and 9–16th at BLAST Bounty Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier.

As of October 2025, Artem “kensizor” Kapran continues to represent B8 on the professional Counter-Strike 2 scene as a consistent member of the main roster.
