K27 — a CS2 esports team

K27 is a Russian esports organization that officially launched the project on June 5, 2024. The idea for the club came from Ivan "Kondrat" Kondratov, who also became its founder and CEO. The team entered Counter-Strike by signing the Vaseline Worms lineup, and by spring 2026 it had already climbed to #32 in the Valve ranking.

K27 quickly moved past the stage of being just another new tag. A proven core, smart roster moves, and solid management helped the team lock in its place on the CIS and European scene and pick up several notable titles.

K27 Roster History

K27 revealed its first official lineup on June 5, 2024. The roster started with a five-man stack that had played under the Vaseline Worms tag. After a couple of key changes, the team really came alive and started getting results.

Achievements of the First Lineup

K27's first lineup looked like this: kashl1d (Daniil Dronov), Aliot (Nikita Kovalyov), Twizell (Dmitry Ryzhin), xeedo (Alexey Mikulich), relaxxie (Karim Miftakhov). The team's coach was Yuri "Meand" Mandzhiev.

That five-man unit had not won any major titles yet, but it laid the groundwork for the team's later jump. K27 quickly moved past the stage where the tag had only just shown up on the radar, and in 2024 it already took bronze at the 2024 Open Esports Games in CS2.
