History

Founded in 2017, Sokoly entered the Ukrainian Higher League, the country's second tier league. In its first two seasons, the team finished 6th and 9th. After the 2018–19 season, Kharkiv based BC Politekhnik left the SuperLeague as it could not give financial guarantees.[2] Instead, Sokoly received a spot for the 2019–20 campaign.[3]

gollark: Wow, stargates dial slowly.
gollark: If you look at PB2, what killed that was ultimately, if I remember it right, more poor performance than anything done by players.
