At the beginning of the week, Natus Vincere Operations Director Alexey “xaoc” Kucherov commented on changes in the team. Currently there are four people left on the roster, since Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov left him “due to high reputational risks.”
In particular, xaoc denied recent rumors that NAVI is negotiating with the Latvian player Marek "YEKINDAR" Galinskis. On May 31, in a comment to the Dexerto resource, he explained that Denis “electoNic” Sharipov will most likely take on the responsibilities of an in-game leader. The organization is also considering the possibility of signing a “buster” contract with Timur. Tulepov. However, it is worth considering that such a transition will only be possible if buster, who is currently part of Virtus.pro, receives free agent status, since Natus Vincere does not want to make a deal with the Russian team. Now both YEKINDAR and buster have existing contracts with Virtus.pro, and representatives of the organization have already mentioned that “none of the players can leave VP for free.”
As for electroNic, he has been playing for NAVI since November 2017 and has been among the top 10 players in the world for four consecutive years. Now he has to realize himself in a new capacity, taking charge of the team for the first time during the game.
