The Russian team 1WIN announced the signing of a contract with Egor “flamie” Vasilyev. The esports player, now 24 years old, has not competed at a major tournament since November. After leaving the main roster of Natus Vincere, he appeared only in NAVI Junior at the final stage of WePlay Academy Season 2.
This news came four days after 1WIN benched two players – Vadim "Polt" Tsirova and Danila "Ravenlot" Bikvaidze, thus beginning to review his roster after an unsuccessful performance in the playoffs of ESEA Premier Europe Season 39.
Flamie played for Natus Vincere for about six years, joining them in early 2015. With his participation, NAVI won almost a dozen trophies, and also reached the finals of the major three times. However, in 2021, he was first temporarily and then permanently replaced by Valery “b1t” Vakhovsky.
1WIN Manager Artem "mouseTT" Karyagin commented on the changes in the lineup, noting that he was glad that flamie joined the team. He called Egor a world-class player who will be able to bring to 1WIN both his high level of individual play and the enormous experience accumulated during his participation in competitions.
Thus, 1WIN remains to find one more player before the start of the European stage of ESL Challenger League Season 40.
