Natus Vincere announced that it is promoting Daniil "headtr1ck" Valitova for transfer. Thus, the Ukrainian esportsman will leave the organization, in which he played in various compositions for two years, starting with NAVI Youth in 2020.
To date, headrt1ck, who is now 18 years old, has become the best player in NAVI Junior. His rating on 74 maps played is 1.16, which is noticeably higher than the second highest scoring member of the team, Andrey “nipl” Kuharsky (1.01). In addition, headtr1ck made a significant contribution to the achievements of NAVI Junior at WePlay Academy, being the fifth most productive player in the recent season. The eSportsman had the opportunity to compete at larger competitions. In particular, he appeared as a replacement at ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier Fall Groups. However, commenting on his recent matches, the NAVI coach noted that headtr1ck “is not yet ready to play confidently enough against top-level teams.”
Commenting on the departure of headtr1ck, NAVI Junior coach Amiran “aMi” Rekhviashvili noted that in two years at NAVI the player has shown a high level of skill and will be a suitable candidate for any team. Headtr1ck, in turn, thanked the coach for his support and mentioned that, no matter how difficult it was to accept that his time in NAVI Junior had come to an end, it was time to move on.
