According to statistics published by the HLTV portal, almost all of Natus Vincere’s indicators improved after the place of Kirill “boombl4” Mikhailov was taken over by Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev. Although the team has yet to announce whether the player will join them permanently, he has performed well in the last two tournaments.
After sdy began playing for Natus Vincere, the team began to win the round 3% more often (58% of the time), be the first to kill the enemy player in the round more often (53% of the time), act more successfully both in the minority and realizing a numerical advantage, and also use flash grenades more effectively. The only indicator that became lower – damage received from regular grenades. In addition, the number of rounds in which the team performed multikills remained unchanged.
Sdy joined Natus Vincere in June and has already taken part in two tournaments. At the BLAST Premier Spring Final, the Ukrainian team won the grand final, and at IEM Cologne 2022 they took second place, losing to FaZe. The next significant performance ahead of the team – group stage of BLAST Premier Fall 2022, which starts on August 19. Perhaps by this time it will become known about NAVI’s further plans for cooperation with sdy.
