GuardiaN returns to Na`Vi, B1ad3 moves to coach

20/9/2019 - 19:08

Natus Vincere have completed their lineup with the acquisition of Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács from FaZe, while Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy has become the team's new coach, the organization has announced.

GuardiaN joins Natus Vincere as a replacement for Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko, who decided to retire from competing as a player following the StarLadder Major, with BLAST Pro Series Moscow being his last tournament with the team.

The 28-year-old makes a return to Na`Vi, whom he represented for nearly four years from 2013 to 2017, helping them reach Major finals at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca and MLG Columbus as well as win titles at several tournaments such as ESL One New York 2016.

GuardiaN will once again don Na`Vi's colors

Natus Vincere reacquired GuardiaN from FaZe, who had bought out the AWPer from the Ukrainian organization in the summer of 2017 before going on to become the best team in the world by early 2018.

You can find the best CSGO betting sites here.

Throughout 2019, the European mixture faced mixed results while they struggled to find a new in-game leader following the release of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen at the end of last year, which resulted in the loss of a spot in the top-10 ranking for the first time in the core's history after they parted ways with Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski.

"It's nice to come back home, where I started my long journey as a professional player. I will do my best to give this team everything I can, for it to become the best team and to win a major. Thank you for this opportunity," GuardiaN said in a statement to Na`Vi.

B1ad3 comes in as the new coach, replacing Mikhaylo "⁠Kane⁠" Blagin after occupying the position of Na`Vi's esports director since late March. The veteran has previously coached two teams: Gambit for a seven-month period in late 2018 to early 2019 and HellRaisers in a short stint only lasting for the DreamHack Winter 2014 Major.

GuardiaN and B1ad3 complete Na`Vi's lineup less than two weeks before their participation at DreamHack Masters Malmö, which will take place on October 1-6. At the moment, the team is also confirmed to play in the 10th season of ESL Pro League and at BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, where they will have a slim chance to claim a spot at the Global Final.

The Slovakian's addition makes Natus Vincere's lineup the following:

Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev
Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev
Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov
Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov
Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács

Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy (coach)

2019-09-21 13:02

+++ he is worst

you wont, s1mple is going elsewhere

2019-09-20 19:15

Most likely he is gonna leave after his contact expires.(end of 2019)

2019-09-20 19:22

interesting, source on his contract?

2019-09-20 19:36

a lot of CIS people in csgo industry were saying that including ceh9, who is a famous youtuber

2019-09-20 19:47

2019-09-20 20:25

He signed a 2 year contract in late 2017 so it expires soon, if he doesnt resign it.

2019-09-20 20:24

why would he do that? if he isn't leaving for astralis, that is a downgrade

2019-09-21 03:43

simple in astralis would make team tier1000

2019-09-21 11:23

2019-09-20 21:22

F5 BTW nice to see Guardian in NaVi

Wait I thought guardian doesn't want to play with s1mple again

2019-09-20 19:27

according to the rumors he won't be in Navi for much longer.

2019-09-20 20:45

People change :)

2019-09-20 21:29

s1mple is leaving. Guardian does not see eye to eye with s1mple at all, nothing has changed.

2019-09-21 06:39

S1mple is not leaving right away Pretty sure they will play a few tournaments and check how things are going

2019-09-21 09:35

Then there was a problem in seized. The Guardian said that he left NaVi because of dark affairs behind.

2019-09-21 10:01

yes

2019-09-20 19:19

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Guardian isnt half the player he used to be

2019-09-20 20:52

Imagine not liking someone because of their fans. Lmao Tell me how rational does it sound to hate on a team coz of their fans??

It is a very good move, just wait and see

Exactly mens, Na'Vi #1 team would be a sight to see..

2019-09-21 10:15

That's BS. He hasn't been performing lately but that's mostly NiKo's fault.

he hasnt been performing to a great standard in faze ever^^ and before that in navi when s1mple was there: well we all remember that shitshow.

Bending truth would work if facts didn't exist.

2019-09-21 10:22

well if u can just say whatever ur saying is fact then so can i. guardian has never in faze been anywhere close to what he was in 2015.

2019-09-21 10:25

Yeah, because AWP isn't same as it was in 2015, lol.

2019-09-21 13:01

thats not the point. the point is, guardian is washed up (no matter the reason) and i dont see how hes gonna lift this team to the top. btw, zywoo, s1mple and a bunch of other players dont give a fuck that the awp got nerfed loads of years ago.

2019-09-21 15:49

2019-09-20 20:11

I think that forest and getright showed that after been top1 you will never return (and now mibr is proving that also)

Flipside were a good upset team with minimal talent and let's not forget who scouted electronic out from no where who is now a top 5 player in the world. Guy is a mastermind

2019-09-22 09:05

Top 5 is arguable.

wasn't he literally top 5 last yr bro?

Wasn't Flipside3 one of the s1mple's first pro teams too?

2019-09-25 17:47

You serious? Whole navi is navi because of him he literally developed stars and whole navi was taught by him

2019-09-20 20:23

no wonder they can't win anything

2019-09-20 20:32

Well I mean Na'Vi as a team alone, have more accomplishments than your entire country in CS. But you're right, doesn't really say much

2019-09-20 21:18

yeah indeed doesn't say much at all

Lol he plays for Forze which is currently ranked 12 and he is the best rated player among them with 1.21 rating.Are u dumb or blind that you don't see him play?

9 yrs old redditFag spotted

2019-09-20 22:24

You really have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Guardians downfall was having to play on a mixed team; the moment he gets back on Navi speaking his native language, you’re gonna look the the dumb bastard your mother knows that you are. Xsepower has been relevant for MAYBE 2 months, and it will most likely fade away and then disappear. Remember the furia hype? Everyone praising them for being the future of their scene? Yah, I can’t remember...how’d that work out?

2019-09-21 06:46

Guardian will not speak in his native language in navi...

2019-09-21 07:27

Yeah so you want to split hairs. His native is Slovak...much closer to Russian than it is to English...which was the fucking point.

2019-09-21 07:36

It still isn't his native language tho...

2019-09-21 07:38

And xsepower still isn’t better than guardian...

2019-09-21 07:41

I never said that he is ;)

2019-09-21 07:43

Yeah, these 9 year old newphags seem to think so tho.

2019-09-21 07:45

Xsepower is in good form. You can't deny that... But imo guardian is good pick for navi

2019-09-21 07:48

He’s in great form. Many people have been for months at a time. Guardian is a legend who suffered in form on a mixed team...the rest of his career was god tier form. 99/100 xsepower won’t see this kind of form for even 1 year straight in his career.

2019-09-21 07:50

I'm fan of guardian so I agree haha:)

2019-09-21 07:56

OMEGALUL Na Brain we Will See lmao NAVI will definitly flop

2019-09-21 11:22

lmao both are 2x guardian current form

its quite easy to have good stats when playing in tier 15 teams and tier 33 tournaments. NO NAMERS

calling somebody "no namer" is just embracing their skill but not understanding how it came to be. names are being made, right now guardian is throwing his in the bin and sxepower showing he is capable of having similiar form than OLD guardian. guardian already proved he is not professional, refusing to train with navi because s1mple was too cocky for little guardian.

2019-09-20 19:23

NO NAMEEEEEER

ehm? what does kebab country has to do any of it ?

2019-09-20 19:35

He's out of "arguments" so he's gotta use the prejudice card.

You and the rest of the forze hype train are giving this kid way too much credit. He’s been relevant for 2 months at best. Remember furia? Kscerato? Yeah, enough said.

2019-09-21 06:49

Kscerato is still an awesome player, one of the best in brazil?

Sure...but that isn’t saying much at all in the current meta.

2019-09-21 21:58

oh I see, some russkie kid plays nicely against few CIS teams and hitting some heads and he is comparable to GuardiaN in his prime when he was probably the best player in the scene in 2015 competing all year on LANs against the best teams in CSGO. (I am not saying that this is good move for NaVi, I am just saying that your comparison is flawed).

2019-09-20 19:34

ur right very few players come close to prime guardian but i can see the direction hes coming from at least. guardian has not been great in faze, never for extended periods of times at least, and most of the time he was very mediocre. ye he still knows how to get some frags but imo he was overrated as fuck. and before that in navi? how long ago was his prime? were talking many years. and hes gonna awp over the best player to ever touch cs? blabla s1mple said he wants to rifle blabla but its bullshit. i cant at all see how this move makes sense with how both s1mple and guardian like to play the game.

2019-09-20 19:59

they afraid to take sh1ro, cuz he did not play at tier1, and sexpower is costs TOOOO MUCH cuz ForZe don't wanna give him to NA'VI

sh1ro is not ready yet xsepower and Jame wont be coming cuz forZe and Avangar are showing good results atm

That have been said 300 times before, yet it happens. We will see. Either NiKo takes the IGL role 100% & they add 2 new players (Broky as AWPer) + a rifler

Yes , its not aleksib , its coldzera

Aleksib not going to Faze hltv.org/news/27929/niko-broky-has-been-..

Faze +s1mple +coldzera please

Well sorry that wont happen. Cold might join yeah, but that is if NiKo stay on the IGL role, otherwise it could be Aleksib & Broky.

why would guardian want to be back if he left bc of s1mple? maybe hes leaving soon? if not, this can end up really bad. either way, gl guardian

he left Navi because faze paid massive buyout. Now faze wants him gone because he is trash and Navi is willing to pay big money, why not?

seems like u didnt read my comment haha

you didn't read my comment either. Everything is about money, not personal relationships

DOBREEEE LACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NaVi top10 -> NaVi top20 2020 s1mple -> tope5 team ( FaZe / Liquid / NRG / Cr4zy)

2020 s1mple -> top1 team (Na'Vi)

FaZe in 2k19 lul CR4ZY dont have money to buyout and pay him 20k$ per month NRG dont need him

2019-09-21 07:07

RIP S1mple's career

He returns and will retire at home.

finally

LUL

gonna be fun to watch

2019-09-20 19:21

cant wait to see those 0:10 timing rounds :)))

Good luck Godian

More excited to see blad3 as coach

RIP

muahahahaahaa blade coach back to tier 4 team so sad ((((

Navi tier 6

s1mple to faze in a couple months, contract expires soon

tbh s1mple has been way more consistent with the awp in the past year than guardian has

kick boombla and +sdy or something like that ez top5 navi

They arent faze or ence to kick their igl

POGGERS

who cars

Welcome back GuardiaN

Sick line-up! on paper atleast ;)

Eh. Guardian is average at best nowadays. It's nice he'll finish his career in a Na'vi jersery though. Where he belongs.

s1mple will make him retire in 1 year max

You literally have gospadarov under contract you fucking retards, why the fuck are you buying out the contract of someone you cut that is on the verge of retirement.

you really think navi cut guardian when he left for faze? how fucking delusional are you

2019-09-20 19:40

Yeah assuming they actually made a smart decision is probably giving them too much credit.

2019-09-20 19:52

oh another autistic american, just dont shoot at your local school, do it at home, ty

2019-09-20 19:53

so coldzera confirmed to faze at this point??

No S1mple to FaZe and Coldzera to NaVi.

Cold to navi? Obviously hes replacing GTR you moron

2019-09-21 01:14

you punk

2019-09-21 11:26

u guys so funny lol

2019-09-21 11:37

Still feeling that it not gonna make Navi grate, but let's see Gl fucking Ladislav Suka Kovac

Great, I have lots of memories from his Na'Vi vs LG and SK

Get MIR kick Flamie

Legend <3

s1mple is wasting his time in this team

2019-09-20 19:43

NaVi currently 3rd CIS (after AVANGAR and forZe), NaVi good again soon ?

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

LETS FUCKING GO NAVIII

gg navi

s1mple never win a major ggwp

Welcome back Ladislav

This is where the fun begins!!!

Oh Lord Blade ??? And Guardian gl but this looks like a dumpster fire with Simple and Guardian.

2019-09-20 19:28

Nani the fuck

Why go back to NaVi to play with S1mple, when he left NaVi because of S1mple?

LETS GO

insane lineup and nice tactical leader blad3

2019-09-20 19:30

ohhh ahhh

people are underestimating the coach change, I think it might be even bigger than guardian joining. imagine going from kane who basically does nothing for the team other than being zeus's best pal to blad3 who has one of the deepest minds of CSGO

blade way of thinking might be outdated, i think this is risky. now navi have no real igl and blades success in gambit as a coach was nonexistent. blade cant convert player into igl like zews did with nitro, but i think blade would be useful if navi picked up some1 with long time igl experience

It's not risky compared to having kane as a coach, it can only be an improvement. blad3 got flipsid3 to tons of majors in a row aswell as making top 8 in one which is huge results considering their lineups. CIS teams usually play very loose and besides what IGL could navi even pick up? qikert/jame from Avangar isn't possible and there's no other easy option. Hopefully boombl4 will grow into the role but with players like s1mple, electronic, flamie and guardian you definitely don't need deep tactics as a loose style could work even better.

2019-09-20 19:37

sad times for natus vince “metuz”

2019-09-20 19:39

/please disband

You love to see it

NaVi tier1 again welcome back Ladik

2 main oppers?

2019-09-20 19:33

Guardian is washed up, B1ad3 has barely any results, they might get better without Zeus, but I doubt this is the move to do it.

i'm happy cause faze got rid of him lol

Had to be done (though NiKo too tbh), but Na'Vi shouldn't have picked him up.

still shit team LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

2019-09-20 19:45

HOLY SHIET!!

#navination!!!! S1mple isnt alone anymore!

Hello? Electronic?

NIce!

NIIIIIICEEEEEE

Lets fucking gooo

How much they paid for him?

SAD!

Now s1mple can win major

With B1ad3 NAVI tier 3 in CIS.

2019-09-20 19:42

NICE PICKUP! WP NAVI

nice finally FaZe comeback

I will do my best to give this team everything I can, for it to become the best team and to win a major. Shows up at practice, once. But no in all seriousness, wish them the best. Playerwise they have potential, just gotta show it.

LOL

2019-09-21 03:17

interesting and dangerous at the same time

2019-09-20 19:41

spicy

YESSS

news.unikrn.com/article/guardian-faze-cl..

Time to look for new team whose fan i will be

GG WP

*facepalm*

2019-09-20 19:44

This lineup is incredible

NaVi #1

Well done Navi you guys give more pressure to s1mple now... S1mple needs to leave now

omg

ahahahahh

Great move imo, but its kinda expected.

TRASHIEST MOVE EVER AHAHA. WHY NA`VI? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

2019-09-20 19:50

2019-09-20 19:51

WTFFFFFFF POG

and still vata flag . no wins for sure

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

gg tier 4

omg blade on coach navi will go to the plant 10 seconds before the end of the round

Expected but still a nice move from Na'Vi though. They will be back at top I assume.

Back?

Yes. They're #10. I meant top 5 at least.

2019-09-21 17:25

what a trash team imao

s1mple will make him autistic again LUL

2019-09-20 19:55

nice name

2019-09-21 11:42

wow

Navi is where u belong after all ,goodluck to you beast hope you and s1mple destroy everyone <3

Guardian: FaZe Will Be My Last Home Before I Retire what a joke :DDD RIP for Navi good for Faze

Lying is GuardiaN's special behavior line.

2019-09-20 20:30

nt oskar

2019-09-21 02:25

WHEN guardian star player , faze got him , now get back shit :D

dam thats nice actually

what a boring move..

Assuming boom is igl. They can be better because of all around better players. I just feel like boom as igl wont work.

+1, I think Boombl4 will be even worse than Zeus in terms of fragging and I don't believe in him as IGL at all.

2019-09-20 20:06

maybe s1mple igl?

2019-09-21 11:43

His understanding of the game and game-sense are outstanding, so would be interesting to see this, but on the other hand full time IGL can make his performance significantly worse.

2019-09-21 14:21

makes it to the top 10 worst moves in professional csgo, maybe even top 5

RIP GuardiaN's career, it is truly over

Ladislav Suka Covac is back :)

RIP Navi :(

2019-09-20 20:03

why

2019-09-20 20:04

So whos awping for faze?

broky

2019-09-20 20:26

gg ez major FAKIN LADISLAVV

Unexpected

Ladislav "FaZe Will Be My Last Home Before I Retire" Kovács Hopefully him & s1mple will win a major together, they both deserve it.

2019-09-20 21:00

no fucking way, faze why? ok faze, back to tier 4 without guardian

2019-09-20 20:07

I bet 100 bucks that the Navi will win the next major

Welcome back :)

i wonder which stand-in faze is going for since they wont buy coldzera now and they already have broky... faze looks like it is going to be worse than before. now that NiKo said they're not getting aleksib. My hope was they getting aleksib than we'd have a good team but w/o aleksib the team is fucked.

Who said cold wont join ...

Ladislav "Cyka " Kovacs

2019-09-20 20:16

Love seeing people underrate B1ad3 just as they did adreN and underrate GuardiaN. Surely even you haters can come to agree with us GuardiaN fans that this is better than Zeus and Kane. Boombl4 will grow to be a fantastic player.

B1ad3 was really good igl probably really good coach too but problem is who is going to be the igl in navi. Sure B1ad3 can make tactics etc but who is going to give calls in match. Im not so sure about guardian in this line-up.

boombl4 isn't a bad IGL. That's why they got him in the first place.

2019-09-23 02:32

2019-09-20 20:21

2019-09-20 20:37

why pick up so washed up player

2019-09-20 20:39

because they are washed up you know..

guardian ok, but bl1ad3?

2019-09-20 20:40

B1ad3 is CIS mastermind, he will do great as a coach.

2019-09-20 20:44

LETS GO NAVI!!!!

2 AWPERS okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy they gonna suck xaxaxaxa:D:D:D:D

MIBR Kngv and fallen?

2019-09-20 22:00

na-vi in shambles *again* without zeus.

picking up a washed up bot for zeus GJ NaVi

2019-09-20 20:47

look vitality fan talking about washed up players... lmao vitality has most washed up players so shut the fuck up dumb

2019-09-20 20:57

I am not a vitality fan triggered kid. guardiaN is inconsistent washed up guy

2019-09-20 23:21

no doubt about guardian, he is not good anymore but people keep saying that zywoo is better than s1mple.... on what basis? he hasn't performed well against t1 team.... he is a awesome player though but not better than s1mple.... even when Navi lost any series s1mple always do have a +30 k/d but look at zywoo stats against t1 team.... how can he be better than s1mple so I wanna tell everyone that stop overreacting and accept the fact that s1mple is better..... the reason s1mple can't win a major is cleared to everyone so it doesn't matter to me that he still doesn't have a major all i see is his confidence and hard carrying for Navi not like zywoo choking against t1 teams

2019-09-21 04:12

you don't need to tell me that. and but what people keeps saying is irrelevant for me in this context :)

2019-09-21 15:48

I'm not loving it. Guardian is struggling with motivation issues for a couple years now and blade's CS philosophy won't work with russian mentality.

2019-09-20 20:48

lol what? What is difference between Russian mentality and any other CIS nation's mentally ?

2019-09-20 21:04

Russians are a lot more egotistical!

2019-09-21 10:31

I have bad news for you. You are brainwashed. Anti-Ruski propaganda in action

2019-09-21 11:48

I live in a russian town in Latvia so i know for a fact that rusians are egotistical what the heck are you talking about?

2019-09-21 18:21

Guardian 1st awp Simple 2nd awp/rifler FUCK YEAH ! GL NAVI !!:D

2019-09-20 20:51

Finally, B1ad3 is where I said he should have been a long time ago!

2019-09-20 20:55

Rip

hopefully they win major

Faze.Coldzera

2019-09-20 20:58

Ever since he gained massive weight he's been declining. Start to workout, you'll feel better overall and it will bring your fire back. Awful form lately, I hope he comes back to his best form, because he was INSANE in Na'Vi. GL!

2019-09-20 20:59

niceee!!! now mibr only need to worry about astralis then

omg lol mibr need to beat t3 teams first sucker

2019-09-21 04:22

we are multiple majors winners across ALL versions of cs, I dont need to hear stupid comments like this rofl

2019-09-21 04:53

HELL YEAH LETS GO GODDIAN! But i want Zeus for coach

navi for next major

2019-09-20 21:38

Atleast better than zeus

2019-09-20 21:41

Wow! Welcome back!

2019-09-20 21:42

Good luck B1ad3 and co!

2019-09-20 21:45

I can see this team's future: S1mple gets frustrated after so many whiffs from Guardian (yes, he is whiffing like a mad man nowadays) and they start the drama all over again...

WOOOOOOW here we go aghain <3

yep xd

2019-09-21 03:18

Unfortunately, GuardiaN is done, too many examples of players past their prime never making it up there. Also, s1mple is a better awper, so what's even the point of GuardiaN? Maybe they'll have a good tournament or two, but this won't change much. Oh well, guess we'll see.

2019-09-20 21:57

This is gonna be gud. Don't vorry guys

2019-09-20 22:09

boombl4 igl?

2019-09-20 22:11

Yes, S1mple will be captain and move back to a rifler position and boombl4 will be IGL according to the navi site.

2019-09-20 22:15

thats lowkey good for them

2019-09-20 22:19

This could make or break Navi, also this might point to S1mple leaving in the near future, but the signs could point in wrong directions.

2019-09-20 22:12

i hope he will win the next major with s1mple

B1ade as coach. fuk yeah

2019-09-21 01:34

This looks like better version of old Navi

2019-09-21 02:17

Ye ye for sure, I'm excited to see how it goes

2019-09-21 02:58

sorry but s1mple > GuardiaN on awp

2019-09-21 02:13

yeah but s1mple >>>>guardian on everything else. so i guess Guaidian will be the main awper

2019-09-21 11:30

I like this new Na'vi honestly. I miss Boombl4 performing at his true level and if We get a somewhat decent version of Guardian, this could be a pretty dope team (in any case Guardian is an upgrade from Zeus though, not a bad move imo)

2019-09-21 02:24

worst move for navi

2019-09-21 03:01

Could have taken sh1ro but no, can't see boomich reigning s1mple when they lose so many rounds.

2019-09-21 03:33

Disband after 4-5 months, sad for navi, they had a chance in early 2019 to get Jame+qikert or Jame+buster but they were convinced by bot Zeus to remain the same. Now Avangar is top1 CIS team and are on the rise. And I don't see this NaVi beating Avangar in bo3

2019-09-21 03:37

2019-09-21 06:13

I can't believe someone being paid as a coach by simply saying "Rush B no stop cyka blyat" Every round

2019-09-21 06:59

2019-09-21 07:06

all the ruskis "top1 navi" LUUUUUL

navi top1 again, long have we waited. cant wait for the first navi vs fluke clan match LUL. also everyone who left faze ended up in better team than faze lol.

2019-09-21 10:57

nice 😎

2019-09-21 11:27

im waiting for reactions of hltv experts who begged for zeus and edward to be removed for months, when navi will choke all upcoming tournaments with this nonsense lineup... boombla cant igl for shit and they dont need 2 awpers

2019-09-21 11:33

yeap. boombla is so bad. i hope he will announce retirement soon

2019-09-21 12:20

How do you know he cant IGL ? Did you play in the same team with him or what ?

Officially the most skilled team in CSGO! If they can actually get their shit together unlike last time remains to be seen!

2019-09-21 14:02

Astralis has 5 top ten players, how many does Navi have?

2019-09-21 15:34

I see you completely misunderstood, but it's all right

2019-09-21 15:39

You are not skilled if you don't show it. Then you are nothing but potential.

2019-09-21 15:41

Really bombla igl?

2019-09-23 01:29

Yes.

2019-09-23 06:22

This could work... But they should have given Ange1 a chance, though.

2019-09-21 19:32

He is co-owner of HR, i dont think he would leave his organization

2019-09-24 08:44

He sold his share long time ago, from what I've heard. I'm not sure, though.
