Perfecto joins Natus Vincere; GuardiaN benched

24/1/2020 - 11:09

Natus Vincere have signed Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy from Syman, with the 20-year-old rifler replacing Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács on the lineup.

The announcement follows previous reports about of Natus Vincere looking to replace GuardiaN, with their first target being Evgeny "⁠FL1T⁠" Lebedev from forZe. As the deal fell through, Natus Vincere turned to Perfecto who averaged a 1.10 rating over his last six months with Syman.

Perfecto is Natus Vincere's newest signing

The signing of Perfecto marks Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev's return to primary AWPing, while GuardiaN is placed on the bench and is open for offers. Natus Vincere's coach Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy explained that the squad did not have the synergy that was expected, pointing out the language barrier as a cause:

"A few days after Epicenter, we spoke with the players and agreed that the squad did not have the synergy we expected to have by the end of the year. Everybody tried very hard and progress was noticeable but in critical moments of the match, we lacked the coherence where we would react to the opponent's actions as one unit.

"One of the reasons is the language barrier, which was especially noticeable in the game against tier-1 teams, where quality and speed of communication is of great importance.

"That's why we decided to replace Ladislav, and s1mple returns to the AWP role, because he is simply the best in that field.

"A huge thanks to Ladislav for his persistence and effort. He was very worried about every bad result and always worked on improving himself. He's a world-class player, I'm sure he'll prove himself in future. His place will be taken by Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy, who established himself playing for Syman Gaming. Despite his lack of experience, Perfecto fits our team perfectly by his personality, the way of thinking and playstyle. He is a young, talented and dedicated player.

"I would like to express my gratitude to Syman Gaming for the utmost constructive approach to negotiations." - B1ad3

After their third roster change in a year, following departures of Ioann "⁠Edward⁠" Sukhariev, Danylo "⁠Zeus⁠" Teslenko, and now GuardiaN, Natus Vincere have one of the youngest squads at the top level, with Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev at 22 being the oldest member of the team. Natus Vincere will debut on LAN eight days from now, at the ICE Challenge in London.

Natus Vincere are now:

Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev
Denis "⁠electronic⁠" Sharipov
Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov
Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev
Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy

Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy (coach)
Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács (benched)

RIP NAVI, tier3 player

2020-01-24 12:09

Guardian lmao, imagine getting replaced by tier 3 player

2020-01-24 12:53

NaVi just think adding tier 3 player will help them, they are wrong, they will not achieve anything

2020-01-24 13:21

don't be so salty Ladik

2020-01-24 16:46

Not sure what I think about moving a tier 3-4 player into a tier1 team. But he is young and have been putting up numbers recently, so lets see. NaVi seriously need a stabile roster, s1mple makes it hard though

2020-01-24 12:15

Best move all year...for Complexity rip navi

2020-01-27 17:10

Nice flair friend

2020-01-27 17:44

Best flair of 2020

2020-01-27 19:56

He is perfecto for the team

2020-01-24 12:29

Guardian bye bye

2020-01-24 15:56

Haha 🤫

2020-01-24 19:17

sdy is overrated

+1 he is almost 50 like oskar and guardian, he's gonna become very shit very soon

2020-01-26 21:23

+1 in 2020 lmfao

2020-01-29 12:22

Nah, it shouldn't have been sdy. He is too overrated by CIS people, Perfecto is a great choice, I've been watching him for a long time and he's performed quite well lately. I'm sure he'll keep it up on NaVi

2020-01-24 11:14

probably right

Anyone from spirit, avangar and forze would fix navi right up, but why ruin those teams for a dead team?

2020-01-24 11:16

LUL true

Spirit should be disbanded AVANGAR (VP right now) won't sell their players, they've said it many times If I were FL1T, I would join NaVi, but it's his choice and it might be even right

2020-01-24 11:19

spirit is a solid top 30 team.

2020-01-24 11:26

They've been on the scene for a long time and still haven't had any important achievements...

2020-01-24 11:29

same could be said for almost every single team outside of the top 20. There goals might not be to win tier 1 events or even tier 2. Every team has different expectations and goals.

2020-01-24 11:31

Idk, it might be something personal, but I never liked Spirit. They are a rubbish team for me

i understand where you're coming from. i personally like dark horse teams which is what they are.

2020-01-24 11:33

Yep, I just want to see more new dark horse teams, that's it

2020-01-24 11:34

avangar are washed up now, it's not a good idea to sell the roster anyway

2020-01-24 18:18

Why not Xsepower, imo he is one of the best upcoming awpers at the moment and certainly one of the best in CIS

2020-01-24 14:52

He is not bad, but he is not insane. I'm not saying he would be a bad choice for NaVi, but since they were looking for a rifler, Perfecto is a good one. And they also tried to get FL1T, and forZe said that they weren't interested in selling their players

2020-01-24 15:41

Xsepower is toxic, remember all his beef with Vitality?

2020-01-25 00:15

SDY is IGL -8/8

2020-01-24 15:25

NaVi already have an IGL

And what is he like? What did Na`Vi win with him?

2020-01-24 15:49

A good IGL, he has been the IGL only for a few months, no wonder that they haven't won anything yet

2020-01-24 15:51

I agree sdy is overrated, I don't think he is bad but not as good as he is made up to be, but there is a plethora of talent in the CIS region that is potentially better than perfecto. I am a Navi fan for years and years I hope perfecto plays well and I hope blad3 did as much researching into perfecto as boombl4

2020-01-25 06:15

Let's hope together

2020-01-25 07:04

sdy wont play with s1mple or s1mple wont play with sdy

2020-01-24 13:13

Sdy said on his stream that he won't join NaVi :'(

2020-01-24 14:32

Spirit wouldn't have given him I guess

2020-01-24 15:15

s1mple had a conflict with sdy

2020-01-24 19:39

What was that?

what?

2020-01-25 00:29

what was the conflict?

2020-01-25 01:15

s1mple said that sdy is a soft player, he has no skill

2020-01-25 01:48

check theleany answer

2020-01-25 15:42

yea i saw lol

Perfecto great player, navi will comeback soon <3

comeback to tier3 you mean?

2020-01-24 11:12

Nope, to major finals

2020-01-24 11:20

Flag doesnt check out

2020-01-24 12:24

Comeback where?

2020-01-24 13:26

2020-01-24 19:03

oi oi oi look who speaks perfect english, stfu fake russia

2020-01-24 19:33

Xaxaxa xMacmeNx > s1mple

2k20 is already gg for NaVi. FL1TJ0 > Perfecto

2020-01-24 11:18

cannot get what the other team does not want to give up

2020-01-24 16:56

great choice man just 4 russians and s1mple like 4 black and white girl scene

2020-01-24 12:19

We gonna see in 3 months Can this player give some impact to navi or not

2020-01-24 13:19

Yeeeeah! I found the only comment from clever guy!

2020-01-24 15:14

exactly. cannot be much worse than what they got with washed up guardian

2020-01-24 18:10

gg to NAVI?

2020-01-24 13:52

brutal not a good pick up maybe guardian needed just a little bit more time to get comfortable again but gl anyways

Language barrier +low confidence

Dude he speaks perfect russian

2020-01-24 11:38

I also confused by what Blade said about language barrier, wtf - Guardian played in the team for 3 years and his russian was totally fine, but he forgot it completely after one year in faze, strange.

2020-01-24 11:50

+1, and regarding Guardian's comeback to Navi, Blade said he fits perfectly too... All the best to them after all! ;) Navi one love since 2010!

2020-01-24 12:13

Imagine choosing to play with S1mple instead of Ramz1kB0$$

2020-01-24 14:07

totally fine? His russian like my english. He knows a few words: Putin, vodka, balalaika and go zhrat'

2020-01-24 12:14

you're wrong - I watched his interview, he was pretty understandable, anyway you don't need to know language as native to communicate in cs go. I sure that language barrier was the latest reason for his kick.

2020-01-24 12:17

Being understable as a speaker and understanding others are different things.

2020-01-24 14:30

Some people lose other languages easier than others

not that strange, i was learning german 8 years and at the end i could nicely communicate, 2 years after school when i didnt speak single word of german i realized i know shit.

2020-01-24 13:24

confused as well...4 russians, 1 ukrainian...the russian who has spoken russian his entire life while playing in russian speaking teams other than the last 1.5 years had difficulty speaking russian? the fuck..lol

2020-01-24 16:06

right, thank you for a good addition, mate!

2020-01-24 16:26

Almost 2 years solely speaking english, the problem wasn't that he didn't know Russian, he just wasn't used to it being his primary language and effectively wasn't quick with his calls/comms. That is still a language barrier even if he speaks the language fluently

2020-01-25 06:26

well, it makes sense, thank you for good explanation, man,

2020-01-25 08:11

2020-01-25 19:52

If you watched his recent interviews, you’d understand that he really has some problems explaining his thoughts in Russian. I think that in crucial moments during games it was really hard for him to give proper information fast.

2020-01-24 12:58

how can life long speaking russian have difficulty speaking russian?

2020-01-24 16:07

1/8

2020-01-24 18:25

He started speaking Russian during his time with virtus.pro as he explained in his reflections with Thorin. Learning a language in 2013/14 and then also not speaking it for almost 2 years in the interim is not a lifetime

2020-01-25 06:32

well, that might be true, I missed his recent interviews.

2020-01-24 16:28

He said on stream that he should not accept the NaVi offer so fast that he needed break... Now he is not gonna join team until next Major...

Well he will get the break he wanted at least

2020-01-24 11:30

+1, undeserved and unexpected. Should've benched s1mple.

2020-01-24 11:17

yes bench s1mple #1 in 2018 #2 in 2019 n1

2020-01-24 11:51

are u idiot?

2020-01-24 11:52

u are

2020-01-24 16:08

nah I disagree

I think someone got baited lol

2020-01-26 14:42

and i think you should shut the fuck up because no one cares

2020-01-26 18:45

...I mean, it seems an awful lot like you care considering how upset you are, so...

2020-01-27 14:07

RIP Guardian

Sad shit man I feel bad for him

2020-01-24 11:25

lmao

2020-01-24 11:09

Wait for the syman matchfixing case to spill out, perfecto will be rekt

2020-01-24 12:36

I must've missed it....which match was this men??

2020-01-25 08:46

Check @overdrive twitter. It’s kinda DeKay from Russia. There are some screenshots of syman discussing the price for throwing a match. Just like the IBP one, it started only with screenshots

2020-01-25 20:13

Thanks man...did see him post a screenshot...wonder if any of the esports journalists are looking into this

nice

haha most retarded move ever...gl winning an event this year xD

BIG FAN TALKING SHIT? WHAT A SURPRISE

its not talking shit...i like navi aswell but you cant tell me that this move is good by all the players they could have picked

Name me some players they could have picked instead

forze didnt wanted to sell players, fair enough anybody from spirit would have been a better choice especially sdy in my opinion or if they wanted a decent awper they could have gone for speed4k but yeah we will see how they will do...it just feels like they went for a cheap player to save money xD

2020-01-24 11:42

S1mple had beef with sdy

they are not fucking kids who play cs together...its work for them so it should be possible to put beef aside if you are an professional

2020-01-24 11:55

if it was all for professionalism the line up with edward and zeus would be still working, but nope. thats why astralis still kicking asses

2020-01-24 12:44

+1 Actual logic

2020-01-24 13:32

Hold on a minute, are you telling me you expect s1mple to act like a professional? Like...really? I mean he's an insanely good player, sure, Top 1 and Top 2, but he gets way too cocky (see: s1mple knife that let Liquid win from last year, that's gonna be forever infamous) and kinda toxic when things go wrong, especially on his own stream.

2020-01-26 14:49

IMAGINING ADDING SPEED4K WHO GOT BENCHED FROM A TIER 100 TEAM AND CANT EVEN MANAGE A 1.00 RATING AS AN AWPER OMEGALUL

what ever bro...company does everything to please simple that aint gonna bring them anywhere...he cant carry that hard

RIP navi Perfecto to be banned for throwing soon, so all is good

till to major he will not be kicked

Oh yes, and when he won't be banned will u eat ur socks?

2020-01-24 14:29

Leaks ruin all the roster moves

Omg

tier 100 ez

they wanted to surprise all and fucked up like game of thrones did with the last season :D

Navi PERFECT! PERFECT!

Tier 3.

interesting-i want to see him in action

RIP GuardiaN :(

Fuck it.

s2mple make navi tier3 team XD gg russki

How do you idiots manage to blame s2mple for EVERYTHING? GuardiaN was clearly a bad pick and na’vi couldn't get anyone better than this perfecto guy. S2mple is in no way to blame.

S1mple the only one who ruins navi Navi was always bout team spirit, now its a bunch of stupid aimers. With the most stupid one oleksandro s1mplera "i can repeek everitime cuz im so good"

I partly agree with you here. Don't know about others, but I'm already tired of toxic shitter who screams on his teammates every match instead of working on their mistakes as a team and becoming better with every tournament.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think too. But the thing is they'll never drop s1mple because he's been top 1 and top 2 so he'll just keep screaming at his teammates when they 'fuck up' and be so cocky he'll think he can do bullshit like the s1mple knife, so they'll just keep coming in 3rd-4th or worse every time. Man, I'm glad he's not anywhere near Liquid anymore, and I'm honestly worried for Boombl4. I wonder how he's holding up and if he's actually getting to call shots as IGL or if it's the s1mple show as always.

2020-01-26 14:57

ne nesi huynu

2020-01-24 11:58

2020-01-24 12:02

no pro repick on prav..

2020-01-24 12:46

Wow

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO such a bad change

Perfecto is talented, don't underrate! one of the best shooters of CIS, more likely he will have KD good; maybe he needs a bit time for tier 1

2020-01-24 11:15

So fucking talented Playing on tier 3 syman and having 1.04 rating vs some braindead teams

Yes,but with shit teammates and shit IGL, etc etc.

Yeah I don't even think that he was the best of syman

cmon will see after one event, one should be enough for adopting

We wont see to much.Come on how some t3 player with 0 succes can instantly turn to pro t1 player? 0 experience this guy

2020-01-24 12:16

he has already experience of the lan tournament, will surround with t1 players, and will gain from them and turn to that required T1 missing player for navi, good luck for him.

2020-01-24 12:33

GuardiaN bye bye ):

tier 3 incoming

LMAO

Finally Navi got rid of all bots in their roster

And added more bots

2020-01-24 15:32

ooo guardian, bye bye.

LULVi

I wonder if Navi CEO is some guy with mental problems.If u wanted pick up shit player,u could get any fpl russian for FREE

smartest comment out there my friend. U are absolutely right. This is already worst transfer of the year. Navi gonna kick him in 2 monthes.

2020-01-24 12:25

i thnik he get benched after he will completely struggle vs real top teams like astralis or mouse

2020-01-24 12:47

yeah. and then they gonna pick random kid from navi junior cos they dont wanna spent money)

2020-01-24 12:55

Good move

Bru

matchfixer

Wanna see all those retards hating NaVi and Perfeto after this team wins Major

ahaha nice Kapp

"wins major" good one bro

2020-01-24 11:21

2020-01-24 11:35

From tier1 to tier3

2020-01-24 11:48

OmegleLul

hahaha sign matchfixer bot ahahaah

Perfecto was probably cheap as f, just a few pennies for Navi comparing to other potential pickups. Guardian should come out of the closet and tell us more about those toxic ukrainians.

Sad that GuardiaN will not come out of the closet and tell us why is he so trash. -20 -30 every game like wtf #MiGhT_Be_ToSiC_S1mPLe_wHo_cUrSeD_pOoR_GuArDiBOT!!!

Perfecto 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Rip Guardian. Sad to see him get called "Botian" when he played like an absolute god for almost his entire career. He was the reason I got into cs, watching some highlights on YouTube until I tuned into a match on stream and watching him play Dust2 was the coolest thing ever. He'd hit an AWP shot as the guy was crossing on old Dust2 and I would think to myself "I wanna do that!" And I just had to buy the game

GuardiBOT became a BOT at the end of his career in Na`Vi (when he was in Na`Vi 1st time).

but Guardian has just come back to NaVi, what happened?

He is just garbage player and weak person.

2020-01-24 11:37

He asked about guardian, not you

I'm GuardiDOG's new owner. Relax...

You are trying so hard to be funny, and still its horrible

2020-01-24 16:02

Where did you saw me trying hard to be funny?

2020-01-24 18:53

2020-01-24 17:40

Wasn't able to play and support consistently plus his awping has became worse that's why he got benched

2020-01-24 13:31

God B1ad3

rip navi

Should've gone with erkaSt :-) Congrats Perfecto!

1. <Team is struggling with bad results> 2. <Need roster changes> 3. <Risky replacment a player with bad stats> (you are currently here) 4. <Need time to build team's chemistry> 5. <Showing bad results again> 6. <Repeat from #1>

nice one

2020-01-24 16:15

Fuck Na'Vi, most braindead org, 2IQ shitheads

2020-01-25 09:36

I was waiting shiro. Good luck for team chemistry

2020-01-24 11:22

So many talented players in CIS region and they choose Perfecto OMEGALUL

2020-01-24 11:23

+1 like wtf

Virtus.Pro agrees with this change

When will they realize the problem is not the guy with worst stats? 0iq navi. How come other top teams have better teams with worse players? Explain navi ceo pls

2020-01-24 11:24

Either way s1mple with the awp is way better than Guardian, and Perfecto with a rifle > Guardian with a rifle. Simple as that

2020-01-24 11:27

you will see that navi will be even worse now. not even top 10 team.

El stupido shaggy

fan of device fan of s1mple 0iq no wonder palestina has biggee iq than israel and no wonder jews got deleted that much in ww2, weak nation from the beggining

2020-01-24 11:39

Why would you be talking about ww2 like that with that flag

2020-01-24 11:45

czech republic was winning the war with nazis and then won it with the USSR and USA. were basically the two timers

2020-01-24 12:11

Or you were sitting on nazi’s dick and then switched to other just to not die. Two timers. Lol

2020-01-24 13:33

Interesting way to spell nazi invasion and slaughter

2020-01-24 13:51

I will bookmark this, we will see. I have a much more optimistic outlook of Perfecto, also considering he is still very young

2020-01-24 11:43

expected from delusional blind guardian fan. he is straight ass how can't you realize?

Listen he got benched because of his inconsistent awping, I watch some of the streams he played and half the time he would miss crucial kills which gave the opponents opportunities to take a site or win the round. I had hoped he would step up but I feel like this might be the better solution

Let's GOOOOO!!FINALLY after commenting #kickguardian under every single navi post on ig

EZ MAJOR BRAZIL

interesting pickup. will see how it works

2020-01-24 11:28

OH GUARDIAN BYE BYE!

That's a yikes

NaVi be like: 2019 No players to pick up for team .... GuardiaN !!! Few tournaments later: OH GUARDIAN BYE BYE

"One of the reasons is the language barrier, which was especially noticeable in the game against tier-1 teams, where quality and speed of communication is of great importance" so it wasnt problem in VP, it wasnt problem in navi before but suddenly its a problem? interesting

From Godlike and the most dominant team in history to top2 team, then to tier2 and now to tier3. Congratz to all Na`Vi players and management. You guys are awesome <3

Yeah judge before even single game is played XD

Have you seen previous 5 years?

Seen what?

Na`Vi

Yes they have had their up downs? Your point?

2020-01-24 11:44

My point is their "down" is a bit too long in terms of period of time. I started thinking that their "UP" button is broken smh.(?) What do you think?

geroyam slava!

2020-01-24 12:18

Have you seen the competition previous 5 years?

I'm watching CS since early 2000s. Do you wanna say me something?

That you have been watching CS with your monitor turned off.

Do I need to repeat my question once again? Explain what you mean.

"Do you wanna say me something?" #160 I already answered to that.

2020-01-24 11:53

Check the last part of #163

Competition has gotten a lot more better than it was when NaVi was godlike, so decline in rankings doesn't necessarily mean that NaVi has gotten a lot worse or have been worse, it means that teams like Liquid, Vitality, Mouz, EG etc. etc. have showed up that actually are competitive, not 3 - 4 teams at a specific time frame that were the top teams and the rest of the CS scene was garbage.

I have a good answer on your weird argument "competition became better". If you don't work on yourself and you don't progress everyday, then you will not stay on the same level, you will fall everyday. I thought Na`Vi (especially players) knew that simple and axiomatic concept.

2020-01-24 12:00

But can you really say that they haven't worked on themselves? S1mple, elec and flamie all have gotten better as years go by, boom and perfecto are more recent additions so it's hard to say anything about them.

2020-01-24 12:01

Results say more than just words ("we worked hard"). 2018 Na`Vi top2 after Astralis under Zeus. 2019 Na`Vi top8 without Zeus.

2020-01-24 12:03

TOP 20's also say a lot.

Teams' top says more than top20. It's not about who is better aimer or something. Counter-strike requires more than just killing enemies. You have to work as a team with great strategy / tactics / flashes / teamplay and many other aspects. Top20 cannot count these facts, it counts Individually better players.

"If you don't work on yourself and you don't progress everyday, then you will not stay on the same level, you will fall everyday." I was answering to this, as clearly they work on themselves.

2020-01-24 12:06

It seems like they didn't work enough if their team results are that poor, isn't it? If you have 2 players (1 is top2 and 2 is top6) and you still not even in top5 of teams, then I have some questions.

2020-01-24 12:07

Competition became better.

2020-01-24 12:08

Good excuse. When you have top1-2 player, top3-6 player and still cannot win something (with a few exceptions). It is all just because "competition became better" and we didn't adapt properly, right? :)

More like "Competition became better and it is harder to adapt"

2020-01-24 12:10

Excuses is your everything, right? :> Why Astralis and Liquid have adapted?

Clearly last year even Astralis and Liquid lost multiple questionable games against questionable teams.

They are still top3 teams, unlike Na`Vi who is becoming worse and worse with every year.

2020-01-24 12:12

2020-01-24 12:28

This response was really funny. I agree with you everyone is so much better than they were years ago.

2020-01-24 19:59

Navi top20

Hope the best for Na'Vi, interested to see how Perfecto plays with 'em

2020-01-24 11:40

NAVI'll be top 20 after this

Nice, s1mple back to awping is big plus, perfecto is very good player Also wish guardian the best

Navi would see a perfect top 24

welcome in TOP30

GuardiaN BYE BYE

Strange move , but good luck anyway!

NaVi are being nip rn, kicking one guy with worst stats just to get one that barely better and then suck even more as a team

agree

WH OMEGALUL ?

Should have been a straight swap + cash with VP for Jane!

Jane is hot?

haha Jame* autocorrect -.-

Sad news for SVK e-sport. Age impressed players who have entered the history of SCGO SVK and CZ scene SVK Guardian CZ Oskar

Language barrier?????? Did he forget Russian entirely while in Faze?

goldfish

Blade so pathetic..

He is just being nice trying to save some face for GuardiaN, 200 EQ. We all know the real reason is Guardian is a washed up trash AWPer

2020-01-24 23:43

Let's give him chance!!

👍👌 nice

no doubt change is very good. but is it good enough for navi to come back to tier1?

should've been YEKINDAR

Lol good luck imagine this move from Syman to NAVI omg...

2020-01-24 12:04

great move, now s1mple will be able to unleash his full potential as an awper

He unleashed his potential as a rifler also and took top2 which was Godlike result considering Na`Vi's problems in 2019. GuardiBOT ruined everything for them.

he was rifling for just a couple of months and earned his top 2 spot awping you doofus

Yeah that was exactly my point, doofus. He should keep rifling and they might add top AWPer.

nah

100% he should be rifler/2nd awper He is sick rifler, good awp yea, but way more impact with rifles imo

2020-01-24 12:20

+1 exactly He was top1 of 2018 with an AWP yes, but I still think he has even better potential and freedom as a Rifler.

2020-01-24 12:21

Isnt flamie oldest? He is aries and s1mple libra

flamie just slave of s1mple forever.

Flamie profits from being in navi as the blame is always on someone else. Sometimes ofc he also gets blamed but s1mple, guardian, edward, zeus always got the most hate

2020-01-24 13:05

He should be grateful

Back s1mple awp style xD

where seized

hltv.org/news/28879/seized-jr-form-es4x

Oh, Guardian bye bye.

Finally!

nobody could have seen this coming! what a surprise: coughs in sarcasm.

guardian top 100000000000000000 lol from top 20 to top 10000000000 nice go back to faze again

What The fuck is even this bait?

2020-01-24 16:05

who and why?

200k for shit

100 at max !

Inb4: Article title... "Perfecto joined Navi yesterday." (facepalm)

OMG THIS NAVI IS LOOKING ABSOLUTELY INSANE OMG THEY WILL DESTROY ALL!!!!!!!!!!

i dont think they know that somedieyoung exits

NAVI New mibr wtf F guardian

unexpected

2020-01-24 12:23

Zywoo top2 2020

confirmed

2020-01-25 00:14

i don't sure about that but Guardian is the problem i think

He is. He is not playing like in 2015 Awper is a key player for the team

2020-01-24 12:40

even the Guardian of 2018 was better than now. anyway, i hope what Navi gets lucky this year :)

2020-01-24 12:45

Yea me too

Thats cool

2020-01-24 12:27

scoped rifle killed guardian

no? he is just missing 8/10 easy shots XD

2020-01-24 12:48

Nice purchase. Good luck to him

Who?

2020-01-24 12:32

Na'Vi without an old man are nothing

2020-01-24 12:34

will somebody please save s1mple?

2020-01-24 12:35

Sad about flamie, he needs play with that trash

Taking away bad, old players who once were good is a necessary change in any team. Keep up with the changes or be forgotten

Very good!

2020-01-24 12:43

so from this moment s1mple chance to winning are major getting less and less :D

2020-01-24 12:49

somedieyoung??? sh1ro???? what the fuck you are picking???? good luck with this bot...

2020-01-24 12:50

next up is -flamie cuz he never does shit

this cant be profitable

Navi wins by kicking all old players seems legit

s1mple is wasting his career , he should join faze. Otherwise fallen should join faze to become igl-awper of the team.

2020-01-24 13:00

total 0 experience on lans vs normal teams will take like 3 years to become pro player

2020-01-24 13:02

Would he be better than GuardiaN though? I have my doubts.

2020-01-24 13:14

2020-01-24 13:17

fatty zywhoo was lucky last year navi were in slump and s1mple was switching roles 2020 here we go :)

2020-01-24 13:15

s1mple one of the best AWP

2020-01-24 13:18

rip

unexpected (o_O) guardian could assemble a sk/cz team now

Perfecto fits the team perfectly Expected

2020-01-24 13:20

Funny move XD

simple back to main awp?

2020-01-24 13:25

Imagine s1mple playing such a shit team, on fpl his stuck with loba looking more better, Sasha u wasting your career in this noob team

Navi don’t spend money. Sad for such a huge org.

s1mple back on awp YES YES

S1mple noob has to be on awp cause hes crying about not stat padding

2020-01-24 13:39

I hope S1mple knows that he has to play the awp the next 4-5 years.

Ukraine Navi - top1-2 team in the World Russian Navi - tier2-3 team omegalul S1mple ruuun!!!

2020-01-24 13:46

Problem is there are no more good ukrainians exept s1mple and sdy

2020-01-24 13:48

Scooby, Aiyvan, Rage, ANGE1, bondik, JR.

2020-01-24 14:09

The list u brang up are all shit men. Scooby lol. I rekt him on faceit

pshycho,sergiz,b1t,kapacho,topa

2020-01-24 19:37

he is not perfect zywoo is perfecto

2020-01-24 13:43

Sdy >>> Perfecto Now

2020-01-24 13:45

sdy=perfecto

2020-01-24 14:42

Sad for GuardiaN, but its a good change for NaVi.

2020-01-24 13:47

Good luck for new squad.

2020-01-24 13:49

ou mama, necesary change

Oh Guardian bye bye

Gl hf now

Wow, so now its finally official GL and Welcome! :) Big F for guardian, hope he s not done and would strike back after pause

2020-01-24 14:11

time to create a new team Zeus Edward GuardiaN + +

Seized Starix And ask North if they allow to use their wheelchair logo lmao

+ceh9

2020-01-24 14:43

No-no, if you bring in ceh9 then markeloff instead of Guardian. And we all trying to fing a job for Ladislav here.

2020-01-24 14:49

any mm silver > decoy

2020-01-24 14:59

So, it was unexpected. I think that it will be sdy or Gospadarov GL HF in future, GOATdiaN. You play badly now, and most likely leaving Na'Vi is the end for your career. But for me you will forever remain the best sniper in the history of CS:GO. <3

2020-01-24 14:17

youtu.be/qLVIgyrRk28?t=19

2020-01-24 14:27

big F for Guardian, GL perfecto

2020-01-24 14:31

Lmao blad3 acting like guardian didn't play at the highest level in a Russian speaking team for more than 4 years xD xD

2020-01-24 14:35

its really sad tbh, guardian deserved to win atleast 1 major, obviously not with 2019 performance but 2013-2018 mode

2020-01-24 14:36

where were you when guardians career was finally kill i was sat at home watching DH leipzig when suddenly mr. hltv rang "guardian career kill" "no"

2020-01-24 14:41

CIS liquid is here guys

This will either work out for Na'Vi and they will become a solid top5 team, or it will be a total train wreck and they will not even be in the top10 let alone win tournaments. Feels like no middle ground.

Solid top 20 I would say

2020-01-24 16:09

Wouldn't be suprised at all. There's so much talent in the CIS scene and they pick up a mediocre tier2/tier3 player. Seems like Na'Vi CEO doesn't want to spend a pretty penny.

Rip navi S1MPLE back To baiting

2020-01-24 14:53

what the actual fuck?

2020-01-24 14:54

really sad to see this

2020-01-24 14:56

wait GuardiaN doesn't know russki?

2020-01-24 14:57

He does, but after playing for FaZe for such a long time, he needed to learn words again.

2020-01-24 15:00

NaVi number one team incoming

GUARDIAN: "THE PAST YEAR WAS JUST A WASTE OF TIME" This sentence is not old.

2020-01-24 15:17

bad

2020-01-24 15:23

they should've took mir

2020-01-24 15:27

sdy *

2020-01-24 15:47

XDDDDDDDDDDDD

How many lans did Guardian play with Na'vi? Like 2?

2020-01-24 15:54

4 to 5

2020-01-24 16:30

Rip navi

GL navi. Hoping s1mple show his best performance this year. And bring navi to be a consistent top 5 team. #BornToWin

could work

2020-01-24 16:20

I wonder if AyadaN would ve worked from hr

2020-01-24 16:23

Awful move...

2020-01-24 16:32

yesss finally bot guardian is out of navi

2020-01-24 16:33

Why didnt you just pick up ceh9 instead?? Pretty much same impact

2020-01-24 16:37

GL Perfecto

so shit.. rusian in team=lose rusian flag=lose

2020-01-24 16:54

Navi = no future cause no one want to play with entitled brat S1mple. Navi need something like BlameF who can slap some sense into him.

2020-01-24 16:55

Perfecto is a great cs shooter. hope to see the roster improve.

2020-01-24 17:06

GL to new NAVI in the future!

2020-01-24 17:10

Good pick Goodluck

2020-01-24 17:21

sad to see that no one wants to join Navi

2020-01-24 17:34

the best Navi had zeus and edward, those werent stats monsters either. Let's see what this kid will bring to the team.

2020-01-24 17:43

What a lame reason from b1ade stating "language" barrier is the thing. Can any slovak/slav gentleman here confirm whether russian-slovak only have minor similarities with each other? What i usually heard, they both share same phrases quite a lot together, so that wouldn't be any problem. Might be more gentle to say the fact that GuardiaN's performance has significantly slip off during the year.

2020-01-24 17:50

Yes B1ad3 is a high EQ person trying to save GuardiaN some face, they also need to find a new buyer so better not to trash him too much

2020-01-24 23:45

+ B1ad3 is always professional publicly and doesn't involve himself in drama or controversy

2020-01-24 23:48

Niiiiice Maybe NAVI returning to top5 and starting winning tournaments again :)

2020-01-24 18:33

Very nice move! I’ve been saying this for 8 months either Somedieyoung, Perfecto, or Fl1t!

2020-01-24 18:40

they kick him after major, gl)

2020-01-24 19:35

wtf men)))))) why mens)))))))))

2020-01-26 00:17

YES YES YES YES AND AGAIN YES!!!!! #MakeNaviGreatAgain

2020-01-24 19:06

2020-01-24 19:07

s1mple he is simply the best

2020-01-24 19:08

Best when you are ranked #2 POGGERS

2020-01-24 23:44

I mean, until he plays an official match against tier 1 teams, I'm not gonna count perfecto out, although he was low on the totem pole to be chosen. 1. Flit 2. SDY 3. Mir 4. Perfecto But we'll see how it goes first. Simple back on the awp is something I look forward too tho so who knows

2020-01-24 22:22

It was SDY for sure, then Fl1t and then Fear/Perfecto. Mir finally achieved form joining Spirit again after Vega

2020-01-26 00:18

he doesn't need to be good, S1mple is back on the AWP. we're gunna get 2018 s1mple EZ and they proba won't win a tonne of tourneys but s1mple will probably frag out of his mind and the new guy will get some insane experience and probably evolve well

2020-01-24 23:56

Perfect!

rip guardian major

2020-01-25 01:24

New team 2020 Zeus Edward Guardian Young gun Young gun

2020-01-25 01:44

simple staying in rifling and adding sh1ro would've been a better pickup tbh

2020-01-25 03:35

Imagine if S1mple leaves Navi to join either Mousesports or Faze clan after another disappointing next Major result and Navi should take JAME so make it an all russian team.

2020-01-25 05:21

I have an unreasonable amount of hope for this

2020-01-25 06:57

Should have picked up YEKINDAR from pro100

2020-01-25 06:58

Now natus vincere is perfecto👌

2020-01-25 07:12

All the OG navi players are pretty much gone all that stands are s1mple and flamie. Also dont be a silver or gold nova bot and say Guardian got replaced by tier 3 trash. Electronic was in a tier 3 team and went to navi look at him now.

2020-01-25 07:31

2020-01-25 08:03

Jame shouldve been added in NaVi as AWPer and let s1mple assault . major confirmed

2020-01-25 10:06

Shit, but do much better than guardian

2020-01-25 10:37

Poor Guardian, from legend to this in such a short time :( Retiring next I suppose? At this point T3 teams might be interested for the name only.

2020-01-25 11:34

yeah name is good for team now team is PERFECTO to disband

2020-01-25 16:11
