NAVI newcomer Justinas "jL" Lekavicius told us after the game with Apeks that he had a special feeling about this match. In addition to the fact that this is his former team, he also wanted to dedicate the victory to his former coach Jakub "kuben" Gurczyński, who recently left Apeks. You can read more about this situation in this article.

"It was a personal game for me. Not only played for NAVI, but, also, played for my ex-coach kuben. And I really wanted to get a win for him."

jL and kuben have been working together for more than two years, since the days of Mad Lions, where the coach invited the then little-known Lithuanian. After the Spanish organization left CS:GO, the pair continued to play under the ex-Mad Lions tag until they were signed by Apeks. With the new team, they reached the semifinals of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.
