Justinas "jL" Lekavicius, the Lithuanian rifler for Natus Vincere , has expressed the team's ambitions for a significant impact at the upcoming PGL Major Copenhagen, despite uncertainties surrounding the team's lineup. Following their qualification for the Legends Stage with a 3-1 record in the Europe RMR, NAVI has been the subject of speculation, particularly regarding Valeriy "b1t" Vakhovskiy's future and the potential reintegration of Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev. However, jL confirmed the team plans to continue with the current five-man lineup.
Reflecting on the team's performance and his journey, jL shared his emotions and expectations:
It feels fucking amazing. We played super well on Nuke, kept our composure, and there are a lot of great emotions right now.
His leadership and motivational speech played a crucial role in their victory against BetBoom, emphasizing the importance of self-belief and accountability within the team.
We may not win the Major, but we want to make a deep run,
jL stated, underlining the team's determination to showcase their capability on one of esports' biggest stages. He also highlighted the need for continuous improvement and adaptation, with plans for an intensive bootcamp to refine their strategies and map pool ahead of the Major.
Addressing the rumors about potential roster changes, jL humorously dismissed concerns about being replaced by "the CS:GO goat" s1mple, reaffirming the team's commitment to their current lineup:
We're staying as a five-man core, and we're playing like that.
As NAVI prepares for the Major, the blend of jL's optimism and the team's resolve to overcome recent challenges sets a compelling narrative for their campaign in Copenhagen. With the esports community eagerly watching, NAVI aims to silence the rumors and let their performance speak for itself.
