After a somewhat mediocre performance by Natus Vincere at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they finished 9-11th, rumors about potential roster changes started circulating online.
First, streamer and commentator Alexey Pch3lk1n Pchelkin hinted at possible replacements within the "Born to Win" ranks.

Then, G2 sniper Ilya m0NESY Osipov, who was streaming alongside former NAVI Junior captain Rodion fear Smyk, chimed in.
It seems like you should be the captain in NAVI. Don't you want to? I think you did well, and then... Well, let's leave it for the future.Ilya m0NESY Osipov
As we can see, neither of them provided any specific information about potential changes in NAVI. Therefore, we can only speculate about who might be benched or removed from the roster.
- s1mple? Having won both the major and the Intel Grand Slam under NAVI's banner in 2021, his individual performance at the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 was not the best. It's possible that the Ukrainian player may have become burnt out and decided to take an extended break until the release of CS2 or even explore opportunities with another prestigious club.
- electroNic? The club's management may have been dissatisfied with Sharipov's captaincy abilities and turned their attention to fear.
- npl? The personal performance of the NAVI Junior product may not meet the club's ambitions, which could lead to his exclusion from the lineup.
- b1t and Perfecto? It's unlikely that these two would be removed from the roster. The former may just need less passive positions on maps, while the latter has been performing consistently.
However, until the upcoming tournament featuring Natus Vincere, namely the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, which is only two weeks away, we will have to wait and see if any official announcements are made. Only time will tell.
