Today, Natus Vincere updated their website, including the “Hall of Fame” section, from which former team player Ioann Edward Sukharev was removed.
The following legendary players from different disciplines are currently in the Hall of Fame:
We remind you that earlier, the Ukrainian organization removed Sergey starix Ishchuk because at the time on February 24, when the Russian Federation launched a full-scale war against Ukraine, Sergey was in Moscow. The player is still in the Russian Federation's territory and has not spoken out against the war. Let us remind you that starix has a Ukrainian origin and a Ukrainian passport.
Why was Edward removed?
So far, the organization has not made any public explanations, and the reason is unknown. After all, Edward is the complete opposite of starix. Ivan condemned the war and is still in Ukraine.
