Viktor sdy Orudjev will not play for NAVI next season. He was rented from MAD Lions since June. Still, the victory at BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 alone was not enough to convince the management to buy Victor and sign him into a full contract.

NAVI announced that Andrii npl Kuharskii will be a full-fledged fifth player at IEM Katowice 2023 and "other events in January." Other possible decisions about substitutions will be made after these tournaments end.

Challenges For Npl

While Andrii's classmates will be resting during the winter holidays, he will have weeks of training with the roster to start playing Mirage, Inferno, and other maps. His performance at the BLAST Premier World Finals as the sixth player was not particularly memorable, but just at IEM Katowice 2023, he will have a chance to prove to everyone that he is worthy of playing in the main lineup. Also, the Ukrainian fan base will expect from Andrii a firm and clearly voiced position on the war in Ukraine, which sdy had.

Suppose npl does not live up to expectations and does not show the desired performance. In that case, NAVI will likely look for suitable players in other clubs or among free agents due to the young age and inexperience of other NAVI Junior players.
