Natus Vincere can abandon Ilya Perfecto Zalutskyi and Denys electroNic Sharypov after the expiration of their contracts and sign Ukrainians instead.

Esports journalist Richard Lewis reported about such intentions of the club.

Rumours were that the Russians would be removed from NAVI when their contracts ended. I don't think they [Electronic and Perfecto] have already moved, although everyone said they would move from Russia to Serbia. I don't know if it happened, and I don't know where they are now and what's going on.

The Brit suggested that the transfer of players was just fiction for the sake of a beautiful statement and that the club was not ready to give up Ilya and Denis at that moment.

He also said that if NAVI wants to assemble a mono-national roster and Viktor sdy Orujev would be suitable. Still, the management wants to see someone with a better personal form instead of him.

Behind the scenes, I was told that they [NAVI] wanted a completely Ukrainian team if the opportunity presented. So what changes could they make in the composition? After all, obviously, sdy would at least suit them in that case if they didn't want to get rid of him.

An Ambitious But Achievable Task?

Lewis considers the decision about a potential electroNic and Perfecto kick madness. On the one hand, you can agree with this because NAVI won their first Major with them. But, on the other hand, is this duo really irreplaceable? Fear, a former pupil of NAVI Junior, could become the new IGL. Npl will already be tested on separate maps at the nearest BLAST. And if the club is no longer interested in sdy, and other students of NAVI Junior still need to be more experienced, then you can look at Ukrainian players from B8 or IKLA.

If the rumours about NAVI's intentions to radically change the composition are true, then it will be fascinating to watch how everything will work, as it was when headtr1ck replaced s1mple. You can be sure that the vision of B1ad3 and his scouting experience will never leave the Ukrainian club empty-handed.
