NAVI sniper Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev has commented on the emerging information regarding the alleged departure of CS:GO team coach Andrey b1ad3 Gorodensky to another position within the organization.

The esports player expressed doubt about the intellectual abilities of those who believe that NAVI would kick b1ad3, calling the coach one of the smartest people he has ever encountered.

Anyone who has already made replacements has made a mistake. How stupid does a person have to be to claim that NAVI is kicking b1ad3 or that b1ad3 himself is leaving NAVI? It's unbelievably foolish. You would only talk about it if you know nothing about this game. Bro, b1ad3 is one of the smartest people I've met in my life. He can only leave NAVI by his own choice. But anyone spreading such rumors is just dumb. I've seen these rumors, but I just don't understand how someone can be so stupid to say such things.

Recall that some sources claimed that Amiran "ami" Rekhviashvili, who is currently the head of NAVI's esports department and was previously the coach of NAVI Junior, could replace b1ad3 as the team's coach.

It is worth noting that with b1ad3's arrival in his current position, NAVI's CS:GO roster gradually emerged from a crisis and started winning tournaments again after a series of failures with GuardiaN. Ultimately, this led to the organization's most successful year in 2021. Even despite the questionable experiment with electronic as the captain and the signing of npl, excluding Gorodensky, who is the team's brain, would be a big mistake.
