Natus Vincere's CS2 sniper, Aleksandr 's1mple' Kostylyev, might miss another team tournament. The Ukrainian esports player shared this information during a personal broadcast on Twitch, without giving any details.

"I don't know if I'll be at the next tournament [playing]," s1mple said. Kostylyev had previously missed IEM Sydney 2023. In his place, team coach Andrey 'B1ad3' Gorodensky played, and as a result, NAVI finished in 9th-12th place. Rumor has it that s1mple's absence from IEM Sydney 2023 was due to awaiting residency in Europe. Flying to Sydney to participate in the championship could have caused difficulties returning to Europe.
