Natus Vincere's star Alexander s1mple Kostylev spoke in favor of keeping Viktor sdy Orujev in the lineup. However, at the same time, he admitted that his future depends on the success of Andrey npl Kuharsky as the sixth player.

At the last BLAST, there were some emotions towards sdy. We need to keep him. He can play better. On camera, it looks like I hate this guy and want to remove him, but that's not true.
I used to believe that he would stay. But now it depends on how npl will perform.

Kostylev also noted that the players are not 100% sure about the composition for the next season and that the organization will make the decision. And the verdict will largely depend on the outcome of the BLAST Premier World Final 2022, which starts on the morning of December 14.

Alexander's words, by the way, testify in favor that his scream at sdy at the last BLAST was only a concession to emotions rather than sincere dislike and doubts about sdy's professional qualities.

How Much Time Does NAVI Have for Reflection?

Most likely, the club will decide on the starting five before the start of RMR on April 3. After that, NAVI can continue experiments, including IEM Katowice 2023. At EPL Season 17, the "yellow and black" will play in the same lineup as at RMR because the roster lock, according to Valve's rules, will take place ten days before the start of the major qualifiers.
