Na’Vi removes Boombl4 from CS:GO roster due to ‘high reputational risks’

Natus Vincere has moved long-time CS:GO in-game leader Kirill “BoombI4” Mikhailov to the inactive roster effective immediately, per an announcement from the organization today.

In its announcement, the organization said the decision was not made because of recent results or because of his own in-game performance, but due to “high reputational risks for the club.” In recent weeks, Boombl4 came under fire for social media posts made by his wife that seemed to show support for Russia during the invasion of Ukraine.
