S1mple confirms electroNic is the new IGL for NAVI

Denis “electroNic” Sharipov has officially become the new captain of Natus Vincere, the CS:GO team’s best player Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev said today during a press conference at BLAST Premier Spring Final in Lisbon, Portugal.

The organization’s COO Alexey “xaoc” Kucherov had already told Dexerto on May 31 that moving electroNic to in-game leader was a strong possibility, and now, that move has been officialized, at least for the time being. NAVI parted ways with its former captain Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov on May 28 following the conclusion of the PGL Antwerp Major due to “high reputational risks.” The decision was not made based on game-related aspects.
