S1mple wants NAVI to settle CS:GO roster for 2023 after addition of sixth player

Natus Vincere has made a change to its CS:GO roster following the squad’s quarterfinals run at the IEM Rio Major earlier this month. The organization has promoted Andrii “⁠nipl⁠” Kukharskyi from the academy squad to a backup position on the first team.

The move comes ahead of the BLAST Premier Fall Final, a tournament that allows teams to make substitutions in the middle of a best-of-three series, and amid rumors that NAVI’s long-term stand-in Viktor “⁠sdy⁠” Orudzhev is on his way out of the team before the end of the year or at the start of 2023.
