s1mple: "We are still deciding who will play for NAVI at IEM Cologne 2022"

s1mple, who is a sniper and the main star of NaVi, in an interview before the start of BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022, talked about the future of the team with a new captain, and also shed light on the details of the negotiations between buster and the organization.

We have kept the old strategies. We have changed only some roles. I think electroNic has more ideas than Boombl4 and his understanding of the game without the help of B1ad3 is much better. At the same time, Boombl4 worked with B1ad3 so much and he taught him things that electroNic can't do now. So Denis needs a little more time.

I'm sure the crowd will cheer for NAVI and we'll try to win if we get there

In addition, the 24-year-old Ukrainian esportsman commented on the possible transfer of buster to NAVI, emphasizing that the organization would not be able to buy the player from Virtus.pro.

I have never played with buster. Perfecto knows him best. The main problem is that NAVI cannot buy a player from a Russian organization because Virtus.pro pays taxes, and we know what it means to pay taxes. Initially, we just asked buster if he could buy out his contract. We are still deciding who will play for NAVI at IEM Cologne 2022.

BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2022 will take place from June 15 to 19 in Lisbon at the Altice Arena. As part of the championship, the eight best teams of the spring season from Europe and North America will compete for a prize pool of $425,000, rating points for the BLAST Premier table, and a ticket to BLAST Premier: World Final 2022.

Recall that NAVI announced the signing of a short-term contract with sdy, who will act as an understudy at the upcoming championship. In addition, in case of a successful performance of the team in the tournament, the Ukrainian will remain in the squad for subsequent events.
