After NAVI´s arrival in Copenhagen to play in Fall Final, many rumors stated that Andrii “nipl” Kukharskyi, a young NAVI Junior player, will play with the team doing the BLAST Premier World Final. Rumors that Natus Vincere´s coach Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi confirmed in an interview with HLTV, where he stated, that nipl will play some maps doing the Worlds Finals on December 14-18th
After each Major you can give a chance and experience to an academy player, you can watch how he plays and experiment. – B1AD3 explained.
NAVI has utilized a six-man roster before. Back when flamie was on the active roster and b1t was the upcoming star from their academy team. NAVI used the opportunity to let b1t play some maps, with flamie still being the man active in their roster.
Natus Vincere has been a top team in the world for the last two or three years even though there have been a couple of chances within the roster, but recently the team stumbled as they went out in the quarter-finals doing the IEM Rio Major facing FURIA.
We will make all decisions after Abu Dhabi, we are still thinking about what will be. We are also giving more chances to sdy, but we will also use nipl for Abu Dhabi, we want to split the maps. I actually like the idea of it.
How the roster will look going into 2023 is yet to be decided.
NAVI will play their first game in BLAST Fall Finals against the Brazilian team Fluxo later today.
