NAVI parts ways with jL after three years

NAVI announced today that Justinas “jL” Lekavicius has left the organization. The team shared the news via Twitter and their official website, concluding a three-year partnership that brought the roster significant success in the early days of Counter-Strike 2.

Trophies and a Major MVP title

Joining the roster in late June 2023, NAVI became the first tier-one team for the Lithuanian player. During his tenure, the team secured several high-profile tournament victories. The defining moment came in March 2024, when NAVI won the first CS2 Major in history at PGL Major Copenhagen. The Lithuanian player was awarded the MVP medal for his performance at the event. The roster also claimed the trophy at the Esports World Cup later that same year.

In their official statement, NAVI highlighted his charisma and off-server impact, thanking the player they dubbed “jLegend” for his contributions over the past three years.

Future destination remains unconfirmed

The next step for the Lithuanian rifler has not been announced. During April and May of 2026, jL acted as a stand-in for MOUZ, where he delivered a strong impact on the server. While there are questions regarding a permanent move to MOUZ, neither the player nor the organization has confirmed this as his next destination.
