jL on not rejoining NAVI: “[Not] unless some crucial things change”

jL spoke about his perspective on NAVI's struggles.

jL spoke about his perspective on NAVI’s struggles.

When I watch their games, they are a little bit too static […] they’re too afraid to commit a mistake.

Justinas ‘jL’ Lekavicius spoke about his perspective on NAVI on the analyst desk of BLAST Porto.

They are trying to play too perfect CS, I feel like they need to go back to the basics and start to enjoy the game a little bit more.

NAVI had its greatest success with jL in their ranks in 2024, winning the PGL Major Copenhagen where he was the HLTV MVP. However, he said he is not looking to rejoin NAVI.

I didn’t leave to come back [to NAVI] […]. Unless some crucial things change, no.

I'm an aspiring journalist in the world of esports. I first got into MOBAs watching SMITE in 2015, and got hooked on CS from the MLG Columbus Major.

My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they're relevant.

Besides that, I have a bachelor's in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
