B1T in the lineup for NAVI at the first RMR tournament
NAVI have decided to play with Valeriy “B1T” Vakhovskiy instead of Egor “flamie” Vasilev at the first RMR tournament and DreamHack Masters Spring 2021.
As teams currently are moving away from the six-man roster approach in order to conform to Valve’s new ruleset, NAVI have announced that their young talented player, B1T will play at the first Regional Major Ranking event of the year instead of their long-time member, flamie.
The 24-year-old, flamie will also miss the team’s next event, DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 to give the team enough time to prepare every map before the start of RMR. “This will give the team enough time to prepare every map before the start of the RMR tournament,” NAVI said in their announcement.
It’s still unknown whether NAVI plan to return to a six-man lineup after the RMR event that remains to be seen.
NAVI’s lineup for the next two tournaments looks as follows:
Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev
Denis “electronic” Sharipov
Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov
Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy
Valeriy “B1T” Vakhovskiy
Andrey “B1ad3” Gorodenskiy (coach)
