NAVI coach before FURIA: We don’t have the same hype regarding FURIA as other teams
B1ad3 is very happy for their opening-round win yesterday, however, he's already set his sight on their next challenge.
Yesterday, Natus Vincere began their ESL Pro League campaign, as they took upon Cloud9 in what turned out to be an extremely close matchup. And even though the North Americans put up a strong fight, Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and company proved out to be too tall of an order for Cloud9.

NAVI Head Coach Andrii "B1ad3" Gorodenskyi spoke with the desk following the close 2-1 victory, where the Russian coach touches on their shaky Overpass performance, but he also looks forward to their next game vs FURIA.
One of the things NAVI and B1ad3 have been working on since IEM Katowice is the transition for their 6-man Valerii "B1T" Vakhovskyi, who now seems to play both Inferno but also Overpass. The 17-year old featured for the first time on Overpass yesterday, which he ended with a strong 1.30 Rating.
