Perfecto to play under neutral flag
Russian-born Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy will no longer represent his country when playing competitive CS:GO.
It has been a difficult year for everyone involved with Natus Vincere.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has taken its toll on the Ukrainian organization that has suffered from the war in Ukraine. On the CS:GO team it has also been evident, that things have not been running smoothly like in 2021 when NAVI conquered the CS:GO throne.
Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy is one of the two Russian players playing for NAVI. The 23-year-old rifler has not publicly commented on the situation, but yesterday the NAVI player reached out to Liquipedia.
On his Liquipedia page there is now a non-representing flag alongside the text; Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Perfecto has requested Liquipedia to denote that he chooses to not represent Russia.
