s1mple officially replaced! NAVI reveal the signing of w0nderful
The 18-year-old is set to fill the biggest shoes in Counter-Strike.
Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov is Natus Vincere’s new AWPer.
That became official this Thursday evening with the CIS giants announcing the blockbuster signing of the Ukrainian teenager from Sprout, confirming recent rumours on the transfer.
On the NAVI roster, w0nderful will replace no other than Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, who last week informed that he will take a break from competitive play.
w0nderful has said the following about the transfer to NAVI:
- I'm excited to join such a legendary organization as NAVI! It was my biggest dream ever since I started playing CS. It's obvious, right? I know that it's hard to fully replace a player of s1mple's caliber and fulfill everyone's expectations, but trust me, I'll do everything in my power!
