The Saudi-backed Organization announced the loan of the best player of the CS:GO era, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyljev. The Ukrainian had been on voluntary leave from NAVI since the launch of CS2. Now the Ukrainian joins Falcons, where he will replace Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas. So far the loan is just one month long.
After the announcement, s1mple tweeted:
– That was quick; thank you NAVI for opportunity, let’s see what happens next.
