Regarding Natus Vincere’s comeback process, OverDrive has expressed his opinion. He believes that the current NaVi is still far from being a Top10 team:
“Before making a return to the Top10, NaVi will undergo further roster changes. To eliminate the impact of electroNic and Perfecto’s departure, more than one roster change is needed.”
During this year’s break, NaVi lost Denis ‘electroNic’ Sharipov and Ilya ‘Perfecto’ Zalutskiy, while bringing in Mihai ‘iM’ Ivan, Aleksi ‘Aleksib’ Virolainen, and Justinas ‘jL’ Lekavicius, transitioning into an international lineup.
In the BLAST Premier Fall Groups, although NaVi was defeated twice by Heroic, there was evident improvement in their second encounter.
Currently ranked 30th in the world, NaVi’s world ranking is expected to further rise after the BLAST Premier Fall Groups.
