NaVi

People are talking about FPX Roster -> NaVi but what about Acend roster (-L1NK + ANGE1) -> NaVi? It seems pretty plausible to me especially since there were some early rumors of NaVi wanting to go with Eastern and Central European talent, only ANGE1 was leaked to be joining NaVi, not the rest of FPX, and because I don't think NaVi, a Ukrainian org, would sign Russian players after taking such an anti-war stance. Lmk what yall think of this tho. I think its way more likely that NaVi go this route instead.

EDIT: Damn everyone on here really underestimating Cloud who has proven himself time and time again to be one of the best in EMEA huh. No worries. Its just more opportunities for good orgs to come in and pick up this dude. He will prove y'all wrong once he makes franchising mark my words :)

2 Russians on NAVI CSGO roster 🥱

Really hard, at least they signed the only tier 1 ukrainian player according to the easter egg from their promotional video

theres a big difference between signing new Russian players and keeping old ones.

no there isnt, they are civilians as long as they dont pay taxes in russia there is no issue (they live in serbia so no issue)

sorry, but who is the tier 1 player from ukraine?

ANGE1?

there was already an article that navi is looking to sign the whole fpx roster apart from ardiis who is prolly still exploring his options.

ANGE1?

Only ANGE1 and sorry already boomer

even so, seeing how they dropped tier 1 russian talent like cloud, I don't think they're looking to sign any more russians. If they were, they probably wouldn't've dropped Cloud only to (potentially) get Zyppan in his place.

if thats true, it would be such a backstab to Cloud. He's been the heart and soul of that roster for so long and they replace him for someone like Zyppan

are you really this dense? why would they keep Cloud if they get the FPX roster? they dont care about signing russian players, but they made it clear they wont sign russians living and paying taxes there

I'm pretty sure Cloud no longer lives in Russia. Why would a CIS org like NaVi pick up an arguably worse, non-CIS player for more money when they can instead keep their arguably better CIS player for absolutely free?

zyppan and cloud are both good. who knows maybe if ardiis doesnt stay, cloud or ssk might take his place.

because the team works and you dont know how much Zyppan adds to it, because Zyppan is proven at T1 Lan Player and Cloud only played EU and the best teams there were a broken TL and FNATIC

By that logic, Kiles and d3ffo are also better than Cloud because they won Champs 2021 with Acend and Masters 2021 with Gambit respectively. Doesn't make sense no?

Dude are u dumb? Kills and d3ffo played a year ago. We are talking about present stats. There is no way cloud is remotely better than zyppan in current scenario. L take after l take

Just stp fighting man, whole fpx is getting signed by navi don't be selfish and jealous coz tl never won anything and would also never if teams like fpx would remain as a team, you're just jealous man

EMEA has tougher competition than either Masters or Champions, on average

zyppan played 625 rounds and cloud 333 in stage 2
and in stage 1 was zyppan better

Why would they pick up acend over fpx. Fpx is just better and most of the russian players arent even living in russia rn. Also george also reported navi was trying to buy the entire roster not just ange1. Please use brain

you really are dumb enough to think they dropped cloud after keeping him just coz they didnt want russian talent, or isnt it more obvious that they got rid of cloud coz they were just signing a whole new roster, most possibly fpx. you chose to be selectively dumb here

But FPX always end up in the final parts so doesn't apply

You know they kicked Cloud and ssk from navi a while ago right?
