CIS is severely underrated, Gambit only recently became the best team in CIS and beat FPX(who could compete in CIS if they wanted too). There is a lot of talent out there that even European teams are drawn to. Like Fnatic picking up Derke.

I’m really happy for the entry of Natus, but honestly I don’t know which players they can take for build a T1 roster. Maybe they can take Falltw and Simond4rk or B1sk but I don’t know about others players. Any idea?

they can easily acquired one breath gaming rosters like minse, spellfull, sp1ke and flabben in addition as smokers. these guys easily beat gambit two weeks ago. they should have sign trexx too but unfortunately he sign for OG one day before navi announce their valorant entrance.

Since Cloud is currently the only member of NAVI and because he's the primary subject of the article, I decided to make the title's country flag Russia's. That can change in the future depending on who joins though
