NAVI also wrote: "After the last Major, we received several transfer offers for s1mple, all of which were submitted to him for consideration."

"Today, we announce that s1mple will leave NAVI after playing for the club for 9 years."

"We are very grateful to Oleksandr for his journey with us, and for the countless trophies, unforgettable emotions and wonderful moments he brought us! We bid farewell for now, but we will look forward to your return to the server. GOAT! "

s1mple himself wrote: "I just want to play games, BC.Game gave me a chance, and they are serious about forming a top team. Let's see what we will do and how I can make an impact. Maybe something will change, maybe not, only the results can tell everything. "

"A wise man said that if you want to return to the first-tier scene, you need to join a third-tier team. I haven't done anything in the past two years. It's time to change this. Sitting on the bench can't waste and lose game time. "

It is worth mentioning that s1mple will replace nawwk, who was benched last month, as the team's new starting AWP-er.
