League of Legends: Team BDS ace support reportedly close to joining NAVI..

Foreign media outlet Sheep Esports exclusively reported on Saturday that Team BDS ace support player Parus will join NAVI.

According to the report, NAVI actually had already began approaching Parus during the off-season, but the player didn't respond until now, wanting to see if other teams would approach him.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Parus will sign a two-year contract with the Ukrainian esports powerhouse which runs until November 2027, with the partnership taking effect from Split 1 of the 2026 season.

The report also revealed that besides NAVI, Fnatic (FNC) and GIANTX also attempted to approach Parus during this period.

However, due to the inability to reach an agreement with the former and that GIANTX's approach fell through, Parus ultimately did not join either team.

It is understood that FNC and GIANTX have now turned their attention to vying for the latter's Korean player, Jun.
