In an interview with the organizers of IEM Dallas 2024, NAVI coach Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy expressed his dissatisfaction with his team's performance. He mentioned that the club would consider roster changes if the team did not achieve satisfactory results by the end of the year.
"The next season will reveal a lot. After the summer, before the Major in Shanghai, we will have more bootcamps. This season will show whether we need changes or not. Of course, if we keep playing like this, sooner or later we will have to make some changes”.
B1ad3 highlighted that NAVI shows progress during bootcamps. Due to the busy competition schedule, the team can only gather for their first post-Major training camp in July.
"We can't showcase our best form like we do at the Major. We need bootcamps. Before the Major, we had a long bootcamp—about two weeks. We worked very hard and immediately saw improvements. We need to focus more on this. Unfortunately, the next bootcamp will be at the beginning of the next season, sometime in July. We don't have time to do it before the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024”.
At the current IEM Dallas 2024, the NAVI roster did not make it out of the group stage, finishing in 9th-12th place. The next tournament for the "Born to Win" will be the BLAST Premier Spring Final, held from June 12-16 in London.
