Snatchie⁠ became a coach at the NAVI Academy

The Ukrainian eSports club NAVI has introduced a new coach for its Counter-Strike 2 academy: the well-known Polish player Michał "⁠snatchie⁠" Rudzki. The official announcement was made on social media and the organisation's website.

Snatchie's last team was Soda, for whom he played for several weeks in May of this year. Before that, he represented Entropiq, Sprout, AGO, Virtus.pro, and other clubs. The 26-year-old Pole has no prior coaching experience. Throughout his professional playing career, which began in 2012, he has earned $137,000 in prize money.

A few days ago, NAVI announced an open recruitment for a new youth team in Counter-Strike 2. Players aged 14 to 17, with over 2600 ELO on FACEIT, proficiency in English at B1+ level, and without contractual obligations to other clubs, can apply to join the project.
