flamie becomes a free agent

flamie becomes a free agent, ending its partnership with NAVI. Recall that the 24-year-old Russian player played for the NAVI team for 6 years.

The player joined NAVI back in 2015, during which time he won such tournaments as StarSeries & i-League CS: GO Season 7, IEM Katowice 2020 and BLAST Premier: Global Final 2020. In addition, together with flamie, the team took second place in the FACEIT Major: London 2018.

However, at the beginning of 2021, the player left the team's starting lineup, opening the way for B1t. As it turned out later, this decision benefited the team, which was able to gain a foothold as the leader of the world stage in 2021. At the same time, the organization did not adhere to the scheme with an extended squad, finally putting flamie on the bench.

The future of flamie has remained the subject of special discussions over the past months, exactly since the player left the main NAVI roster. The 24-year-old was inactive for a long time until he appeared in the recent Insane FASTCUP 1 along with a mix of streamers and former pro players.

Alexey Kucherov, COO of NAVI:“Due to the latest results of the team, the specifics of the RMR system and the uncertainty in working with a six-man roster, we will definitely not be able to use flamie in official matches this season. good, you can make sure at the WePlay Academy League, where he will play in the NAVI Junior ".

Flamie is expected to play for NAVI Junior in the WePlay Academy League Season 2 soon, confirming the recent OverDrive insider. In this case, the player himself will no longer be bound by contractual obligations with the organization.
