NAVI head coach Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi gave a brief interview following the team’s elimination from the IEM Cologne Major 2026 CS2 tournament. During the interview, he hinted at the possibility of roster changes ahead of the next season.

“We will definitely become stronger next season — I can’t say how exactly, but I’m quite confident that we’ll be much stronger. I’ll be thinking about our strategy for next season, and who knows — maybe we need changes.

Every top team wants to be a contender for trophies, and that is the goal every organization sets for itself. If we can’t achieve that with this roster, we’ll consider other options and figure out what can be done.

I can’t say that we definitely want to make changes, but I need to sit down and review the demos. Some agents will come to us with proposals, and then I’ll sit down with the organization to create a plan for how we can become stronger next season.”

As previously reported, NAVI were eliminated from IEM Cologne Major 2026 after losing to G2 in the playoff qualification match.
