Information began circulating online that in 2023 NAVI allegedly benched s1mple themselves because other players did not want to play with him.
This claim was made by NAVI Junior coach snatchie during a podcast, but he later walked it back. According to him, it was not official information, but only a personal opinion he shared during an informal conversation.
snatchie explained that he did not intend to spread rumors or unverified information. They treat the podcast as a casual discussion without heavy editing, so that fragment was never meant to be a public statement or insider report. After the situation, the video was temporarily set to private to review the material and keep only factual content.
As a result, the story that NAVI “forced” s1mple onto the bench has not been confirmed.
Earlier, KSCERATO gave an interview to the Players.
