Ukrainian esports organization NAVI has announced that their VALORANT roster will use a stand-in for their first match at VCT 2026: EMEA. Abdullah “ExiT” Al-Tuwaijri will miss the game against Heretics.
The Saudi player is experiencing delays with his visa processing. The team’s stand-in will be 18-year-old NAVI Visa Academy VALORANT project player Herman “Kolosha” Skrypka.
Kolosha has previously played for NAVI at VALORANT EMEA Clash 2026, where the team finished in 9th–12th place. At that time, he was on loan from Boars Gaming.
Today, NAVI will face Heretics at 18:00.
It is also worth noting that Take-Two is dismissing the head of its AI department and reorganizing the division.
