Flamie has been standing in for Na'Vi for the past three weeks. Today, his trial period has ended and he has become an official member of the team.
The young talent left HellRaisers last month to stand in for Natus Vincere, who needed a new fifth after the retirement of long-time player Sergey "starix" Ischuk. Since the start of his 'probation' term, Yegor "flamie" Vasiliev has played in a number of online league matches. He also participated with the team at the StarSeries StarLadder Season 12 LAN Finals.
Some fans have been skeptical, but most seem to support the addition of flamie, who has demonstrated high motivation and immense skill in his short career. While Na'Vi's performances have been average of late, the organization and its players are obviously pleased with their new signing.
Na'Vi is hopeful that the permanent addition of flamie will allow them to return to the elite stature which they have enjoyed in Counter-Strike 1.6 and CS:GO in past years. Only time will tell if this will come to fruition.
Na'Vi now has an official roster of:
Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko
Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev
Denis "seized" Kostin
Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovacs
Yegor "flamie" Vasiliev
Sergey "starix" Ischuk (manager/coach)
You can see Na'Vi in action this weekend at the ESL Pro League LAN Finals.
