Natus Vincere has expanded its youth academy by bringing in another promising teenager – thirteen-year-old Adam «froz1k» Nagorny from Ukraine. So far froz1k's most notable achievement – rating over 3000 ELO on FACEIT. In a statement released on the NAVI website, he said that he has always admired the team's play and is incredibly happy that they have given him the opportunity to prove himself. He expects that the experience he will gain at the academy will allow him to reach a new level of play.
NAVI is currently implementing several projects for promising players of different ages. One of the most famous – team NAVI Junior, which is among the best youth CS: GO teams in the world. In addition, the cyber sports organization is forming a second team called NAVI Youth. The selection to it takes place through the Road to NAVI platform.
At the same time, younger players, such as froz1k, do not immediately start playing in a team. They will first have to learn the theory and practice individual tactics. The NAVI Junior coach notes that because of this approach, the moment a player begins to perform on the professional stage, they already know his strengths and weaknesses and understand what role he will be most effective in.
