Earlier this week, Natus Vincere CEO Eugene «HarisPilton» Zolotarev commented on possible changes in the organization, which may occur against the backdrop of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In an interview with the Washington Post, he noted that in the near future they plan to stop cooperating with those who are in Russia and pay taxes in that country.
This could be a significant problem for the CS: GO division, as there are three Russian players in it. Nevertheless, Zolotarev expressed hope that NAVI would not have to change the current lineups for all major disciplines. He also stressed that the organization is ready to assist players with relocation.
Answering a direct question about the future of the CS: GO team, Zolotarev also noted that he hopes for the relocation of current Russian players and the preservation of the current roster. Later, s1mple voiced a similar position, noting that there will most likely be no changes in the roster.
The NAVI management also mentioned that all decisions on reshuffles will be made only after the completion of the current tournaments. Natus Vincere will begin play in Group D at ESL Pro League Season 15 on Wednesday. This will be the team's first appearance since losing in the IEM Katowice semifinals about a month ago.
