seized steps down from Na`Vi active roster
Denis "seized" Kostin is no longer part of Natus Vincere's active roster, team coach Mikhaylo "Kane" Blagin has revealed.
According to a post on VK.com, Denis "seized" Kostin is currently inactive, with Spirit Academy member Aleksey "1uke" Zimin set to fill in for the team in their upcoming ESL Pro League matches against North and GODSENT.
seized came close to leaving Natus Vincere in July, when he and Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács were both placed on the transfer list, only to return to the team weeks later following Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko' s arrival.

But Na`Vi's results since bringing Zeus back have been far from impressive. A 5th-8th place at DreamHack Masters Malmö was the team's deepest offline run as it was followed by group stage exits at ELEAGUE Premier and at ESL One New York. The most shocking result, however, came in the CIS qualifier for the EPICENTER wildcard stage, in which they were defeated by Vega Squadron in the final.
HLTV.org understands that seized himself requested to be moved to an inactive role, admitting that pressure had taken its toll on him.
seized has been part of Natus Vincere since August 2013, helping the team to two Major finals - losing both - and to win a number of international tournaments, including last year's ESL One New York.
Natus Vincere currently have the following roster:
Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko
Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev
Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev
Egor "flamie" Vasilyev
Aleksey "1uke" Zimin (stand-in)
Mikhaylo "Kane" Blagin (coach)
Denis "seized" Kostin (inactive)
