NAVI add B1T to BLAST Premier Fall Finals roster

8-12-2020 20:20

The 17-year-old could make his debut for the team later today against Astralis as they experiment with a six-man roster.

NAVI Junior talent Valeriy "⁠b1t⁠" Vakhovskiy has been added to the main team's roster for the BLAST Premier Fall Finals, the Ukrainian organisation announced on Tuesday. The 17-year-old has been playing an active part in the team's scrims as of late as the organisation look to use him "on certain maps in a tournament environment."

b1t has been a standout member for NAVI Junior, the academy roster that was assembled in September 2019. He was among the first three players to be signed for the team following the NAVI Esports Camp, a project aimed at uncovering new young talent in the CIS region.

B1T could feature for NAVI against Astralis

The Ukrainian player has averaged a 1.15 rating for NAVI Junior, whose biggest achievement to date is a second-place finish in Eden Arena Malta Vibes Cup 5. He briefly subbed in for Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov in an ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe match against Heroic in September as the Russian star was experiencing connection issues.

“With the correct approach, the model with a wider roster is rather successful," NAVI coach Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy said in a statement. "I like the idea of refining players for certain maps. In the long run, it will strengthen our roster.”

Natus Vincere will face Astralis later on Tuesday in the first round of the BLAST Premier Fall Finals. The team will also compete in the IEM Global Challenge, which will run from December 15-20.

The CIS giants will field the following six-man roster in the BLAST Premier Fall Finals:

Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev
Denis "⁠electroNic⁠" Sharipov
Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov
Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev
Ilya "⁠Perfecto⁠" Zalutskiy
Valeriy "⁠b1t⁠" Vakhovskiy

2020-12-08 20:42

It woll work 100% if he will play instead of flamie

2020-12-08 20:27

I know!!! But I wanted to know why this guy think elsewise. But know I came to know that he is baiting.

2020-12-08 21:17

What the heck? Unexpected for sure. Will he replace GODFecto or FlameGOD?

Most likely flamie

2020-12-08 20:26

Definitelly flameBoT

dont even know who this kid is. thought they meant the brazilian bit

Then you are definitely not following the scene cuz na'vi announced their second roster a hell of months ago where B1t showed himself as the fastest growing and most promising. In fact, i suppose, u are one of those who watch only the most hyped matchups. Almost every1 knew bout Na'Vi Junior.

2020-12-09 02:21

I know about Navi jr. But I hate Navi so why would I ever care about Navi jr. Ive never watched them play and couldnt name a single player who has ever been on jr.

2020-12-08 20:52

who

what whos he

he has already made his debut tho

7th

Expected Rip Monesy's chance on the main roster

Monesy is too young, and needs more experience. He should train and improve while being on the Navi Junior roster and then, after a certain amount of time, he will be rdy to gather some tier 1 experience. Using him right now is too early I think.

he is too young anyway

Hes still a kid. Ofc he will have a chance in the future

It says 6-7 man roster in their article O.O

Let's see how it works out, gl!

more bait for s0mple POG

Unexpected

-s0mple +b1t

-S0mple +B0T?

expected, good thing

more bait for s0mple

he is right tho, navi junior team is to look potential baits for s1mple, the less whiny and submissive the better.

2020-12-08 20:51

Nice

2020-12-08 20:56

i already hear tox1mple bully him because he miss one shot against Astralis xD

2020-12-08 20:57

feel like all the 6 mans gonna go right down the shitter when LAN returns. Especially at valve events.

2020-12-08 20:58

if they go a 6 man they should rather go for a more experienced person steal a player from gambit or godsent.

okay i guess

Dope.

2020-12-08 21:10

Good luck Bite - S&mple + b1T

b1t vs BOOBZKI

Nice Now S1mple has 5 players to bait

B1T > m0NESY

2020-12-08 21:22

rly ?

2020-12-08 21:36

highest HS percentage of all time

2020-12-08 21:23

I'm all for 6 man roster and experiment, but do it against Astralis immediately? Isn't too much pressure for him? Well, I guess it's trial by fire, a hell fire, that is..

2020-12-08 21:24

Stop wasting money for 6 man rosters when 2 people are useless 80% of the time and 2 others are useless 50% of the time Just replace flamie with b1t and see where you can go from there

2020-12-08 21:39

doubt they ll do that flamie good bud with s1mple

2020-12-09 00:59

if navi gets rid of flamie they should get to #1 with no problem

RIP Flamie. But sadly a while coming. People thought Edward was the issue in old Navi, when really it was more that Flamie stopped having impact. Still one of the best players in majors to date though...
