Boombl4 back in action on day 4 of EPL Group D

2-4-2022 13:31

The in-game leader has recovered from a COVID-19 bout and traveled to Düsseldorf in time for NAVI's match against Astralis.

After missing Natus Vincere's opening three series, Kirill "⁠Boombl4⁠" Mikhailov will be back in action on day four of Group D at ESL Pro League Season 15, the organization has confirmed.

The Russian in-game leader returns to help finish off what has been a successful group stage already for Natus Vincere despite the team having to utilize academy member Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov as a stand-in.

Boombl4 returns in time for matches against Astralis and Heroic

Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev & co. have already locked in a spot in the playoffs as they have yet to lose a single map after beating AGO, Evil Geniuses, and Complexity, surviving the Poles' massive resistance in a record-breaking Mirage affair and fending off a resilient squad around Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou.

NAVI will now be back in full force as they look to fight for the top spot in the group, facing the two other teams favored to advance to the playoffs in their final two matches — Astralis and HEROIC.

NAVI's matches in Group D
2-0 vs. AGO (Dust2 16-1, Mirage 37-34)
2-0 vs. Evil Geniuses (Overpass 16-2, Dust2 16-10)
2-0 vs. Complexity (Ancient 16-13, Dust2 16-14)
vs. Astralis (Saturday, 19:30 )
vs. HEROIC (Sunday, 19:30 )

Honestly headtr1ck is the reason Na'Vi suffered on Dust2 A Long. Boomage has a fantastic A Long presence, with information plays and harass. Bring back the boom!

It was said but all the comments got deleted. KEKW

No one said this cause there is no operation. It is a real war, and your terorists are dying every day :). Clear your brain, before calling the war started by russia “operation”
