NAVI place headtr1ck on transfer list

2-9-2022 17:13

The Ukrainian youngster is set to bid farewell to Natus Vincere after two years' service.

Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov has been placed on Natus Vincere's transfer list. The move marks the end of a two-year partnership between the two parties, dating back to when the youngster joined NAVI Youth in 2020.

Natus Vincere is open to loan or transfer offers for the young Ukrainian, stating that they will "happily support headtr1ck in his search for a new team," as he has now "gained enough knowledge and experience to feel confident on the tier-1 scene."

The 18-year-old recently played for the main team at BLAST Premier Fall Groups

headtr1ck's exit comes as quite the blow for the NAVI Junior roster. The 18-year-old was the team's highest-rated player by quite some margin, averaging a 1.16 rating over 74 maps, with his closest peer being Andrii "⁠npl⁠" Kukharskyi at 1.01. headtr1ck was also instrumental in NAVI Junior's most-recent 5-6th place run through WePlay Academy League Season 5, putting up an impressive 1.24 rating tournament-wide — the fifth-best showing in the event.

The 18-year-old has also garnered some experience at the tier one level of play, standing in for Natus Vincere at both ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier Fall Groups. headtr1ck's solid performance in the latter was enough to power the side to a first-place finish in the group stage, boasting a 1.12 rating throughout his short-lived stint.

headtr1ck will look to make the next step up in his career in spite of Andrey "⁠B1ad3⁠" Gorodenskiy's comments at BLAST Fall Groups, where the Natus Vincere coach stated that he was "not ready to play versus tier one comfortably enough."

headtr1ck to step in for s1mple at BLAST Premier Fall Groups

"Over more than two years at NAVI, he has shown himself to be a true professional and master of his craft. Along with his personal qualities, Daniil's gaming skills make him a perfect candidate for any top team," said NAVI Junior's coach, Amiran "⁠aMi⁠" Rehviashvili.

"I want to say a special thank you to my coach Amiran for believing in me from day one and giving me a chance to showcase myself. It is hard to accept that my time at the academy has come to an end, but I realize that I have to move forward and reach new heights," commented headtr1ck in the organisation's press release.

With headtr1ck on the transfer list, NAVI Junior now have:

Andrii "⁠npl⁠" Kukharskyi
Mark "⁠UNBR0KEN⁠" Varakuta
Dmytro "⁠dem0n⁠" Myroshnychenko
Adam "⁠froz1k⁠" Nahornyi

Amiran "⁠aMi⁠" Rehviashvili (coach)

Daniil "⁠headtr1ck⁠" Valitov (transfer list)

Damn NaVi making bank :D

Does he?

2022-09-03 07:45

G2 indeed is a tier 2 team, wasted big cash on star players like niko and monesy, but look at the outcome

2022-09-02 20:38

yo say that like all other tier 1 teams have been doing so much better its literally only been faze and/or navi winning the majority of tournaments here like stfu all t1 teams have problems

2022-09-03 03:14

you are under arrest

2022-09-02 21:49

shit

2022-09-02 21:54

Xdddd

2022-09-02 17:20

nip go international and kick pric3tag

lol

Go to entropiq elian inconsistent and underwhelming latley

I was thinking the same

2022-09-02 20:50

13 days is apparently enough to become ready for tier 1 lmao.

2022-09-02 17:18

he showed better than s1mple on lastest games...so yes probably

2022-09-02 17:24

Yeah he was way better than S1mple after player break

2022-09-03 08:06

Which they lost (??) What world record did they set

2022-09-03 23:10

blade is a coach not mangement or ceo.

2022-09-02 18:27

"I'm my opinion, Headtr1ck is not ready for t1 competition." -Blade" In* Also, not even an accurate quote. Nice attempt though. "I think that he is not ready to play versus tier one comfortably enough." -- Accurate American

2022-09-02 23:03

he is really decent, i think they can make some good money off of him, he will have a good career, but no chance in navi right now or why not -sdy +headtr1ck or do roles clash

breh tf is this

600K hahahaha maybe g2 are looking?

This was the joke

2022-09-02 20:25

gl maybe he can go back to rifle now

Does he speak English? If so, - CeRq, +headtr1ck

2022-09-02 17:23

not gonna fix eg tho

2022-09-03 00:58

It would make them a ton better

2022-09-03 01:03

liquid can get him but I don't think they will. I don't see any other teams right now in the market for awper who could afford that price tag

top tier if he speaks english: astralis, nip if he wants to grow in his own language: 1win, entropiq edit: forze ?

2022-09-02 17:29

you really think Astralis and NiP communicate in english?

2022-09-03 11:12

no,but if they want to step up, they should

2022-09-05 03:17

out of 17 majors, 1 was won by international team, so no

2022-09-05 15:09

its 2022 my friend.wake up

2022-09-05 16:11

you need to be fluent at english to achieve same chemistry in the team, the fpl english is not enough, Astralis would never win 4 majors using english

2022-09-05 16:52

osee is good tho

2022-09-02 17:25

osee is getting better and has room to improve, so why would liquid?

2022-09-02 17:34

Osee doing great lately

2022-09-02 17:35

lol osee much better then bottrick

2022-09-02 17:42

$600k sheesh

I think 600k$ is just a meme. Not real price.

exactly

2022-09-02 17:50

W for navi

2022-09-02 17:26

Unexpected

He's really good Gl

2022-09-02 17:28

headtr1ck - why me? Navi - we just lost against endpoint. can't blame it on s1mple. you're responsible for it. So you'll be sold.

GL really good sniper!

2022-09-02 17:30

Here comes a new player for Entropiq, Thank you El1an.

sell s0mple for some million give chance to headtr1ck !!!

2022-09-02 17:32

gl to him

The next m0nesy

2022-09-02 17:33

good trick

2022-09-02 17:44

LMFAOO blad3 said no

G2?

Blade :"I THINK HEADTR1CK IS NOT READY TO PLAY VERSUS TIER ONE COMFORTABLY ENOUGH" NAVI, after a few days, trying to get some cash in : will "happily support headtr1ck in his search for a new team," as he has now "gained enough knowledge and experience to feel confident on the tier-1 scene." Sounds legit.

+1 blade did everyone dirty with this interview

2022-09-02 17:37

respect blade the mastermind and just no fuck giver

wouldn't surprise me if headtr1ck was the one who asked to leave tbh

2022-09-02 17:43

His quote in the article somewhat implies it was navi's decision

2022-09-02 17:51

He said the same thing about m0NESY back in the day who hadn't actually played a single game in tier 1 unlike headtr1ck or b1t.

2022-09-02 18:11

For el1an?

2022-09-02 17:38

EZ money

2022-09-02 17:41

Imma buy him for my valorant matchmaking squad if I win on lottery

wtf? conflict with some of the top dogs? s1mple don't want competition?

$$$ He looked good so they want to sell him while the iron is hot

2022-09-02 17:52

Ppl think he is scared of headtrick. At least, name monesy. The guy is legit the number 1 in the world and headtrick has 1.09 rating in junior league.

2022-09-02 18:04

Nicee!

2022-09-02 17:45

nice of them, he was doing good in S1mples absence

2022-09-02 17:46

I like the guy, lets see him playing on a team!

2022-09-02 17:47

monesy = headtr1ck? wtf 600k to this guy is a waste of money

it was a joke

i can see him going to a t2-t3 team in about a month, something like EC Kyiv, SINNERS, Entropiq or even GL

it wouldnt surprise me if he was like 200k

Gl man

2022-09-02 17:53

Good marketing decision. They let him play group stage with Headtr1ck to show him off to the world, even if it was just for a few matches, and almost right after he goes on the transfer list. That move definitely spun his price up to a good 150-250%

Flag brain checks out

2022-09-02 23:40

," as he has now "gained enough knowledge and experience to feel confident on the tier-1 scene." b1ad3 disagrees.

2022-09-02 18:00

Great player! Don’t know if he speaks english but if he does should be a very good pickup for many teams Gl man!

m0nesy mk 2? I think he can be a good puzzle for uprising teams

Blade - "I dont think hes good enough for tier 1" Navi today - " we will help him find a team, he has the experience and is ready for tier 1"

Maybe entropiq ? Ellan is so depressing to watch

2022-09-02 18:02

But Entropiq doesnt have money

2022-09-02 18:12

I doubt the 600k. It is a joke. Probably 100k tbh. Blade just said he is not ready for t1.

2022-09-02 18:14

navi massive money problems???

2022-09-02 18:06

S1mple not happy with Headtrick’s performance, looking like he will get replaced so made the Org transfer him to save his spot on the main squad.

He is a scam

only 600k?

Sadge(((

Hello NIP?

2022-09-02 18:13

TBH m0nesy worth 600k, Headtr1ck worth 400k

agreed, they can't value headtr1ck at the same amount and expect a sale. something more reasonable like 400k, maybe yeah

2022-09-03 16:28

didn't they literally say that he isn't ready for T1? lmao

-sdy simple to rifle kid to awp navi to cement top1

2022-09-02 18:20

Unpopular opinion: Swap headtrick with sdy, regardless of role difference.

2022-09-02 18:21

They couldn’t sell Fear or Aunkere.. how they going to see this guy :c

lol guy got some tier 1 experience and noped the f out of the academy roster, good on him

Kick zywh0 and get headtr1ck. Vitality will improve no doubts

2022-09-02 20:21

should kick s0mple and add headtr1ck, maybe they will start winning again

2022-09-06 10:52

So s1mple missing group stage was so that NAVI could showcase headtr1ck for a sale. Makes sense now.

2022-09-02 20:23

Makes sense, had a pretty good showing in the main squad and is not expected to replace S1mple anytime soon. Make hay while the sun shines.

2022-09-02 20:42

i mean.... -hooxi +headtr1ck is clear right?

2022-09-02 20:51

lmao no one wants him

2022-09-02 21:47

Congratz entropiq now u have an awaper

2022-09-02 22:42

600k? scam! nobody will buy him

2022-09-02 23:15

Navi: Thanks for bailing out S1mple, theres the door.

2022-09-02 23:41

dumb move they should keep him, young promising talent

2022-09-02 23:54

2022-09-03 11:01

maybe na'vi did this to avoid lawsuits or something I don't know. maybe all blade was trying was not to sell him, who knows.

2022-09-03 07:28

Blades comment was so unnecessary and prolly fcked tbis kids career

2022-09-03 09:21

yeah there was no need to say that and double as stupid since they want to sell him like" he's too bad for me but every team should take him" sounds pretty arrogant somehow

2022-09-03 16:31

Exactly, why would you say that if you were going to sell him. You lost money by saying that

2022-09-04 17:22

hey @nip, if you can't get devve back, -plopski +headtrick, turn est3ag to support

2022-09-03 11:15

maybe heattr1ck should supporting his country by playing in EG.PA #respect

2022-09-03 13:40

Some people rly think that NAV1 sealing him for 600k.. Pls just kys..

2022-09-03 16:43

sealed into the crystal of power

2022-09-03 18:25

EG should try to get him, at this point it just pointless keeping Cerq on the team

2022-09-03 16:50

Pretty sure that Na'Vi had that thought in mind long ago, but wanted to show people that he can play in tier 1. So perfect opportunity came and they got first in Blast groups. He played fine aswell because 3 games out of 4 he had decent impact. This shows kid has potential in tier 1 just has to get some experience first. That's why he got the chance now for NA'VI and he used it perfectly. 600k seems bit too much considering m0nesy went for same price tag, but he could have future if he finds suitable team.

2022-09-04 11:43

Did they not say he is not ready for tier1 after standing in for s1mple? Now week later he is?

2022-09-05 10:31

lookin at monesy performance on g2 - he was hardly worth 600k$, headtr1ck for 600k? guy will be benched/tranferlsited untill his contract on navi is over lmao

2022-09-06 10:49
