If electroNic takes over the calling, it will be the Russian’s first effort at leading a squad. Since November 2017, he has been a standout performer for the Black and Yellow, finishing in the top ten of the best players list for four years in a row. Andrey “B1ad3” Gorodenskiy remarked on electroNic’s development as a player at the start of 2021, stating that he expects the Russian will become a more veteran role in the squad as Valeriy “b1t” Vakhovskiy and Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy develop into stars.
Current NAVI lineup:
- Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev
- Denis “electroNic” Sharipov
- Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy
- Valeriy “b1t” Vakhovskiy
- Andrey “B1ad3” Gorodenskiy (Coach)
