The Counter-Strike community exploded with speculation when Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi, NAVI’s sporting director, followed Danil “molodoy” Holubenko on Instagram. That single action instantly triggered waves of humor, excitement, and panic — many now believe it could mark the beginning of the biggest transfer of the year.
A Symbolic Click That Sparked a Storm
B1ad3 has always been known for his calculated and deliberate approach. Every public move he makes gets dissected by NAVI’s fans, so his new follow immediately stood out. Instead of appearing accidental, it looked like a sign — possibly a first step toward contact between NAVI and molodoy, one of 2025’s most explosive rising stars.
Molodoy recently earned the MVP award at IEM Chengdu 2025, becoming the symbol of FURIA’s revival. Under FalleN’s leadership, his arrival transformed the team from inconsistent challengers into champions. With molodoy’s sharp aim and calm mindset, FURIA lifted titles at both IEM Chengdu and FISSURE Playground 1, while the young Kazakh gained a reputation for tactical intelligence beyond his years.
FalleN Reacts: “We Lost You to NaVi?”
The first major reaction came from FalleN himself. His comment mixed disbelief with humor and quickly spread across Telegram and Twitter:
B1ad3 followed Danil? We lost you to NaVi, unbelievable bro… If they want to buy you for $25 million, that would be the biggest deal in esports history. No way, bro, you’re not going anywhere. Sorry to tell you.
Journalist Ozzny amplified the moment with a tweet quoting yuurih’s reaction:
yuurih: ‘B1ad3 followed Danil’ — FalleN: ‘$25M? We lost him to NaVi.
The post hit over 90,000 views within hours. Consequently, fans flooded the comments with memes about “the most expensive Instagram follow in Counter-Strike history.”
Twitter Goes Wild

The social media response quickly turned chaotic. Brazilian fans filled timelines with jokes, sarcasm, and emotional pleas not to “lose” their star to a European giant.
- @raf4p: “Pretty cheap fine to take him out of FURIA, even more now appreciating at the high.”
- @PALMITu: “Know that this simple one is ours.”
- @FpsCSss: “Going to NaVi now is foolishness. Molodoy is learning a lot from FalleN.”
- @t998sh: “25M — you can buy the whole Brazil, lil bro.”
- @CSTVLT: “It’s only 25 mil $$$ .”
Meanwhile, other users cheered for a potential superteam:
frozen and molodoy to NaVi — LET’S GO!
Could the Transfer Actually Happen?
Although no official talks have surfaced between NAVI and FURIA, the possibility of a deal remains highly unlikely — at least for now. Molodoy recently renewed his contract after IEM Chengdu, and Brazilian reports claim his buyout clause exceeds $10 million.
FalleN’s playful mention of “$25M” might be exaggerated, yet it highlights how valuable the player has become. Meanwhile, NAVI is still adjusting after its 2025 roster overhaul. The current lineup — b1t, w0nderful, jL, iM, and B1ad3’s tactical leadership — shows promise but still seeks stability.
As a result, rumors suggest the organization could explore replacing a rifler or integrating fresh firepower. Molodoy, with his composure, adaptability, and championship experience, would fit that role perfectly.

Social Impact: A Small Gesture, a Massive Reaction
This entire episode demonstrates how quickly esports culture reacts to even the smallest signal. One Instagram follow — and within hours, a player, coach, and two organizations became the center of global debate.
For molodoy, this moment confirms his growing status. He is no longer just an MVP — he’s the new face of Counter-Strike 2’s next generation.
Does B1ad3’s follow mean a real transfer is on the horizon? No one knows for sure. However, one thing is certain: molodoy’s name now stands alongside the biggest transfer rumors in Counter-Strike history. Even if this was merely a fleeting social-media moment, it has already become a meme — and possibly the opening chapter of CS2’s next great storyline.
