NAVI head coach Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi has sparked fresh discussion about the team’s future after admitting that the organization could consider roster changes ahead of the next season. His comments came shortly after another campaign in which NAVI failed to consistently challenge Falcons, G2 and Spirit leading many fans to debate possible solutions and potential signings.
B1ad3: “We will evaluate every opportunity”
Speaking about the future, B1ad3 made it clear that NAVI’s main goal remains competing for the biggest trophies and matching the level currently demonstrated by Vitality. According to the coach, the team will spend the off-season reviewing demos, discussing long-term plans with the organization, and analyzing any opportunities presented by player agencies.
I think we will definitely become stronger next season. I’m not sure yet how, but I’m sure about it.
B1ad3 also admitted that if the current lineup cannot achieve the desired results, NAVI will consider other options.
If we cannot do that with this lineup, we will consider other options and find what we can do.
At the same time, he stressed that no decisions have been made yet and that everything will depend on the conclusions reached after the end of the season.

Vitality’s dominance raises expectations
The NAVI coach specifically mentioned Vitality as the benchmark every elite team now has to chase. He noted that simply winning tournaments when Vitality are absent is not enough and that organizations must constantly seek ways to improve.
If we see an opportunity to do that, we will always use it.
His remarks immediately fueled speculation about possible transfers and the direction NAVI could take during the upcoming player break.
Community Immediately Starts Discussing Changes
B1ad3’s comments quickly spread across social media, where fans and analysts offered different opinions regarding the future of the roster. Several users argued that signing Robin “frozen” Kool should become a priority, with one fan calling the possibility of ignoring the Slovak star “a generational fumble.” Others focused on the team’s tactical approach, suggesting NAVI need to play more aggressively on the CT side and take more risks instead of relying on overly structured setups.
Some fans criticized Justinas “jL” Lekavicius and Mihai “iM” Ivan, while others defended the current lineup and emphasized that only one game-changing addition could elevate the squad back to championship contention. Messages such as “Bye bye iM” and “Bring frozen” appeared repeatedly throughout the discussion, illustrating how divided the community remains over NAVI’s future.
