s1mple returns to NAVI

s1mple returns to NaVi to participate in BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. The 24-year-old Ukrainian sniper announced this on Twitter, posting with the caption "I'm flying to Denmark, I'll see you all soon."

Recall that s1mple missed the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 group stage, giving himself extra time to rest. At that time, his place on the server was occupied by a young headtr1ck, with whom "Born to Win" became the best team in group B. At the same time, the NAVI organization and the coach B1ad3 personally emphasized that the club's main star could return to the main clip before the start of the Play-In stage.
