headtr1ck to debut for Ninjas in Pajamas at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023
According to the Dexerto portal, headtr1ck will make his debut for the main squad of Ninjas in Pajamas as part of the upcoming BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023. It is reported that the 18-year-old Ukrainian sniper is included in the team’s roster, which is preparing to start the new season in two weeks.
Together with the future newcomer, nilo and maxster were also announced for the championship. However, their debut will take place only in emergency cases.
headtr1ck has been a part of NAVI since the beginning of 2020, getting into the academy project. During this time, the 18-year-old Ukrainian player managed to get from the Youth level to the second NaVi Junior squad. Under the banner of "Born to Win", the esportsman got into the TOP-3 according to the results of Gameinside.ua ROG Winter Cup 2020 and WePlay Academy League Season 2.
In addition, headtr1ck was involved in the game for the main NAVI team several times. In particular, he took part in the group stage of both ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2022. However, in early September, the Born to Win put the 18-year-old player on the transfer, having found no use for it in the main team.
In the new team, headtr1ck will take on the role of sniper, which has been performed by REZ since September. With the signing of a sniper, the Swedish organization intends to close a problematic position that has needed to be strengthened since dev1ce left in December 2021.
As it became known the day before, BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 will be held from January 19 to 29. However, the organizer has yet to provide specific details of the championship.
