Thorin (British esports journalist) has just received news that s1mple will join NAVI's core lineup for the next Major.

"I think this is nonsense, s1mple will not play as a core player for NAVI. If NAVI's management has lost their minds and made decisions like Evil Geniuses and Liquid did, then he could indeed return to the core lineup."

I am confident that NAVI's management and Andrey Gorodenskiy | B1ad3 (NAVI coach) will make accurate and correct decisions. They will not give s1mple the opportunity to enter NAVI's core lineup after almost a year of rest and not participating in any regular CS matches, it is impossible.

The only option for s1mple to enter NAVI's core lineup is for him to go abroad and play for Liquid, EG, and FURIA Esports , where he can demonstrate an extraordinary universal level.

So, if NAVI's management makes the right decision, it is impossible for s1mple to directly replace someone and enter NAVI's core lineup."
