On June 28, NaVi management publicly responded to rumors regarding b1t's contract situation. For several days, there was speculation online that the organization was holding one of the best CS2 players in the world against his will. The head of NaVi's esports division denied this information, calling it inaccurate.
b1t had a stable season; however, NaVi did not reach the playoffs at the IEM Cologne Major, which intensified discussions about possible roster changes. Against the backdrop of an active summer transfer campaign in CS2, interest in the fate of the organization's key players sharply increased.
According to a club representative, NaVi does not practice forced retention of players. Contractual issues are resolved in the standard manner. The question of whether b1t will continue to play for NaVi in the next season officially remains open — no decisions have been announced in either direction.
NaVi RepresentativeThe information about coercion is not true. We respect our players.
