headtr1ck transfers to Ninjas in Pyjamas

The esports clubs NAVI and Ninjas in Pyjamas have reached an agreement on the transfer of NAVI Junior player Daniil «headtr1ck» Valitov.

Daniil joined NAVI CS:GO Academy in April 2020. He initially played on the Youth team before moving to the Junior roster. Daniil performed several times in pro-level matches – at the ESL Pro League Season 15 and BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2022 tournaments, where his team defeated AGO, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid and G2 Esports.

We wish headtr1ck the best of luck with Ninjas in Pyjamas and look forward to seeing him in future contests. He now becomes the fourth NAVI CS:GO Academy graduate to continue his career on the Tier 1 team.

Daniil «headtr1ck» Valitov:

«After almost three years as part of the legendary NAVI club, which has become my home in this time, today marks the beginning of a new stage in my career – I join NiP.

I want to thank NAVI for everything they have done for me and express my utmost gratitude to coach Amiran for teaching me so much both in and out of the game and always believing in me.

But it's time to move on. I welcome the opportunity to play at the Tier 1 level and will try to do my absolute best. Cheer for me on the new team, your support is invaluable. Thank you all, and see you soon! :))»

Amiran «ami» Rekhviashvili — NAVI's Head of Esports:

«Daniil is the last student of our first generation of juniors, and I am thrilled he is getting a chance to show himself at the Tier 1 level on a team as strong as NiP.

headtr1ck has always been a tenacious, kind, and diligent junior: a great example of how hard work pays off. He has long waited for his moment, and now it has arrived. I don't doubt that Daniil will show his level and perform on par with our best graduates.

Good luck, boyo! <3»
