I would like to welcome Ladik home — we missed you, BOSS :) I am sure you'll show your comeback to all the skeptics that you're in great fighting condition both in terms of gameplay and motivation. I personally know that's true!

As for the coach replacement — I've been working with Andrii side by side for over half a year and I can certainly say that he's super solid, and his systematic approach to work is exactly what we need now. It's going to be hard to replace you, but I know you are where you're supposed to be right now.

Also, good luck to Sanya and Kirill in their new roles. It's a big responsibility but you can handle it!

It's nice to come back home, where I started my long journey as a professional player. I will do my best to give this team everything I can, for it to become the best team and to win a major. Thank you for this opportunity.

NAVI.CS:GO coach

During the time I spent with guys at the tournaments, I was able to learn all the inner processes and analyze the way the team is working. It's obvious the roster needed a reboot — in my opinion, it was inevitable. So now I know for sure what needs to be changed, and how to develop the team further. 

Some things need to be rebuilt, others need to be integrated for the first time. Sure, this is not an instant process and the team needs time to go to the new level. We set the highest goals, and we have confidence in our own abilities.

The support of the fans on the way to the championship is very important for us!
