27-year-old Ukrainian esports athlete Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev departed NAVI. The Ukrainian club announced this via its website. According to the official statement, NAVI has received several requests for the player's transfer in recent weeks – all of them were forwarded to Oleksandr for consideration.

Following BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, we received several transfer offers for s1mple, all of which were submitted to him for consideration.

Today, we want to announce that after 9 years with the club, s1mple is leaving Natus Vincere. We are incredibly grateful to Oleksandr for the journey we traveled together, for countless trophies and a phenomenal 2021, with victories at PGL Major Stockholm, Intel Grand Slam, and other key events, for unforgettable emotions and match highlights that will forever remain in the hearts of fans.

s1mple has been a member of NAVI since 2016. In 2023, he left the team's active roster. Last year, the esports athlete briefly competed for Falcons, while this year – for FaZe (in both cases on a loan deal). According to media reports, Kostyliev's new team will be BC.Game. The player himself has not yet made any statements on this matter.
