s1mple: "We need to get back to playing and winning tournaments that we didn't win lately"

NAVI player Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev spoke about the immediate goals of his team in an interview with the club's YouTube channel. According to him, now Natus Vincere must make every effort to lift trophies, which the CIS squad did not quite manage to do in the last competitive season.

I had a great time during the break. I was chilling and thinking a lot. Now we need to get back to playing and winning tournaments that we didn't win lately.

Kostyliev's comment was made ahead of NAVI's start in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16. He believes that Vitality is his team's main rival in the fight for playoff spots.

The toughest one is probably Vitality. We beat them 2:0 the last time but both maps were really close. We need to play more and I want to play more officials to get in the groove. We played one official game after I got here and it wasn't enough. Yeah, it was over too fast. We'll play 5 Bo3s here, so it's cool.

At the time of publication of the material, the opening meeting of Group A at ESL Pro League Season 16 between NAVI and Team Spirit is ongoing. You can follow this game on the tournament page on our website via this link.
