Natus Vincere CS2 player, Ivan `iM` Mihai, has shared his perspective on the team`s current difficulties. According to iM, the team faced similar challenges in 2024, but their strong individual performance helped them overcome those hurdles. He opened up about these issues in a recent video posted on NAVI`s official YouTube channel.
When asked about the exact problems within NAVI, iM admitted it`s a complex issue without a straightforward answer. He suggested that the team might be experiencing a downturn, despite knowing they are capable of much better results. The reasons, he explained, could range from communication breakdowns to individual misplays. These issues are further magnified in the MR12 format of CS2, where even minor mistakes can be heavily punished. iM drew a comparison to 2024, noting that while similar problems existed then, the team`s exceptional shooting skills often masked these shortcomings.
Earlier, NAVI`s coach, Andrei `B1ad3` Horodenkyi, also addressed the team`s current form. B1ad3 indicated that if NAVI fails to advance to the quarterfinals of the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, roster changes could be considered. However, he clarified that these changes might not necessarily involve replacing players.
