Two NAVI Junior players have qualified for the Faceit Pro League Challenger EU. Peppe Peppzor Borak from EYEBALLERS became the third player who got into FPLC. This trio of professionals became the best in the qualification. Two of them can get into the FPL already on the next season.
What Is FPL?
Faceit Pro League is a leagues' system for professional players in CS:GO. Only individual players compete in it, but not teams. All young performers start from the lowest bronze league but quickly reach the master league, where they compete for slots in the FPLC.
Only the top 100 players of the master league have the opportunity to get a place in the Faceit Pro League Challenger, and only a few of them make it to the FPLC. In our case, three players passed to the next level.
After the FPLC, professionals have only one step to take to get into the Faceit Pro League: the highest division of the league, where most of the world's best players play. For this, it is necessary to occupy prize places in the qualification. Froz1k and Dem0N can play in the top league next month if they show good results.

Who Are Froz1k And Dem0N?
Dem0N and froz1k are up-and-coming young players from the Natus Vincere academy. This can be understood by comparing their age and achievements. Froz1k and Dem0N are 14 and 15 years old, respectively, and have already passed FPLC. For comparison, Peppzor, which went to FPLC along with them, has already turned 20 years old.
Established professional players also talk about the young talents from NAVI Junior. For example, Russel Twistzz Van Dulken believes that froz1k will blow up the pro scene next year. And this statement is not unfounded if you look at the statistics.
Froz1k, at the age of 14, beats most players at academy tournaments and tier-3 events. His average rating is 6.4. At the same time, froz1k performs as a rifleman, who rarely get the highest rating, unlike snipers. It is also worth mentioning that froz1k has been in the academy for only eight months, which speaks of his great potential.
When Will We See Froz1k And Dem0N?
NAVI Junior has no matches scheduled yet, but the professional season starts on January 14. So most likely, in February, we will already see the first matches of the academy, which will include Dem0N and froz1k.
