Money Over Conscience - NAVI Fired CS:GO Roster Analyst

Ukrainian esports club Natus Vincere has made the decision to dismiss their CS:GO roster analyst, Vsevolod "PRADIGGG" Plotnikov. Despite the organization's prohibition, he accepted a job at the Paragon Esports analytics studio.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukrainian territory, NAVI stated that all Russians working in the club were against the war and condemned their country's actions. However, as practice has shown, this is not entirely true. Plotnikov wanted to work at Paragon Esports studio and requested permission from the organization, but he received a negative response. PRADIGGG insisted on his decision and proceeded with the Russian-language broadcast. As a result, he was fired.

It is worth noting that on PRADIGGG's Liquipedia page, he removed the Russian flag, and despite this, he is now working in a Russian analytics studio, alongside Anatoliy "liTTle" Yashin, who continues to support terrorist actions by his country against Ukraine. Thus, PRADIGGG tried to sit on two chairs. As of the publication of this article, the former NAVI analyst has not commented on the situation.

Former NAVI CS and Dota 2 team manager, Igor "caff" Sidorenko, defends the territorial integrity of Ukraine on the front lines, and having such two-faced individuals like PRADIGGG in the organization can only bring reputational damage to the club.
