Npl: "After BLAST, We Did a Lot of Work And Fixed Mistakes. NAVI Became Stronger"

Earlier, in group A, NAVI beat Cloud9 and Team Liquid without any problems. Both matches ended with a score of 2:0. Denis electroNic Sharypov's team has already earned a slot in the tournament's playoffs. However, they still have to play with G2 Esports for first place in the group and a quota into the semifinals. As part of BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, "born to win" twice lost to G2. The rookie of the Ukrainian club believes that the balance of forces has changed.

Of course we have a better chance now because we made, even from Copenhagen to Katowice, we made a lot of work and we fixed our mistakes, hopefully. Hopefully, I hope so, I mean (laughs). NAVI are a better team than we were in Copenhagen.

Npl said that after the departure of sdy, he had to absorb a lot of new information at once. However, the athlete noted that he is trying his best.

It's harder now than if it was with somedieyoung in a six-man roster, because I have more maps, new information on maps, new rounds, new positions, everything, and there's a lot of material to work on. I had with somedieyoung two or three maps, now I have seven maps, and I have to take this all and learn faster and faster. It's hard, but I try to.
