GuardiaN reportedly on his way out of Na\u2019VI CSGO roster ESL \/ Na’ViA new report from 1pv indicates that Natus Vincere veteran AWPer Ladislav \u2018GuardiaN\u2019 Kov\u00e1cs could be on his way out of the active CSGO roster, with star player Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev considering taking on the sniper role, himself. It appears that GuardiaN\u2019s reunion with tour with Natus Vincere is going to be short-lived, following some less than stellar results. The Slovakian veteran re-joined with Na\u2019Vi in September 2019 after his two-year stint with FaZe Clan. According to information provided to CSGO news site 1pv, GuardiaN is on the verge of \u201cbeing pushed out of Natus Vincere,\u201d and is not taking part in team practices. The report also alleges that s1mple is considering a return to the primary AWPing role, meaning the team would seek out a new rifler instead of a new sniper. Rodion \u201cfear\u201d Smyk, from the Natus Vincere Junior roster, has allegedly been filling in for GuardiaN during practices \u2013 but there has been no indication whether or not he is being considered for permanent replacement. The report indicates that it \u201cdoes not appear\u201d that fear will be the permanent addition, but this has not been confirmed. 1pv also states that Na\u2019Vi will be looking for a \u201cyoung rifler from the CIS scene.\u201d GuardiaN officially re-joined Natus Vincere in September, after a playoffs elimination at the Berlin major and a disappointing fifth-place finish at in-game leader Danylo \u201cZeus\u201d Teslenko\u2019s final event, BLAST Moscow. The 5th\/8th place finish at Berlin marked a slide in performance at majors for Na\u2019Vi, who made the grand finals of FACEIT London and the semifinals of IEM Katowice before StarLadder. Unfortunately for the iconic CIS team, the return of GuardiaN didn\u2019t produce the desired results, as they are in the midst of a trophy drought that has lasted since April 2019, when they won StarSeries Season 7. This current drought is the team\u2019s longest since their horrendous 2017 campaign, which led to GuardiaN\u2019s first departure from the team.

While the Na\u2019Vi duo of s1mple and Denis \u2018electronic\u2019 Sharipov has continued to thrive, the fall off of GuardiaN\u2019s performance since returning of the team has limited its success at events. While s1mple is only 22, Na\u2019Vi don\u2019t appear interested in squandering any more of his prime, and the right addition to this roster could propel the team from fringe contenders to consistent tournament favorites. Na\u2019Vi are scheduled to compete at BLAST Premier Spring and the ICE Challenge 2020 at the beginning of February. They also have a Current Legends spot at the ESL One Rio major in May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
