B1ad3 på s1 mple: "Jag hoppas att han kommer tillbaka måndagen den 22 augusti, men kanske inte"

B1ad3, the head coach of the NaVi team, shared his expectations for the return of s1mple. According to the 35-year-old Ukrainian specialist, the Born to Win sniper can still join the team. However, this point is still being discussed by the parties and is under the question mark.

How much time do you need to train after s1mple returns? I think two hours. I'm serious. I hope he returns on Monday, August 22, but maybe not. This is being decided for now.

B1ad3 also shared his thoughts on the format of BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022.

This is what happened at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. Then we lost to MIBR and Astralis, defeated Liquid, then lost to NIP, and then took revenge on NIP. I like this tournament format.

Recall that on the eve of NAVI became the best team in group B at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Starting the championship with a defeat from Complexity (9:16), the team got three victories in a row over G2 Esports (16:14), Complexity (16:3) and Team Liquid (16:4), thus making it to the finals of the Play-In stage.

BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 takes place from 19 to 28 August in Copenhagen. As part of the championship, twelve partner teams from Europe, the CIS and North America are fighting for a prize pool of $177,498, rating points, and six tickets to BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2022.
