NAVI promotes makazze and puts entire academy roster up for transfer

Natus Vincere has announced that Drin "makazze" Shakiri, a player from the club’s academy lineup, will continue his career in the organization’s main Counter-Strike 2 team. The official announcement was made via the team’s social media channels.

It has not been revealed whom makazze will replace in the main roster. At the same time, NAVI stated that the organization can no longer support an academy lineup due to limitations within the Counter-Strike ecosystem. As a result, the entire NAVI Junior roster has been put up for transfer.
