Leader Kirill”Boombl4“Mikhaylov is now free of any contract. The 24-year-old Russian player, present in the Natus Vincere roster since 2019, was released by his structure after being placed on the bench last May following extra-sporting problems which had caused talk last year. The former captain of the NaVi, had been dismissed so as not to see his image harm the reputation of the club, when he announced his divorce from Lika “LiQueen” Mikhailova after abusive messages from his wife, and private photos showing the CS player using drugs.
In order to avoid seeing NaVi’s image suffer from the tumultuous relationship between the two people, thehe structure had decided to dissociate itself from its leader, especially since the latter had remained in Russia with his wife, who was rather favorable to the invasion of Ukraine, while the rest of the esports world announced sanctions against pro-Russian structures, or that star s1mple supported the Ukrainian army.
His contract ended, Boombl4 is looking for a new team with a hell of a track record. With Natus Vincere, one of the best teams in the world in 2022, he has won the PGL Major of Stockholm in 2021, finished in the final of that of Antwerp 2022, but also won the BLAST Premier World Final 2021, the ESL Pro League S14, the IEM 16 in Cologne or the IEM 15. After events that seriously tarnished his image, and at the age of 24, however, will he be able to find a structure quickly? Hard to say. According to HLTV, he could build a new team under the BetBoom tag, with Forester and KaiR0N-.
