s1mple and flamie to stay in Natus Vincere
News broke yesterday of a potential shakeup involving the duo of Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Egor "flamie" Vasilyev linking up with the SK trio of Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga and Marcelo "coldzera" David. Epitácio "TACO" de Melo tweeting his departure from the side later in the day only added fuel to this fire.
However, a tweet from the Natus Vincere CEO today has now claimed that the pair will continue wearing the famed yellow jerseys.
HLTV reported yesterday that talks had reached a barrier in the price of flamie's buyout. The two players are under team control until late 2019. On the SK side of things, those contracts are reportedly set to expire sometime in the summer.
For now, Natus Vincere will seemingly move forward with their current roster of:
- Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev
- Egor "flamie" Vasilyev
- Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev
- Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko
- Denis "electronic" Sharipov
- Mikhaylo "Kane" Blagin (Coach)
