Kirill «boom14» Mikhailov shared details about the negotiations with G2. During the stream, which also featured two famous Russian rappers, the cybersportsman said that the negotiations failed at an early stage because the parties failed to reach agreement on several points at once.
The discrepancies were related to the terms of cooperation, including the need to leave Russia. According to Boom14, playing for a European team, away from family and loved ones, would be very difficult. The player would prefer to stay in Russia, as he believes that working in isolation from his usual circle of contacts will lead to rapid burnout.
However, relocation was not the only issue on which there were disagreements with the G2management. Boob14noted that insufficient English also proved to be a source of problems. Also, G2representatives mentioned his «not-so-good reputation». Interestingly, the head of G2 Esports reacted to Boomb14's comments with bewilderment in his tweet, advising the «player to keep his cool».
Boom14has been without a team since Natus Vincere sent him to inactivation. He mentioned that he's ready to tackle the creation of a new lineup and has already thought about who to invite to it. In addition, an organization that wants to partner with him will have to buy out his contract with NAVI, which is still active.
