Counter Strike: Global Offensive analyst Arseniy «ceh9» Trinozhenko recently spoke out about the future prospects of Egor «flamie» Vasiliev's career. The cyber athlete, who until recently was part of Natus Vincere's active roster, was dropped from the main roster in April. In the recent successful match against Gambit, Vasiliev's place was taken by a young player Valery «B1T» Vakhovsky. Previously, he was only replacing flamie on some maps, but has entered the asset on a permanent basis in the last month.
Ceh9 suggested that NAVI, in order to maintain a good relationship with the player and fans, will keep flamie in the lineup for the time being. It is possible that they will declare him as a sixth player at tournaments where possible. However, the analyst believes that the probability of Egor Vasilyev's successful performances in the near future is low, which means that he may soon be put up for transfer.
At the same time, ceh9 believes that it is unlikely that other CIS teams will be willing to pay large sums to acquire Vasilyev. The thing is that in Natus Vincere flamie plays in a position that he already knows well; he knows the tactics of the team and understands what other players expect from him. When moving to another team, he will have to re-build interactions with the rest of the team, and it is not certain that this will be successful.
