According to the statistics published by HLTV portal, almost all of Natus Vincere's stats improved after Kirill «boombl4» Mikhailov's place was taken by Viktor «sdy» Orudzhev. Although the team has yet to announce whether the player will join the team on a permanent basis, he has performed well in the last two tournaments.
Since sdy joined Natus Vincere, the team has been 3% more likely (58% of the time) to win a round, more likely (53% of the time) to be the first to kill an opposing player in a round, more successful in both outnumbered and outnumbered play, and more effective with light grenades. The only stat that has gotten lower – damage from regular grenades. In addition, the number of rounds in which the team made multikills remained unchanged.
Sdy joined Natus Vincere in June and has already managed to participate in two tournaments. At BLAST Premier Spring Final the Ukrainian team won the grand final, and at IEM Cologne 2022 took second place, losing to FaZe. The next significant performance the team will face is – the BLAST Premier Fall 2022 group stage, which begins Aug. 19. Perhaps by this time it will be known about NAVI's further plans for cooperation with sdy.
