Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy, NAVI CS:GO's coach gave interview to HLTV portal to talk about the potential changes in the lineup and the expectations from the upcoming competitive 2023. 

First, B1ad3 spoke about Andrey "npl" Kukharsky, revealing that actually the team sacrificed some better players in the starting lineup to open up space for him. Now npl has all the freedom to show himself in some roles, so that the org can finally understand his  capabilities against top-tier teams. The same approach though wasn't there, when NAVI were testing out Victor "Sdy" Orudzhev. 

Next, B1ad3 shared his opinion on the latest CS:GO update. He told that if the update came earlier in the year, the situation on the global rankings and competitions could be totally different from how it is now.

Finally, talking about the newest map in the pool, Anubis, B1ad3 said that it only needs a couple of corrections. 

I think Anubis is a pretty easy map, it's pretty easy to understand how to approach it. The only thing I'm afraid is that everyone will understand that and it'll be hard to play it. I hope it won't be so fast and we'll have some advantage. But we're going to need time, we just had a five-day bootcamp and we couldn't spend all of our time on it because we were focusing on npl. I think we understand the map and what's going on, but we need more time to shape up everything.
