S1mple, NAVI to miss one of the final CS:GO tournaments
S1mple and the rest of NAVI are going to sit out of the BLAST Premier Spring Final in June, one of the final CS:GO events before the switch to Counter-Strike 2, due to visa issues, the tournament organizer announced on May 24.
NAVI had secured their spot in the $425,000 BLAST Premier Spring Final after their fourth to sixth placing at the Spring Groups in January, during which they defeated Complexity in one of the single-elimination gauntlets. Due to NAVI’s withdrawal from the final, Complexity will be the one taking their spot, in accordance with BLAST’s rule 7.1.3.2.2 of the 2023 rulebook.
