Media: Falcons attempted to sign B1ad3 and b1t from NAVI

Falcons made an offer for NAVI's coach Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodenskiy and anchor Valeriy "b1t" Vakhovskiy at the beginning of 2026, according to Ukrainian Maincast caster Roman "Petrovich" Zhuravel.

The Saudi org was said to have offered "huge money" for the Ukrainian coach-player duo, but NAVI weren't going to let them walk. B1ad3 has served as NAVI's coach since 2019, with b1t joining the roster in January 2021.

NAVI has no intention of moving on from B1ad3 or b1t, as the org views those two as integral pieces in their CS project.

Petrovich went on to say that NAVI views B1ad3 as the best coach in the world and untouchable within the team, further illustrating the value the org places on the man behind the roster.

Falcons retained their roster to start the year, but moved on from IGL Damjan "kyxsan" Stoilkovski in favor of Finn "karrigan" Andersen in the run-up to the IEM Cologne Major.
