According to a report from Flickshot, Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev and Egor "flamie" Vasilyev are in advanced talks to leave Na`Vi and join SK Gaming. 


The Flickshot report also states that the two will replace Epitácio "TACO" de Melo and Ricardo "boltz" Prass. They will join Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, Fernando "fer" Alvarenga, and Marcelo "coldzera" David.

SK Gaming and Na`Vi are two teams that have performed below expectations for the year. SK Gaming has not had a significant victory since the team's win at ESL Pro League Season 6 Finals. The team's latest outing was an embarrassing 17-22nd finish at the World Electronic Sports Games last week.


Na`Vi is showing similar struggles in getting wins for this year. The team has not won an event since DreamHack Winter Open in December and recently lost to GODSENT during the ECS Season 5 European Challenger Cup, blocking them competing in ECS Season 5.


S1mple and flamie both dropped out of WESG after the loss to GODSENT, expressing that they needed to take a break from playing.
