Why was GeneraL Kicked Out of Na’Vi?

The online community, especially esports fans, have been shocked by Natus Vincere’s decision to kick out GeneraL. After a few days since the announcement of Ramzes’ recruitment that would replace GeneraL as offlaner, this issue heated up after Natus Vincere clarified the decision to remove GeneraL from their roster.

Many have wondered what really happened inside Natus Vincere before they decided to replace GeneraL with Ramzes. Through a video uploaded by Natus Vincere via his official YouTube channel, Na’Vi explained what really happened behind the release of GeneraL.

In the video, carry V-Tune, ALWAYSWANNAFLY, and trainer Mag revealed the reason that caused GeneraL to be expelled from Natus Vincere.

The first problem was the frequent internal conflicts in the team and poor performance in training matches. They said that GeneraL was often involved in bickering with support players, RodjER, which resulted in the internal atmosphere of the Natus Vincere team becoming unharmonious.

In addition, Natus Vincere’s poor performance is another reason why GeneraL was kicked out of the team structure. ALWAYSWANNAFLY specifically mentioned that scrimming that have been undertaken by Natus Vincere, from 40 match scrims during training, Natus Vincere lost 39 times. Even worse, ALWAYSWANNAFLY also said that GeneraL often threatened that he would leave the team if things didn’t get better.

Furthermore, Coach Mag also said that the replacement of Ramzes in the team was meant so that Natus Vincere could have a figure / leader in order to improve the team’s internal performance. Ramzes is considered by the team as a player who is able to lead and make decisions in matches.

This is clearly different from what was revealed by GeneraL in the story he uploaded. Seeing the discrepancies in the facts presented, not a few netizens responded to this cynically. Call it CaspeRRR, who said that Natus Vincere’s explanation was very logical to kick GeneraL and believed Ramzes was a good shotcaller.

There was also NS on his twitch who questioned why Natus Vincere only provided clarification after GeneraL expressed his opinion, considering that this should have been done from the start.

In response to this, the CEO of Natus Vincere, Yevhen Zolotarov, finally had to step in directly to reduce this problem. According to Yevhen, replacing GeneraL has nothing to do with his current level of play. He even said that GeneraL is one of the best offlaners in the region. The only reason why this could happen is because Natus Vincere wants to restore a strong and consistent roster ability so that a different approach is needed.

How about you? Who do you think is to blame in this drama?
