Natus Vincere explored the possibility of buying back m0NESY in 2022. The young sniper previously competed for Natus Vincere Junior from January 2020 to January 2022 before joining G2 and later moving to Team Falcons in April 2025.

According to former analyst Pradiggg, star player s1mple agreed to transition into a rifler role to make room for the incoming sniper.

“In 2022, NAVI seriously considered the possibility of buying back m0NESY, and s1mple was even ready to switch to a rifler role for this. But changing the country flag for the roster became the main stumbling block,” Pradiggg said.

Ultimately, the roster move collapsed due to complications surrounding the team’s country flag.
