Analyst Thorin reports that Natus Vincere attempted to bring back jL during the summer transfer window. The player reportedly declined the offer from the Ukrainian organization.

“I also heard rumors that during this off-season break they might have offered jL a return, but he decided not to do it,” Thorin said.

jL joined Team Vitality as a stand-in, which likely influenced his decision. Additionally, two former NAVI Junior players turned down offers from Natus Vincere during the same offseason period.
