Victor “somedieyoung” Orudzhev provided exclusive insights into his transition to NAVI, detailing his adjustment process, evolving responsibilities within the squad, and comparative analysis of CS:GO versus Dota 2 esports economics. During his conversation with Ukrainian commentator Mikhailo “Olsior” Zvieriev, the player consistently highlighted NAVI’s methodological superiority in competitive approach, repeatedly crediting head coach Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi for implementing this advanced framework.
Transitioning to NAVI represents an entirely elevated tier of competitive Counter-Strike comprehension. Their systematic methodology operates at a sophistication level beyond any previous teams I’ve competed with. The adaptation process proved challenging initially, and continues requiring ongoing refinement. Managing numerous new tactical assignments presented significant hurdles, particularly maintaining synchronization with teammates during critical mid-to-late round scenarios. While learning various scripts and positional duties, some proved easier to retain than others. My primary struggle involved real-time mid-round calling, necessitating following established patterns while gradually developing personal contributions.
On his new roles
Positional assignments vary significantly across different maps. Certain locations require complete replacement of Kirill’s previous functions, while other positions implement more nuanced tactical modifications according to Andrii [B1ad3]’s strategic vision. Our coaching staff provides continuous guidance, determining optimal role distributions based on competitive requirements and individual player strengths.

On NAVI’s system
[How the club adapts players to this level so fast?] Their framework operates through exceptionally coordinated systematic integration. This comprehensive approach combines multiple performance dimensions: tactical execution, out-of-game preparation, psychological conditioning, and all elements constituting professional athletic development. The methodology functions seamlessly during match conditions, with all team members understanding and executing within its parameters.
While the system’s concepts remain fundamentally accessible, implementation presents ongoing development areas. NAVI’s approach maintains competitive superiority through integrated preparation. During our Spring Finals campaign, I observed numerous opponent teams displaying visible apprehension facing NAVI’s organizational reputation: their fundamental mechanics including aiming, elimination efficiency, and strategic execution visibly deteriorated under pressure.
[Why others can’t replicate this?] Natural ability provides essential foundation, but systematic dedication determines ultimate achievement. Our squad maintains rigorous training schedules, with B1ad3 demonstrating exceptional commitment to system refinement.

Would he like CS to have The International like in Dota 2?
The International represents Dota 2’s most enviable competitive spectacle. However, this singular focus creates ecosystem imbalance. Dota’s competitive calendar demonstrates inconsistent performance levels until its premier event. The seasonal structure lacks continuous excitement, operating differently from CS:GO’s model. I believe Counter-Strike maintains superior competitive consistency throughout its annual schedule.
Based on available information, compensation structures differ significantly between titles. Dota 2 professionals generate substantial earnings through tournament performances, particularly The International. Consequently, their baseline salaries typically remain lower than CS:GO counterparts. While unverified through direct experience, these compensation patterns represent common industry understanding.
How did he left Ukraine? With a sports visa?
Correct, the organization facilitated necessary documentation through major event invitations. Additional coordination occurred with tournament organizers regarding administrative requirements. I executed documentation confirming commitment to return to Ukraine by specified dates following competition completion. This documentation process repeats for each international tournament participation.
Currently competing for NAVI through temporary loan arrangement, sdy previously represented Team Spirit and MAD Lions. Organizational statements indicate future roster decisions will evaluate competitive performance, with his contributions already securing BLAST Spring Finals victory. NAVI previously confirmed Victor’s participation in IEM Cologne, commencing July 5th.
