Navi and Vitality showcase new rosters in GG.bet showmatch

NAVI and Team Vitality, partnered with sportsbook GG.bet, have organized a CS:GO show match to showcase their updated rosters. The match will take place on July 8th at 18:00 CET and will be broadcasted live on NAVI’s official Twitch channel.

There is no prize money on the line, but ahead of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups tournament both will want to test their rosters and gain the bragging rights that will come with a win.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a GG.BET event without a plethora of betting markets available. So GG.bet have set up a range of markets covering your typical match winner markets, as well as a number of exotics.

I’m quite excited by the range of markets available, and with it being a show match with no prize money on the line, I think we’re likely to see some off-meta plays and random tactics being thrown in. There is even a market for a Zeus X27 kill on the first map at 9.18 at time of writing, which I have a feeling the players will be competing for.

As of now, Natus Vincere has not officially announced any official roster changes. However, according to sources, there are plans to part ways with players Denis “electronic” Sharipov, Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy, and Andrey “npl” Khitrykh. Their positions in the team will be filled by Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, Ivan “iM” Mikhaylov, and Justinas “jL” Lekavicius.

Team Vitality have already announced the changes to their CS:GO roster. Shahar “flameZ” Shushan has joined the team, replacing Peter “Dupreeh” Rasmussen.

With the NAVI roster having the potential of seeing 3 new faces, there will be more potential of holes in communication whilst they get used to playing together. If you do place a bet on the match, drop us a tweet as we’re excited for this one!
