Natus Vincere star Aleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev has stated that there is still a lot to do before he can think about leaving the team.

The Ukrainian prodigy had been identified by the SK core of Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo, Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David and Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga as one of their key targets to strengthen the squad to replace outgoing duo Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo and Ricardo "⁠boltz⁠" Prass.

However, Natus Vincere CEO Yevhen Zolotarov put such rumours to bed earlier on Friday after tweeting both Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev and Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev will remain with the team.

s1mple has committed himself to Na`Vi

And in a post on his fan page on vk.com, s1mple shed more light on the issue as he explained that he feels he still has a lot to accomplish on Na`Vi, whom he joined in the summer of 2016.

"It is not the time to leave the team, with all the goals that we set," s1mple wrote. "My journey is not finished yet."

s1mple is currently tied to Na`Vi until the end of 2019 after agreeing to a two-year contract extension in December. Since his arrival, the team's biggest achievements include first-place finishes at ESL One New York 2016 and DreamHack Open Winter 2017, a second-place at SL i-League StarSeries Season 4 and a semi-final run at ELEAGUE Major Boston 2018.
