CS:GO rifler Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev made waves last year when he stood in for NAVI. However, his stint was turbulent to say the least both on and off the server. While his performances were far from abysmal, several moments of frustration between him and his teammates were caught on camera. With NAVI failing to close out the year with any wins, a roster change needed to be made. Now, sdy has found a new squad in Monte.
