NAVI Announces Roster Update: Justinas “jL” Lekavicius Steps Away from CS2 Lineup

NAVIhas officially confirmed a significant change to its Counter-Strike 2 lineup, as Lithuanian player Justinas “jL” Lekavicius takes a temporary break from professional play. The organization announced that jL will be moved to inactive status while he focuses on his personal well-being.

According to NAVI representatives, the decision came from jL himself during internal discussions about potential roster changes. He voluntarily requested time away to prioritize his health and mental balance.

“jL has been one of the most charismatic and devoted players to ever wear the NAVI jersey,” the club noted in its statement. “Open-hearted, emotionally expressive, and a constant source of positivity for those around him — his presence will surely be missed. We’re thankful for everything we've accomplished together and fully support Justinas in taking this time to recharge and return stronger.”

NAVI CS2 Roster for the Upcoming Season

With jL stepping back, NAVI’s refreshed CS2 roster now looks like this:

• Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi
• Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen
• Mihai “iM” Ivan
• Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov
• Drin “Makazze” Shakiri

Coach: Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi

The organization has not yet announced whether a permanent fifth player will be added or if the current roster will remain for the upcoming events. Fans will be watching closely to see how this transition impacts NAVI's performance in the next competitive season.
