Alexiiik Departs Natus Vincere, Seeks New Opportunities

Alex "alexiiik" Hawlasek has announced his departure from Natus Vincere and is now on the lookout for a new team. In his statement, the Czech Duelist emphasized that he is open to relocating to any region for the right opportunity.

From Zero Tenacity to NAVI

NAVI signed alexiiik in June 2025, bringing him in from Zero Tenacity after his strong performances in Challengers NORTH//EAST. At that time, Natus Vincere was recovering from a modest Stage 1, finishing in the top six of VCT EMEA after a lower bracket loss to Team Liquid.

Heading into Stage 2 with only three Championship points, the team needed a top-two finish to qualify for Champions Paris. NAVI made an impressive lower bracket run, defeating Team Vitality and Team Heretics, but their campaign ended at the hands of GIANTX, who went on to reach the grand finals and secure a Champions spot. NAVI finished the stage in fourth place, showing clear improvement.

The First Departure Since ANGE1’s Retirement

Alexiiik becomes the first player to officially leave NAVI following Kyrylo "ANGE1" Karasov’s retirement from professional play. Before joining Zero Tenacity — where he helped the team secure second place in Challengers NORTH//EAST — alexiiik had already built an impressive resume, winning back-to-back splits in Challengers East with GoNext Esports.
