NAVI have parted ways with Byron "Blurr" Murray, the team announced on Aug. 31. They will now be looking for two new additions to replace both Blurr and Pedro "Thuunder" Muniz.
After first making a splash alongside Virtus.pro's Andrey "m1loN" Mironov in Season 4 of the CCS League, Blurr was crowned a champion of Italy in 2019 on the Mkers lineup. After a short time on Fierce Esports, he joined NAVI in Mar. 2020 on loan before joining them permanently in Aug. after a few months on MNM Gaming.
Over the last two years, Blurr has finished the EUL stages in fifth, first, third, eighth, eighth, and seventh, chronologically.
In Stage 2, Blurr was the lowest rated player on NAVI, but that came alongside the entire team's struggle to finish in the top four. In Stage 1 of the 2021 season, he was the second highest-rated player in the European League alongside Stéphane "Shaiiko" Lebleu despite plaing a secondary support role.
