Petr1k can become a NAVI coach?

Alexander 'petr1k' Petrik answered Natus Vincere's Twitter question about what they should do in 2022. Alexander said that for a complete set they only lack a female CS: GO roster. General Director Evgeny Zolotarev turned to Petrik and expressed his consent, after which COO Alexey 'xaoc' Kucherov asked if Alexander wanted to become the coach of this squad.

The dialogue itself is most likely a joke, but it is possible that such a turn of events can happen, as indicated by several interesting facts:

• ESL recently announced a series of women's CS: GO championships with a total prize pool of half a million dollars, and Natus Vincere is in partnership with a tournament operator.
• Alexander Petrik started his career as a CS: GO analyst 5 years ago and the experience gained will obviously not be superfluous in coaching the female roster
• The third reason for such reflections is the long-standing acquaintance and cooperation of Petrik and Kucherov. The analyst and the chief operating officer of NAVI previously worked together in the analytics studio and even hosted the program “2.5 analytics”
• NAVI never ceases to expand its multi-gaming experience. In 2021, they managed to enter seven new esports disciplines: League of Legends: Wild Rift, Rocket League, Brawl Stars, Free Fire, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, Halo Infinite and Valorant. If “Born to Win” is included even in mobile disciplines, why shouldn't they look in the direction of CS: GO, which is familiar to themselves, but from a different angle?

For the above reasons, the invitation from Natus Vincere can be viewed not only in an ironic vein.
