Natus Vincere, the Ukrainian esports powerhouse better known as NAVI, has confirmed that Justinas “jL” Lekavicius is officially a free agent following the expiration of his contract in early July 2025. The 26-year-old Lithuanian rifler, who earned MVP honors at one of Counter-Strike’s biggest events, is now free to negotiate with any organization he chooses.

jL spent part of 2025 on loan to MOUZ before ultimately being benched by NAVI, a sequence that suggests the relationship had run its course well before the paperwork expired.

From Major MVP to the open market

jL joined NAVI in June 2023 and wasted very little time proving his value. His tenure coincided with one of the most decorated stretches in the organization’s already storied history.

The crown jewel was the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where jL was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.
