• LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

"залишись, або вιдпусти I ми станемо ншими"

STAY OR LET ME GO, AND WE'LL

BECOME DIFFERENT.

THIS LINE WAS FROM A UKRAINIAN SONG BY OKOLYTSIA AND ELECTROBIRDS, "Станемо Iншими (STANEMO INSHYMY)." ORIGINALLY A SAD SONG, THE NARRATOR WAS STRUCK WITH THE REALIZATION THAT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY STAY OR LET GO-THINGS WILL NOT BE THE SAME, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

OUR JOURNEY WITH THE NAVI LOL TEAM IS ALMOST THE SAME, TOO. AS AN OLD ORG VENTURING INTO A NEW REALM, THINGS SEEM TO CHANGE RAPIDLY. FROM THE ROSTER TO COACHING STAFF TO PLAYSTYLE. FROM BEING LAST IN THE LEAGUE TO BEING ONE OF THE BEST, NAVI HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY CHANGING. AND THERE'S NO TIME FOR US TO SULK OVER THE LOSSES OR THE WHAT-IFS; WE FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE CHANGES AS WE CONTINUE THIS JOURNEY WITH OUR TEAM.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF MY COLLABORATORS WHO GAVE THEIR TALENT AND TIME FOR FREE TO MAKE THIS PROJECT POSSIBLE. TO SUSI AND VEGAS, WHO CO- HEADED THIS PROJECT WITH ME, AND TO SHALLOW-OUR UKRAINIAN TRANSLATOR-WHO SINGLE-HANDEDLY DID THE TRANSLATIONS.

ABOVE ALL, THANK YOU FOR READING THIS ZINE: A PROUD PRODUCT OF HUMAN CREATIVITY AND PASSION.
