Kristian Bilovar: «Without a handicap against NAVI, we would have had no chance at all»

On Tuesday, September 23, 2025, a unique event took place: Match of LeGGends: Derby on the Server, where NAVI and «Dynamo» played against each other in a unique format. The first match within the event was played by the «yellow-blacks» and «blue-whites» in a classic format on the Dust 2 map. In the end, the esports athletes — «Born to Win» — achieved victory. The virtual match was commented on by the central defender of the football club Kristian Bilovar.

It was a very tough game, but you still managed to win eight rounds; what are your emotions?

— Positive, of course. The very fact that we played against guys who have been doing this their whole lives, while for us it’s just a fun way to spend our free time. So, it was really cool, I enjoyed everything, and it’s just great that we got to play against them.

You had a certain advantage; in some rounds, you had more HP (hit points of a character — ed.). So can we say that this aspect gave you an advantage? Because this handicap allowed you to win more rounds.

— Of course. Under standard conditions, we would have had no chance at all. After all, they’ve been doing this their entire lives. But I want to emphasize again that the emotions are only positive.

You just played the Dust 2 map. It was heard that you would like to play on another map. Which map would you prefer instead of this one?

— It doesn’t matter. Anything but Dust 2. I’d like to play Inferno, perhaps. Something like that.

You also tried to kill with a knife, and even took out one player with Zeus (an electric shock stick — ed.). Do you have a favorite weapon?

— No, not really. Just want to say again, since this was more of a fun game (not competitive in nature — ed.), I wanted to do something fun, not just shoot with an M4 or AK-47. Rather, I wanted to create some amusing actions to bring smiles to the fans and to myself.

I also noticed that most players have different skins (the cosmetic appearance of weapons — ed.). Did you buy them, or did you perhaps get something by chance?

— No, these were given to me by friends from the skin sales site just for this game.
