NAVI disband their main Dota 2 roster

Natus Vincere has confirmed they have disbanded their current Dota 2 roster, with PGL Wallachia Season 5 being their last journey together.

Natus Vincere has long been a name that piqued interest in the Dota 2 community. However, it has been quite some time since the main team of the organisation has shown any solid performance. With qualifiers for The International 2025 and the Esports World Cup 2025 ending in disappointment, NAVI has now confirmed that they have disbanded their roster.

NAVI’s main roster disbands

In a post on the NAVI website, the organisation confirmed that it would be disbanding its main roster. The post continues, stating that the team will not be let go just yet but will be playing one last tournament. With PGL Wallachia Season 5 starting in only a few days, the squad that participated in the recent qualifiers will remain intact. This, however, will be their final event under the NAVI banner.

The disband includes all players and the coach.

• Artem "Yuragi" Golubiev
• Philipp "Copy" Bühler
• Miroslav "BOOM" Bičan
• Matthew "Ari" Walker
• Oleh "kaori" Medvedok
• Milan "MiLAN" Kozomara (coach)

NAVI Junior gets a chance at glory

With the main roster leaving the organisation, the roster of NAVI Junior has been promoted to the main squad. Having done exceedingly well through both sets of qualifiers for TI 2025 and the EWC, NAVI Jr have proven their strength. The team will, from July 1st, fight under the NAVI banner as their main roster.

This will mean that both TI 2025 and the EWC will feature NAVI. The full roster for NAVI from July 1st will be:

• Taras "gotthejuice" Linnikov
• Artem "Niku" Bachkur
• Yurii "pma" Prots
• Bakyt "W_Zayac" Emilzhanov
• Stanislav "Riddys" Mitroshkyn
• Maxim "TheHeartlessKing" Fadeev (coach)

It will be interesting to see whether or not NAVI’s current roster will be able to show their worth before leaving the organisation. As free agents in a time between tournaments as we head into the EWC, the players will want to put their best foot forward. For NAVI Jr, this is a fantastic chance to take the organisation back to the top as they head into the two biggest Dota 2 tournaments of 2025.
