Now, nearly two weeks later, the Ukrainian organization decided to part ways with two of their players. Idan “MagicaL” Vardanian and Vitaliy “SO bad” Oshmankevich, who were both part of the team for some time now. Nevertheless, Na`Vi really needed some sort of change in order to improve their performance, which is why these two players won’t be a part of the organization anymore.
Instead, TI1 champions decided to acquire two young CIS talents. The first of them is Nikita “Young G” Bochko, who will take over the mid lane. Despite being young, this player already has a lot of experience in the pro scene. In fact, he most recently played for Winstrike, which is another promising CIS squad. Young G will replace MagicaL, who was a part of the Ukrainian organization for nearly two years. During that time, he took part in various events, including TI 9.
Na`Vi’s coach Andrey “Mag” Chipenko said that the organization needed a lot of time until they found the right players. According to him, Youn G is “a strong performer who wants to become the best player in second place. Nikita has enormous potential, which we will try to reveal in the team”.
In addition to him, the second player who joined Na`Vi’s lineup is Alexander “Immersion” Hmelevskoy. The ex-Gambit player will take the role of so bad as a position four support.
As you might remember, Immersion used to be a vital part of Gambit last year. However, due to several conflicts, he was inactive and didn’t really play for the team. In fact, his most recent performance was with Team Spirit. There, he took part in several events. “Immersion is a true professional with a huge pool of heroes and an excellent understanding of the game as a whole”, said Mag.
Here is the Natus`Vincere roster right now:
- Vladislav “Crystalize” Kristanek
- Nikita “Young G” Bochko
- Pavel “9pasha” Khvastunov
- Alexander “Immersion” Khmelevskaya
- Ilyas “Illias” Ganeev
