NAVI assembled a youth Dota 2 roster

Natus Vincere announced that they have assembled their first Dota 2 academy. The roster consisted of players aged 15-17. According to NAVI representatives, each of the esports players is in the top 300 best players in the world.

The selection lasted for three months, and Ivan 'Artstyle' Antonov, who won the first The International, was responsible for the search for players. He plays the role of coach of the squad. The youth roster was curated by the sports director of the club, Amiran 'ami' Rekhviashvili, who recently moved to the position of curator. Amiran is known for taking part in the creation of the NAVI Esports Camp and NAVI Junior project in CS:GO.

Amiran 'ami' Rekhviashvili comment:

NAVI Junior Dota 2 is our new project, directing the development of the youth scene of Ukraine and Northern Europe. Looking back at the successes of our CS:GO academy, we understand that it is in our power to win the worldly level of gravity loyal to the club, with which it will be easy to practice in the future.

I believe that our example is inherited by other top clubs, which will give a real boost to the development of the Dota 2 academic scene and improve the ecosystem of the discipline. Tse same those that we robbed at CS:GO.

Comment by Ivan 'Artstyle' Antonov, NAVI Junior Dota 2 Head Coach:

Dota 2's young gravis have always been well known, but no one wants to take their development seriously. Those who change generations on the stage should be dosed quickly, obviously for the skin.

Together, from NAVI, we figured out how important it is to take care of the future, and we decided to look for graves. Developing young talents and passing on your knowledge to them is my old dream. Radiy, what can I do to take part in the realization of a similar story.

Candidates were scoured for close to three months. The final roster had five graves 15–17 years, leather from the top 300 light rating. The stench can't wait to speak on the stage, but the stink is better to work everything mechanically. It suits me that the lads have no stable patterns and obsessions. They want to grow, develop their skills and develop new ideas. Cheer for NAVI Junior!
