NAVI Reportedly Appoints TheRock7 as New League of Legends Head Coach

According to insider outlet Sheep Esports, NAVI has reached an agreement with Greek coach Vasilis “TheRock7” Voltis of Karmine Corp Blue, who is set to become the new head coach of the organization’s Born to WinLeague of Legends roster.

Who Is TheRock7?

TheRock7 has built a strong reputation across Europe’s tier-2 and tier-3 scenes, guiding several competitive squads over the years. His coaching career includes Greek sides Team Phantasma and WeLoveGaming, the Balkan organization Partizan Esports, and most recently, Karmine Corp Blue.

Career Highlights

Throughout his career, TheRock7 has delivered consistent results on the regional stage, earning multiple accolades:

• Back-to-back Greek League titles in 2022 and 2023
• LFL 2025 Winter Championship in France
• Eight grand final appearances in European tier-2 competitions (including 4 in Greece, 2 in France, 1 in the Balkans, and 1 at the European Pro League S1)
• Two semifinal finishes at the EMEA Masters 2025

Interestingly, among his current players at Karmine Corp Blue is Ukrainian talent Volodymyr “Maynter” Sorokin, who has been making a name for himself in the competitive scene.

Transition at NAVI

Sheep Esports reports that TheRock7 will officially step into his new role with NAVI at the start of the 2026 season. His appointment comes as the team looks to rebuild and regain momentum after a disappointing run in the LEC Summer Split.

Former head coach Simon “fredy122” Payne has already been informed that he will not continue with NAVI, with the decision largely tied to the team’s underwhelming recent results.
