NAVI announces major roster changes after two years of setbacks

The organization is actively seeking new talent and inviting both players and coaches to join the team.

After their defeat at the 2023 World Championship, the Ukrainian team made minor roster changes, bringing in Ardis "ardiis" Svarenieks, who replaced Mehmet "cNed" İpek after his move to another organization. NAVI management decided to preserve the roster and focused on restructuring the coaching staff and club staff, but this also didn't yield the desired results.

In 2024, the team made minimal changes but lost head coach Erik "Erik" Sandgren, who had led the team since late 2022. He was replaced by Swedish coach Oliwer "LATEKS" Fahlander, previously an assistant coach.

Changes in staff and coaching were insufficient to improve the club's results. Early in the year, the team performed decently, securing 3rd place at VCT 2024: EMEA Kickoff, just missing out on the Masters. However, NAVI faced challenges at VCT 2024: EMEA Stage 1 and Stage 2, finishing in 6th and 5th places.

As a result, the team management decided on major changes, likely affecting the player roster. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the upcoming announcements.
