Navi denies rumors of leaving VALORANT

Natus Vincere has denied rumors that the organization is planning to withdraw from VALORANT.

Navi Head of Esports Amiran "ami" Rekhviashvili responded publicly after reports suggested that the organization could close its VALORANT division following the 2026 season.

"Guys, we are not going anywhere," Rekhviashvili said. "We will continue to support the VALORANT ecosystem regardless of whether we are partners or not."

Future structure remains unclear

The clarification comes after a disappointing end to Navi 's VCT 2026 campaign.

Navi lost its final two series against Joblife and Team Heretics , both by 1:2 scores, and failed to advance beyond the VCT EMEA Stage 2 Play-In.

Several members of the roster have since been linked with possible departures or allowed to explore offers.

Rekhviashvili did not reveal whether Navi expects to retain VCT partnership status for 2027 or what form the organization's VALORANT project will take next season.

However, his statement confirms that the organization does not currently intend to leave the game entirely.
