О команде

Natus Vincere (Na’Vi) — украинская команда по CS:GO, сильнейшая в СНГ и пятая в мировом рейтинге команд. Состоит из 2 российских игроков, 2 украинских игроков и игрока из Словакии. Образована в 2009 году, тогда состав команды состоял из таких игроков как Даниил «Zeus» Тесленко, Иоанн «Edward» Сухарев, Арсений «Ceh9» Триноженко, Сергей «starix» Ищук и Егор «markeloff» Маркелов. Этот состав установил мировой рекорд по Counter-Strike, выиграв 3 самых крупных чемпионата из 3 в 2010 году. С этого состава в наше время остались только двое: Даниил «Zeus» Тесленко (который и сейчас является капитаном команды) и Иоанн «Edward» Сухарев. Традиционно игроки Natus Vincere одеты в чёрно-жёлтую форму с логотипом команды.

История названия

Почему команда называется именно Na’Vi? Идея пришла спонтанно: игроки команды, так и не придумав названия, решили отдохнуть и посетить кинотеатр, где посмотрели фильм «Аватар». По сюжету фильма, Navi — язык на планете Пандора. Такое название понравилось ребятам, поэтому они расшифровали его и получилось Natus Vincere (с лат. «Рождённые побеждать»).

Игроки

Егор Васильев, ник «flamie» (стрелок). Российский профессиональный игрок команды NAVI по CS:GO. Самый молодой в коллективе — 18 лет, но несмотря на это, точность Егора невероятна. Некоторые игроки считали, что flamie использует читы, но это слухи. Играет в роли стрелка. Ранее выступал за такие коллективы, как HellRaisers, dAt Team и USSR. Количество часов в CS:GO ~3.100 часов.

Даниил Тесленко, ник «Zeus» (капитан). Украинский профессиональный игрок команды Natus Vincere по CS:GO. Играет в роли капитана с даты основания команды и по сей день. Благодаря огромной проделанной работе и трудолюбию, добился успеха со своей командой как в CS 1.6 (выиграв 3 чемпионата мира из 3), так и в CS:GO. Его тактика — медленная и непредсказуемая игра, застающая врасплох даже чемпионов мира. Даниил всегда имеет большое количество вариантов разыгровок раундов, поэтому его действия сложно прочитать.

Иоанн Сухарев, ник «Edward» (стрелок). Украинский профессиональный игрок команды NAVI по CS:GO. Вместе с Zeus являются самыми старыми игроками в команде — играют в ней с момента основания и по сей день. За свою крутую игру на пистолетах Иоанн получил прозвище «Пистолетный король». Играет в роли стрелка. Стабильный и очень опытный игрок, знает как правильно действовать в самых напряжённых игровых ситуациях.

Денис Костин, ник «seized» (стрелок). Российский профессиональный игрок команды Natus Vincere по CS:GO. Играет в Na’Vi с 2013 года и уже успел набраться большого опыта. Стабильный и точный стрелок. Виртуозно контролирует автоматную очередь: с одной очереди способен убить троих оппонентов. Также Денис пробывал себя в роли капитана команды, но позже снова передал полномочия правления Zeus’у, сконцентрировавшись на собственной игре.

Ладислав Ковач, ник «Guardian» (снайпер). Словацкий профессиональный игрок команды NAVI по CS:GO. Непревзойдённый снайпер, который редко промахивается. По многим рейтингам Ладислав занимает 1 место среди всех снайперов в CS:GO. Хладнокровен и точен, имеет все качества, присущие настоящему снайперу.

Игроки, которые покинули команду

Антон Колесников, ник «kibaken«, покинул команду.

Егор Маркелов, ник «markeloff», перешёл в другую команду.

Арсений Триноженко, ник «ceh9», покинул команду и стал комментатором игр.

Сергей Ищук, ник «starix«, покинул команду и стал её тренером.

History[edit]

2009: Formation[edit]

In October 2009, Murat «Arbalet» Zhumashevich declared the creation of an esports organization during the Intel Extreme Masters tournament being held in Dubai. He was to provide the finances required to run the organization and also provide a place for players to train in, while starix, a Counter-Strike professional player, took up the duty of creating a lineup for the organization. On 17 December 2009, Natus Vincere, at the time with the name of Arbalet UA, was formed, based around their Counter-Strike team, which consisted of players Ivan «Edward» Sukharev, Yegor «markeloff» Markelov, Sergey «starix» Ischuk, Arsenij «ceh9» Trunozhenko and Danylo «Zeus» Teslenko, with ZeroGravity taking the position of manager. The abbreviation Na’Vi was inspired by the film Avatar, with its full form being decided by the fans through a competition.^[5]

2010: Multiple championships[edit]

After a poor performance at the Arbalet Cup CIS 2010 (4th place), Markeloff, the team’s top player, decided to skip the next big tournament, ASUS Winter 2010, so that the team could prepare for the Arbalet Cup and the Ukrainian qualifications for the ESWC.^[6]^[7] In the middle of May 2010, Na’Vi took 2nd place in the prestigious Arbalet Cup Europe 2010 in Stockholm, losing to Fnatic in the finals and earning $10,000 in prize money.^[8] Na’Vi finally gained victory at ESWC Ukraine.^[9]

In the final part of the ESWC, the team hit the highest seeding, along with SK Gaming, Fnatic, and mTw.dk.^[10] On 4 July 2010, Natus Vincere achieved the highest accolade in the history of Ukrainian e-Sports, winning the ESWC (which previously could not be reached by any CIS team), defeating SK Gaming in the finals: 16:5 (de_train) and 16:4 (de_inferno).^[11] During the tournament Na’Vi passed through the group stage thanks to fortune, but outplayed Fnatic and mTw.dk in the playoffs.^[12]

After being victorious in the world championship, Natus Vincere announced their participation in 2 more tournaments—Arbalet Cup Dallas and GameGune 2010 (Bilbao).^[13] On 18 July 2010, Na’Vi won Arbalet Cup Dallas beating Mousesports in the final match: 19:15 (de_dust2), 16:12 (de_inferno). After receiving $25,000, Na’Vi took the first place in quantity of prize money earned by European teams that year.^[14] Na’Vi took 3rd place in GameGune 2010 and Intel Extreme Masters Shanghai.^[15]^[16]

The next tournament for Na’Vi was ASUS Summer 2010, to which the team received a direct invitation. This tournament became first in the ASUS Open series, which was held at Kyiv gaming center «Kyiv CyberSport Arena». In the semi-finals Na’Vi lost to Kazakh team k23 and as a result took the 3rd place.

On 4 October 2010 Natus Vincere became the World Cyber Games world champions by defeating Danish team mTw.dk in the finals.^[18] This victory made Na’Vi the first team in the world which had managed to hold the three most prestigious championship titles at once (IEM, ESWC, WCG). At the end of October 2010, ESL TV commentator Bakr «KinGSaicx» Fadl proclaimed that SK Gaming was going to invite the Ukrainian team to take place of its Swedish squad, but the manager of Natus Vincere declined this information.^[19]

In early November 2010 Natus Vincere took part in the World e-Sports Masters tournament (WEM 2010), which annually gathers the best teams from all over the world in the Chinese city of Hangzhou. Among the eight participants of the tournament, Na’Vi took 4th place as well as $7,500.^[20]

From the 25th to the 27 November 2010 in the Swedish city of Jönköping the largest LAN party in the world took place—DreamHack Winter 2010. To go to this tournament, Natus Vincere had to skip a major Russian tournament, ASUS Autumn 2010, since it was coinciding with DreamHack’s dates. After finishing the group stage Na’Vi consistently outplayed teams puta, Fnatic, Frag Executors, and mTw.dk in the finals, winning the tournament.^[21] During the four playoff matches the Ukrainians lost only one time to Fnatic on the new map—de_mirage.^[22]^[23] «Starix» (Serhiy Ischuk) received the tournament’s MVP award.

After winning DreamHack Winter 2010, the team established a new record: winning $220,000 in one year.^[24] The previous record belonged to Swedish team Fnatic, who earned $189,000 in 2009 (before that, the record was held by Swedish team SK Gaming with earnings of $183,000 in 2003).^[25]

In 2010, popular website HLTV.org had made rankings for the 20 best Counter-Strike players. Yegor «markeloff» Markelov was 1st place, Sergey «Starix» Ischuk 4th, Ioann «Edward» Sukharev 5th, and the captain of Na’Vi, Daniil «Zeus» Teslenko had 19th place, as well as «The best captain of the year».^[26]^[27]

They defeated Polish team Frag Executors in the finals: 16:12 (de_train) and 16:10 (de_dust2).^[28] $4,550 of the prize money was deducted (13% of the total) as a penalty for breaking the rules.^[29]

Na’Vi reached the finals of DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015 where they were beat 0–2 by Team EnVyUs. Na’Vi won Intel Extreme Masters Season X — San Jose after beating Team SoloMid (Now Astralis) in the grand finals 2–0.^{[citation needed]}

2021[edit]

On 12 September, Na’Vi became the 3rd team ever to complete the Intel Grand Slam after winning IEM Katowice 2020, IEM Cologne 2021, DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 and ESL Pro League Season 14. On 7 November they won their first CS:GO Major, PGL Stockholm 2021, defeating G2 Esports 2–0. Team Na’Vi placed 1st at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2021 and BLAST Premier World Final 2021.^[46] Na’Vi also cooperated with Hator, producer of gamers oriented computer equipment, in coorganizing esport events in 22 cities of Ukraine.^[47]

2022[edit]

They proceeded to qualify for the Blast Spring Final^[48] and made it to the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2022, being favored to win the event. On 1 March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Natus Vincere cut ties with their holding company, Russian esports conglomerate ESForce, saying that the company «publicly denies the horror that is now happening in Ukraine.»^[49]^[50] Na’Vi CEO Yevhen Zolotarov stated his hope «that we are going to keep this roster and that the Russia-based players are going to relocate.»^[51]

After qualifying to the Legends stage for the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 through the Europe Regional Major Rankings^[52] they proceeded to go 3–0 in that stage, beating G2, BIG, and NIP.^[53] They defeated Heroic 2–1 in the quarterfinals and ENCE 2–0 in the semifinals for their fifth major finals appearance. FaZe Clan won 2–0 for their first major victory.^[54]

Na’Vi COO Oleksii «xaoc» Kucherov said that the other two Russian players, electronic and Perfecto, were relocating.^[56]

Viktor «⁠sdy⁠» Orudzhev was brought in as a replacement for Boombl4 for Blast Premier Spring Final in Lisbon, and electronic became IGL.^[57] His continued play for Na’Vi «depends on his performance in the upcoming tournament». Na’Vi went on to win the event,^[58] beating Team Vitality in a dominant 2–0 in the final.^[59]^[60] Following this success, sdy continued being the fifth player for IEM Cologne.^[61]

While FaZe and Na’Vi had been the only teams occupying the HLTV #1 spot during the 2022 season, IEM Cologne 2022 had many viable contenders.^[62]^[63] Many teams had a so-called «stand-in buff» during 2022, where many teams had success after introducing a stand-in or new player. Whether or not Na’Vi could continue after their success with their new player and IGL was uncertain. FaZe had dipped in form after the Antwerp Major, ENCE has been a playoff contender but had not lifted trophies, Cloud9 had won IEM Dallas and BIG had won Roobet Cup.

The quarter-finals were filled with unexpected contenders but the semifinal contenders were occupied by the top 2 teams, Faze and Na’Vi. Both teams won 2–0 in the semifinals to set up the grand final to «decide who the number one team is».^[64] In a very close 2–3 finish, FaZe came out on top.^[65]^[66]^[67]

The second half of 2022 started with Blast Premier Fall Groups 2022. Navi Junior AWPer headtr1ck stood in for s1mple for the group stage, who could not be in Copenhagen for personal reasons.^[68] They lost the opening game to Complexity but won successfully went through the lower bracket to win their group.^[69] They then qualified for the Blast Fall Final with a 2–0 victory over Vitality.

Dota division[edit]

History[edit]

In October 2010, the creation of a Defence of the Ancients (DotA) squad was announced, which included the best Ukrainian players. Initially the team was composed of Aleksandr «XBOCT» Dashkevych, Artur «Goblak» Kostenko, Bogdan «Axypa» Boychuk, Oleksandr «Deff» Stepaniuc, and Andriy «Mag~» Chipenko.^{[citation needed]} However, in December 2010, Mag~ and Deff- left the team. The empty slots on the team were filled by Ukrainian players from DTS.Chatrix—Danil «Dendi» Ishutin, and Ivan «Artstyle» Antonov, who became the captain of this new squad.^{[citation needed]}

A roster change on 17 June 2011 resulted in the replacements of Goblak and Axypa with Clement «Puppey» Ivanov and Dmitriy «LighTofHeaveN» Kupriyanov.^{[citation needed]} In August 2011, Na’Vi was invited to The International, the first in a series of annual Dota 2 tournaments. The event featured 16 of the top teams from all over the world with an impressive amount of prize money—$1,600,000. Na’Vi was the ultimate winner, beating Chinese team EHOME 3–1 in the grand finals and winning a cash prize of $1,000,000.^{[citation needed]}

On 13 October 2011, shortly after their victory, Artstyle left the team. The captain position was taken up by Puppey, and Sergey «ARS-ART» Revin, from Russian team Moscow Five, took the fifth slot on the roster.^{[citation needed]}

2012 was a very successful season for Na’Vi as they won multiple tournaments throughout the year, including four consecutive seasons of Star Ladder’s Star Series, the premier tournament for the CIS region.^{[citation needed]}

At The International 2012, Na’Vi attempted to defend their title where they ultimately placed 2nd, losing to the Chinese team Invictus Gaming 1–3 in the grand finals.^{[citation needed]}

At the end of February 2013, ARS-ART was replaced by Gleb «Funn1k» Lipatnikov from Russian squad Team Empire. Kuro «KuroKy» Salehi Takhasomi from Mousesports also joined the team, while LighTofHeaveN went inactive. In April 2013, after his contract expired, LighTofHeaveN officially left for Team Empire. In June 2013, Na’Vi announced an all female squad.^{[citation needed]}

The first half of 2013 was difficult for Na’Vi as they struggled to gain a footing in major tournaments with their new lineup. Their first major tournament win was against RoX.KIS at the first season of the ESL Major Series One in April. In July, Na’Vi competed against 9 of the best Eastern teams at the Alienware Cup. They defeated LGD Gaming.cn 3–2 in the grand finals, and became one of the few Western teams to win a major Chinese tournament.^{[citation needed]}

In August 2013, Na’Vi once again reached the Grand Finals of The International 2013, but they lost 2–3 in a very close fifth game against the Swedish team Alliance.^{[citation needed]}

In July 2014, Na’Vi was knocked out in the lower bracket knockout phase of The International by Cloud9, placing at 7/8th place and earning $519,208. This would be the first time Na’Vi would not make it to the Grand Finals of The International. Many fans attributed this to a lack of adaptation and even went as far to mark it as an end of an era. Soon after this, Kuro «KuroKy» Salehi Takhasomi and Clement «Puppey» Ivanov left the team.^{[citation needed]}

On 13 February 2015, Gleb «Funn1k» Lipatnikov retired from the Na’Vi Dota 2 team.^[70]

On 4 March 2015, DkPhobos joined Na’Vi, replacing Funn1k.^{[citation needed]}

On 9 March 2015, DkPhobos left Na’Vi to rejoin ASUS.Polar.^{[citation needed]}

On 25 March 2015, Goblak left Na’Vi with SoNNeikO taking his spot.^{[citation needed]}

On 5 April 2015, Na’Vi announced the return of Funn1k and ArtStyle with VANSKOR moving to reserve after battling a long-term illness.^{[citation needed]}

On 27 August 2015, Na’Vi announced the departure of captain Ivan «Artstyle» Antonov following a disappointing finish at The International 2015.^[71]

On 2 September 2015, Artstyle returned, but as a substitute. The main roster spot was filled by acquiring M.Batbileg «Ra», and the second substitute spot was filled by Ilnur «Kudes» Khafizov.^[72]

On 16 October 2015, Na`Vi announced the disband of their main roster.^[73]

On 19 October 2015, Na`Vi posted on their website that Danil «Dendi» Ishutin and Akbar «SoNNeikO» Butaev will pick out the remaining 3 players for a new Na`Vi roster.^[74]

On 23 February 2016, Na’Vi’s new team was finalized with the team moving forward in the Dota Pit tournament after a disappointing defeat in the final qualifying round for ESL Manila.^{[citation needed]}

On 3 September 2018, Danil «Dendi» Ishutin noted that he was looking for a new team and players for that team, signaling his departure as team captain of Na’Vi’s DOTA 2 team.^[75]

On 25 March 2021, Na’Vi’s DOTA 2 team decided to withdraw from the One Esports’ Singapore Major tournament due to COVID-19.^[76]

On 2 September 2021, Na’Vi announced a new roster managed and coached by ArtStyle. It includes Alexey «Solo» Berezin, Ilya «ALOHADANCE» Korobkin and Victor «GeneRaL» Nigrini. Vladimir «No[o]ne» Minenko and Alik «V-Tune» Vorobei retained their places in the team.
