Natus Vincere finalize new CS2 Academy team

On Monday, November 10, Natus Vincere finalized their new Counter-Strike 2 academy roster with the signing of three new
players. Natus Vincere parted ways with their previous academy lineup in August, one month after it was put up for sale.

NAVI Junior found a new home under the Turkish esports organization, FUT Esports, and have since continued competing together.

While former NAVI Junior players have been competing under a new banner, Natus Vincere have been working on forming a new academy division, which came to life on Monday, with the signing of the final three pieces.

Joining Nazar “Kodak” Buchma and Danil “yoki” Istomin, who have been signed to NAVI Junior since October, are Romanian Mihai-Andrei “satsu” Dobrin, Finnish Rene Robin “-R3ZLOO” Rafael Wallenius, and Czech David “FAZERY” Procházka, formerly of Dark Tigers.

The new roster will be led coach, Michał “snatchie” Rudzkiy who started his coaching career in July 2024 with NAVI Youth.
“We’ve finally completed our roster, and I’m really proud of the team we’ve built. There’s a lot of hard work ahead of us,” said
snatchie.

I truly believe that with dedication and commitment we can achieve great results. My goal is to help every player grow to a level where they’ll be ready to represent the main NAVI roster in the future” The new NAVI Junior project consists mainly of unknown, young players, all of whom are 17 years old except for yoki and R3ZLOO, both 16.

Of the five players, FAZERY is the only member with previous experience at a professional level, having recorded four official matches with Dark Tigers.

During his stint with the Czech team, FAZERY has posted a 1.05 performance rating and placed second at Vodafone Talent
League Spring.

It is unclear when NAVI Junior will debut their new lineup, as they have not confirmed tournaments lined up in the coming
weeks. However, with many events lined up until the end of the year, NAVI’s academy roster will have plenty of opportunities to step into the arena and show their worth.
