It has been announced that Na’Vi are making some Dota 2 roster changes heading into the AniMajor. Here is the announcement:
Na’Vi Dota 2 roster changes – Who did they sign?
23-year-old Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko started his Dota 2 career back in 2014 with Ursastroithram. Just recently he was a part of the Virtus.Pro lineup, as well as the AS Monaco Gambit Squad. However now he has his eyes set on winning some trophies with the Russian Na’Vi lineup.
On the other hand Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev kicked it all off in 2014 as well. Ironically, he was part of Natus Vincere for a short period between early 2015 and later that year. He then left to play for Vega Squadron, and returned to Na’Vi in 2017. Throughout the next 2 years, he went from inactive to starting positions multiple times. Afterwards, he left to play for other teams, but now he has returned to Na’Vi.
This is how the new Na’Vi lineup looks like:
Players:
- Alik “V-Tune” Vorobey
- Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko
- Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev
- Vladimir “RodjER” Nikogosyan
- Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev
Coach:
- Andrey “Mag” Chipenko
Manager:
- Sergey “AnahRoniX” Bikovskiy
What will happen to the other players?
This roster change means that Andrii “ALWAYSWANNAFLY” Bondarenko and Bogdan “Iceberg” Vasilenko will depart the team. As of right now we do not know what their future plans are, but we’re sure to get an update some time soon.
Na’Vi COO, Aleksey “xaoc” Kucherov said this about the changes:
“In Dota, the working atmosphere within the team plays an important role. Despite the replacement just before the start of this season and numerous attempts to keep the squad together, we were unable to show consistently good results. Discussions with the guys led to the conclusion that the squad in its current form won’t continue playing together and, therefore, changes are inevitable. We would like to thank Bogdan and Andrey for their dedication, hard work and positive emotions.”
