About the future of NAVI

NAVI / News / 18 March 2022 — 12:00

What about NAVI?

The war continues. Now every resident of Ukraine, including the NAVI employees, is  doing everything possible. They protect the cities as part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and territorial defenсe, provide assistance  in Ukraine as volunteers, or simply take care of loved ones.

NAVI is a Ukrainian club founded in 2009 in Kyiv. More than 90% of our employees are now in Ukraine and are not going to leave the country. We take people out of the most dangerous regions and help them find housing. On our cars, volunteers daily deliver humanitarian aid around Kyiv and the region, and all NAVI clothes are distributed to people who spend the second week in cold bomb shelters, to children in hospitals and orphanages.

NAVI as a club will soon restore its work in the format that is available under the given circumstances. We will start covering matches, posting videos and communicating on social media.

The return to the "normal" mode of operation does not mean that we will stop talking about the events in the country, pretending that everything is fine. Now more than ever it is important to speak up about what is happening here and support each other. Hopefully, in March we will launch several projects in support of the population of Ukraine. We hope for your understanding and support.

Our partners

GG.BET, Monster Energy, Logitech G, Bybit, Puma, Nissan, Anda Seat, CS.MONEY, Socios, DMarket, AMD and Philips OneBlade have supported us during this difficult period. Many have offered all possible assistance, including relocation, and continue to fulfil their obligations. We truly appreciate it and are greatful for your support!

We want to say special thanks to our tournament partners ESL and BLAST, as well as many European and American esports clubs for their position and supporting Ukraine.

From the start of the war, we broke off relations with Tinkoff Bank. We cannot work with brands that are oriented at the market of the aggressor country.

About the future of NAVI

Thanks to our partners, we will be able to keep each employee and all the club's rosters. However, in the future, NAVI will revise their personnel policy, so there may be changes in the teams.

In addition to esports rosters, we have another equally important team - the NAVI staff. These are more than 80 employees who almost always remain in the shadows. Now we stick together and help each other.

We believe that when the war is over, we will return to our office and together we shall continue to develop NAVI further on.
