Meet NAVI Visa Academy coach

On July 19, we announced the launch of NAVI Visa Academy. NAVI and Visa have joined forces in a shared pursuit: to teach promising young players aged 14 to 17 elite-level skills and give them the opportunity to become professional esports players in the future. We want this project to open the path for new talents to reach the big stage and one day stand on par with the best.

Today, we are ready to introduce our NAVI Visa Academy coach: meet retired professional CS:GO player Michał «snatchie» Rudzki, who competed alongside Entropiq, Sprout, AGO esports, and other teams. Over the course of his career, he has earned more than $137,000 in prize money; his highest accomplishments include victories at ESL Meisterschaft: Autumn 2020, ESL Meisterschaft: Spring 2020, ESEA Season 38: Premier Division - Europe, and second place at V4 Future Sports Festival - Budapest 2019.

We are confident that snatchie’s many years of experience performing at the tier 1 level and his professional qualities will help young players in NAVI Visa Academy release their full potential.

A long-form interview with snatchie is coming soon to the NAVI YouTube channel. In the meantime, let us remind you that the application box for our Academy is still open: follow the link to find out more!
