Meet NAVI Visa Academy Dota 2 coach

On August 4, NAVI esports club announced the launch of the NAVI Visa Academy debut season for Dota 2. Today, we are happy to introduce the project’s coach, Vitaliy “Sword_Art” Petkin — a familiar face to our supporters.

Vitalii spent over two years coaching NAVI's Dota 2 rosters. Under his leadership, the team reached the top 4 at two LAN tournaments: PGL Wallachia Season 2 and Clavision: Snow Ruyi.

Sword_Art shared his emotions about returning to NAVI and his expectations for the academy in an interview — available now on the NAVI Junior Dota 2 YouTube channel.

Quick reminder: applications to the academy are still open! Minimal requirements: age 14-18 and over 11,000 MMR. For more details, go to the link.
