Meet the NAVI Visa Academy VALORANT participants

In March, together with Visa, we launched the NAVI Visa Academy VALORANT project, aimed at young and talented players.

After several stages of selection, we, alongside the project’s head coach Ivan “Johnta” Shevtsov, identified ten of the most promising candidates from hundreds of applications. They have earned the opportunity to continue their journey within NAVI Visa Academy and compete for a spot in the NAVI Junior VALORANT roster.

During this stage, participants showcased their skills, competed against professional-level players, took part in leagues, and gained valuable experience playing in a team environment.

Each candidate demonstrated a high level of play, consistency, and strong potential for growth, but only the top 10 players made it to the final lineup.
