Update on NAVI Junior Dota 2

We have decided to temporarily put the NAVI Junior Dota 2 project on hold.

Since the roster was formed, the team won the UESF Ukrainian Championship 2026, but in European online tournaments we were unable to achieve the level of consistency we expected — this became the key factor in our decision. We do not rule out returning to the NAVI Junior Dota 2 project in the future.

At the same time, 15-year-old Oleksii “onLitaL” Lytovka will remain part of NAVI, with the opportunity to gain additional experience by playing with other teams.

We want to thank gbc, krol9ash, Gothic-, Hyuga, and coach Sword_Art for their time under the NAVI tag, as well as our partner Visa, who made this project possible.

For the players, this journey was an important step — gaining experience on the pro scene, adapting to the level of competition, and growing both in-game and beyond it. NAVI Visa Academy and NAVI Junior will remain important entry points for young talents on their path to the pro scene.
