Who joined NAVI Junior?

In early August, NAVI esports club and Visa jointly launched the NAVI VISA Academy project for talented young Dota 2 players.

Through several selection stages, we chose ten of the most promising candidates, who then joined a two-week bootcamp to train under the guidance of experienced coach Vitalii «Sword_Art» Petkin.

During this time, the Academy students competed against each other, gained valuable theoretical knowledge of the discipline, and even showcased themselves in media activities.

Picking just five out of ten participants proved difficult, as each demonstrated enormous potential, a drive towards victory, and total dedication to training.

Today, we are ready to announce the names of the players who have joined the new NAVI Junior Dota 2 roster.
