NAVI launches the VALORANT roster and introduces the first player
NAVI esports club opened its VALORANT roster and introduced its first player, a 17-year-old 
Kirill “Cloud” Nekhozhin. Cloud has been competing in the pro scene since 2021 and has already earned around $5,000 of prize money. Kirill has won VCT 2021: CIS Challengers twice and become the runner-up of this tournament. Cloud's biggest achievement is a 3-4th place at VCT 2021: CIS Stage 1 Masters.
Together with Cloud, we will continue to build up the roster. Although we have a list of potential candidates to test, you can apply for a try-out at NAVI! If you have previously competed in Challengers or VCT Masters divisions, feel free to contact us at: .
Aleksey “xaoc” Kucherov“VALORANT has developed greatly in the world since its launch. Although the discipline is still at an early stage in the CIS, things are looking promising. Therefore we want to develop the game in our region. Our goal is to bring as many top-ranked players to the world championships as possible.
We are happy to announce Cloud as our first VALORANT player. Together we will form a lineup worth cheering for.
In the next 1-2 months, we will be doing tryouts of different players and watching the results of the VCT qualifiers, after which we will work out the final roster.”
Kirill “Cloud” Nekhozhin“I'm honored to be a part of NAVI and incredibly happy to get this chance! I'm willing to work even harder now. I know that many fans are rooting with all their hearts and I would like to give something back! I have been given the opportunity to prove that I am a VALORANT player for a reason. I will do my absolute best.
Further, I want to say thank you to Alexei and Vlad. Without them none of this would have happened!”
