Natus Vincere



Natus Vincere (Latin: "born to win"), also known as Na`Vi, is a Ukrainian multigaming e-Sports organization.

History
In October 2010, the creation of a DotA squad was announced, which included the best Ukrainian players. Na`Vi simultaneously declared their intentions to announce a squad for StarCraft 2. Initially the team included five players, but on Dec. 23, 2010 Mag~ and Deff- left the team. The empty slots on the team were filled by Ukrainian players from DTS.Chatrix - Danil “Dendi” Ishutin and Ivan “Artstyle” Antonov, who became the captain of this new squad. .

In August 2011, Na`Vi.DotA was invited to the first Dota 2 tournament at GamesCom, Cologne, Germany. The event named "The International" featured 16 invited top teams from all over the world with impressive amount of prize money - $1,600,000. Na`Vi.DotA was the ultimate winner, beating Chinese team EHOME with 3 to 1 score in the final and grabbing a whopping amount of $1,000,000.

On October, 13th, 2011, Artstyle left the team. The captain position was taken up by Puppey, and ARS-ART took the fifth slot on the roster.

Na'Vi attempted to defend their crown at The International 2012, where they placed 2nd, losing to Invictus Gaming 3-1 in the Grand Finals.

In February 2013, Funn1k from Team Empire joined the team, replacing ARS-ART. KuroKy from Mousesports also joined the team, while LighTofHeaveN went inactive.

In April 2013, after his contract expired, LighTofHeaveN officially left for Team Empire.
