NaVi (Natus Vincere) is a Ukrainian esports organisation founded in 2009. The team originally played Counter-Strike 1.6, but its biggest success came after moving to CS:GO. That’s where NaVi won a bunch of major world-level tournaments, including the Major in Stockholm in 2021.

NaVi roster history
Since the division was created, NaVi have had plenty of memorable lineups. Some versions of NaVi won every trophy they could, other times were rough, but the team almost always stayed in the spotlight on the tier-1 scene — either because of results, or because of standout players.
Achievements of the first roster
When it all started, the current NaVi team was called Arbalet.UA. The first roster included: Daniil “Zeus” Teslenko, Ioann “Edward” Sukharev, Sergey “starix” Ishchuk, Arseniy “Ceh9” Trinozhenko, and Egor “markeloff” Markelov. With this five, they won gold at Arbalet Cup Asia 2010 and also became world champions in 2010 by winning the grand final of Season 4 of Intel Extreme Masters. In the deciding match, the Ukrainian squad beat the Swedish team Fnatic 2-0.
