    After a dismal showing in The International 10 qualifications, Natus Vincere announced on July 23rd that it would be switching things up, classifying its entire Dota 2 lineup as inactive. And now, three members of the organisation have departed the squad, including two players and Andrii "Mag" Chipenko, Na'Vi's longtime coach.

    Along with Mag, RodjER and RAMZES666 have also departed the group, with RodjER being the first to report it on Aug. 3 when he announced he was seeking for a new team. Na'Vi has officially confirmed the decision, removing its coach, one of the current roster's main players, and RAMZES, who the organisation was chastised for bringing onto the roster in the first place.

    While referring to the change in TI10 dates, Na'Vi COO Aleksey “xaoc” Kucherov said that they have plenty of time till the start of the next season. As Na'Vi will construct a new squad, they are contemplating several alternatives for Na'Vi's future in the discipline. He further sad that from now on Na'Vi’s paths with Mag, RodjER, and RAMZES666 will diverge. He appreciated the guys' efforts in Na'Vi and wished them the best of success in their future endeavours.


    Since late 2019, when SoNNeikO was benched and finally left the team, Na'Vi's Dota roster has been in a perpetual state of turmoil. He returned to the squad in May after a break of slightly over a year, although he left after the TI10 regional qualifiers. This was apparently sparked by the team's fifth-place finish in the event, as well as some internal strife.

    Only No[o]ne and Alik “V-Tune” Vorobey are listed as inactive members of Na'Vi's most recent roster. Viktor "GeneRaL" Nigrini, Nikita "young G" Bochko, and Pavel "9pasha" Khvastunov are all still under contract with the team, however only GeneRaL has played this season.
