If you have been following Yuragi’s journey, you know that he used to be a part of Natus Vincere before. He played for the team in 2024 but only spent around 8 months with the squad. After a series of disappointing results, the player (and the entire roster) were replaced.
With that said, it seems like the Ukrainian organization decided to give the player another chance. Alongside him, Na’Vi also welcomes Ari. The British support player will join on loan from OG. Ari began his professional Dota 2 career in 2023 with TSM, and quickly made a name for himself. After joining OG, he established himself as one of Europe’s top support players. Sadly, the squad wasn’t able to achieve any good results, so Ari and the rest were benched.
What’s Next for Na’Vi?
Following these two roster changes, some people believe that this is the new era for Natus Vincere. It has been a while since the legendary organization achieved good results. The organization made tons of roster changes over the years, but none of them gave them the results they wanted.
With that said, Yuragi and Ari’s arrival might be just what the team needs to start winning. The two Dota 2 stars have played together before and proved they can do well. The first challenge for Na’Vi’s new roster will be the DreamLeague Season 26 EEU qualifies. Speaking of the roster, here is what it looks like:
- Artem “Yuragi” Golubiev
- Sukhbat “Sanctity-” Otgondavaa
- Miroslav “BOOM” Bican
- Matthew “Ari” Walker
- Oleh “Kaor” Madcedok
