We’ve long planned to expand NAVI’s presence in mobile esports, and today, we’re making a major move — joining Mobile Legends: Bang Bang! With MLBB being the second most-watched esports title of 2024 and boasting a massive global fan base, now is the perfect time to dive in. The M6 World Championship was the second most-watched esports event of the year, reaching 4.13M peak viewers, while MPL Indonesia Season 14 ranked third with 4M peak viewers. To make our mark in the scene, we’re broadening our geographical presence by acquiring Indonesian organization Rebellion Esports and launching two NAVI MLBB rosters, set to compete in MPL and MDL Indonesia. The Indonesian gaming community is not just large in numbers, but it’s also a vibrant and integral part of the Southeast Asian gaming scene. The next season of MPL Indonesia kicks off in March!

Last Saturday, Belgrade saw the final of the prestigious annual HLTV Awards. The event looked back at the past year in competitive Counter-Strike. Our esports club collected the most awards, winning a total of five nominations: B1ad3 was named Coach of the Year, Aleksib - IGL of the Year, jL - Closer of the Year, and B1t - Anchor of the Year. Most notably, NAVI CS2 team became HLTV.org's Team of the Year, having surpassed Team Spirit and G2 Esports to secure the title. 2024 was truly one of the most successful in our club's history. NAVI won two of the three most prestigious championships - PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 and Esports World Cup 2024, played in eight consecutive LAN tournament finals, and spent 18 weeks at the top of the HLTV.org rankings. In addition, according to Esports Charts data, matches featuring our team were the most viewed last year (64.86 million watch hours). Individual achievements of NAVI players were also recognized by HLTV.org: iM, for the first time in his career, took 16th line in the top 20 players of the year, w0nderful got placed 11th, b1t — 9th, and jL rounded out the top five. We thank all our fans, as well as partners: GG.BET, Logitech G, white.market, Backforce, PUMA Group, Visa, Guild Of Guardians , bo3.gg, and FACEIT Ltd, who supported us throughout the last year. We have no doubt that in 2025, we will continue to bring you exciting new victories and make every effort to become the best team of the year once again!

Jest mi niezmiernie miło być kolejny raz nominowaną w Plebiscycie na Lidera Sport Biznes Polska 2024 ogłoszonego przez Sport Business Poland Association. Jest to dla mnie niezwykłe wyróżnienie i cieszę się, że moje osiągnięcia zawodowe w Natus Vincere zostały docenione właśnie tą nominacją. W swojej codziennej pracy staram się zawsze mieć realny wpływ na rozwój mojej dyscypliny i zmieniać jej postrzeganie w społeczeństwie tak by inspirować i motywować zawodników do rozwoju na wszystkich płaszczyznach i by zapewnić im jak najbardziej profesjonalne wsparcie, które pozwoli im osiągać najlepsze wyniki poprzez długie lata. Ta nominacja to dla mnie także odpowiedzialność, by zawsze reprezentować takie wartości jak fair play, zdrowy styl życia, oraz zaangażowanie, a przy tym by promować e-sport nie jako zagrożenie dla młodych, ale jako drogę, która przy odpowiednim rozwoju może być dla nich spełnieniem życiowych ambicji. Od zawsze jestem dumna, że jestem częścią świata, w którym współzawodnictwo jest drogą do promowania innowacji, rozwoju umiejętności społecznych oraz doskonalenia się zawodników. Dziękuję jeszcze raz za nominację i gratuluję wszystkim nominowanym w tym plebiscycie. 💛 🖤

The first season of NAVI Visa Academy is over! The two-month project turned out to be truly exciting and global: we received player applications from 48 different countries, and fans from all over the world followed the successes of young talents - over 4M+ total impressions and 38K+ total engagement. Following the qualifying stage, the top 10 players went through a three-week bootcamp in Berlin, which made them into real stars. We received a huge amount of positive feedback from the community and fueled the audience's interest with content across platforms: the NAVI Visa Academy landing page, long and short videos, social media and messengers. In the end, we determined the final five players to form the new NAVI Youth CS2 roster. The Academy graduates have already performed in their first pro tournaments. During the project, we received many comments from players who wrote that joining NAVI is their biggest dream. Thanks to Visa, the dream can once again come true in the new seasons of NAVI Visa Academy. Stay tuned for updates!
