NaVi signs PuckChamp Dota 2 roster
The Ukrainian esports organization Natus Vincere announced the signing of the PuckChamp roster after an unsuccessful performance in the DPC 2023 Tour 1, as a result of which the team was relegated to the second division. Information about this appeared on the official website of NaVi.
Thus, the Ukrainian team will return to the first division already in the spring tour, despite the relegation from the elite, as the PuckChamp roster managed to take second place in the second tier and earn a promotion. The management of Natus Vincere also said goodbye to the last player of the previous roster, Georgy 'swedenstrong' Zaynalabidov. The updated NaVi squad looks like this:
- Maksym 'shigetsu' Popadynets (carry);
- Maksym 'mellojul' Pnov (mid);
- Abdimalik 'Malik' Sailau (offlane);
- Danial 'Danial' Alibaev (support);
- Arman 'Malady' Orazbayev (full support).
The Natus Vincere slot in the second division will be occupied by the youth team of the Ukrainian eSports organization called NaVi Junior. It consists of:
- Taras 'gotthejuice' Linnikov (carry);
- Richard 'Ri4man' Kalnins (mid);
- Yurii 'pma' Prots (offlane);
- Tamir 'daze' Tokpanov (support);
- Stanislav 'Riddys' Mitroshkyn (full support).
As CyberScore reported, the group stage of The Lima Major 2023 has ended. Based on its results, all the playoffs participants have been determined.
