NAVI announced the launch of its Dota 2 academy

Esports organization Natus Vincere has announced the launch of a Dota 2 academy and the expansion of its talent development program in collaboration with Visa. Following the successful launch of the CS2 Academy, the club has now opened its first Dota 2 season. The announcement was published on NAVI's official website.

The selection process includes several stages: an online application followed by a two-week bootcamp in Kyiv with on-site accommodation. At least one participant will earn a spot on the NAVI Dota Junior roster.

Players aged 14 to 18 with at least 11,000 MMR or ranked in the top 1500 in Europe are eligible to apply. Preference is given to candidates currently residing in Ukraine. Applications are accepted from players of all roles — you can submit yours here.

As a reminder, in June 2025, "Born to win's" Dota 2 manager Radiactivebaby announced the launch of a new youth-focused project. The organization aimed to build a renewed junior roster.

Earlier, CyberScore.live reported that Natus Vincere had disbanded its main Dota 2 roster.
