Natus Vincere parts ways with coach

Esports organization Natus Vincere has announced the end of its collaboration with Dota 2 team coach Maxim TheHeartlessKing Fadeev. The information was published on the club’s official website.

Maxim joined the team on February 18, 2025, and led the roster throughout most of the season. During this time, NAVI participated in several major LAN tournaments: they finished 8th at PGL Wallachia Season 4, 9th at the Esports World Cup 2025, and 12th at DreamLeague Season 26. The season concluded with The International 2025, where the team placed 14-15th.

In addition to working with the main roster, TheHeartlessKing is also known for coaching teams such as Team Spirit, HellRaisers, HYDRA, Night Pulse, and NAVI Junior. He worked with the junior roster from February to July 2025 — during this period, NAVI disbanded its main Dota 2 roster, and the academy team effectively became the organization’s primary squad.

Earlier, CyberScore.live reported that NAVI’s academy had introduced its coach.
