Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't this the team that was offering tryouts based on ladder ranking? It's kinda tough to take a team like that seriously imo.

I never knew Na'vi had a SC2 team. GL to the players though.

I didn't see much results from them, at least not at major events. Sad still!

Yeah they didn't seem to understand much about how the SC2 scene works.

Wasn't this the team that tried to recruit people using ladder rankings as a factor?

Anyway, that didn't last very long..

Proof that you can't simply throw money around and expect sponsors. That is no business model.
Sad day for eSports, only because a fuckload of money walked out the door, and no other reason.
Play the games!

Always sad to see a team break up, although it seems Na'Vi didn't really seem to put much effort in to SC2.

In fact, the only information I ever heard about them and SC2 was probably a single thread from a long time ago, where a lot of smug people *knew* they were the "up and coming" SC2 team, and that all the major pro-gamer teams should watch out for these guys. Apparently not >.> Looks like they'll stick to other things.

Best of luck to them in their future endeavors!

They came into SC2 too late, and I think they originally thought they would be able to lure away top Ukranian talent from their respective teams (DIMAGA, Strelok, White-Ra), but weren't able to. Setting their sets on the end of 2012 when contracts will be up once again seems like a good decision for them.

I'm not going back to DotA 2, I'm currently looking for a good team to join. I am practicing very hard now, quit school 1 month ago and I believe 2012 will be a good year for me, in SC2.

I think they were ambitious. They just didn't have the money to get into the scene at the time they tried. I think NaVi wants som eastern european players and Empire pretty much is the team there. So they either had to get the players from Empire or "buy" Empire. That didn't succeed and hence they didn't get any known players. Their "homegrown" players also didn't make a big impact, so they could't fufill what the team wanted. Hence they were ambitous, but didn't have the money to get where they wanted, hence shutting down and waiting until the next time, big players has to negotiate contracts...
Yeah

Hope this doesn't become a pattern, with a couple of teams closing shop recently.
Thank God and gunrun.

I do remember them picking up SC2 but I can't remember anyone who was on their team... So yeah no huge surprise that they dissbanded... then again maybe they were a bit to quick. But oh well, Best of luck to you anyway.

Sad to see any team disband their SC2 division, but Na'Vi really didn't seem to put too much effort into their SC2 team as it was.

Perhaps if they return to the SC2 scene they'll approach it seriously, and in the proper manner and have some better success.

I'm glad that Hireling will stay in the team and will keep on streaming.

I hope the players will find suitable teams!

Real shame, but inevitable; as said, navi didn't really put their hearts behind their SC2 team.

Hope l3abyknight - god of dota - finds another team though, that would be awesome, the man deserves it. Would be twice as awesome if he's the new EG player haha :D

And just seen him beat up TLO on TLO's stream, he's getting damn good !! :DDD
