Huh. Looks from that reddit thread that there's a few different possibilities.

Either way, we should be getting an answer soon, per this tweet from Brax from this past Friday:

Just sent a pm to a mod requesting a name change for the thread. However, I do have an important question:

What is this team's official name? Na'Vi.US or Na'Vi.NA?

If you look at the official press release on the Na'Vi website, (http://read.navi-gaming.com/en/team_news/NaVi_expands_to_North_America) both names are actually used. So which one is the correct one?

The facebook page's name is Natus Vincere USA, the flag is American, but the logo in the picture says North America, and the picture in their post says North America.

Props to dendi in that sick game.

At the time DreamLeague was beginning and for about 4 days most of the TI teams were playing in it and it was going to be hard for us to train with any of them for about 4-6 days since they would take a break after it as well. Luckily we were still able to play with Empire, Power Rangers, Sigma, Liquid and a few other teams. I feel the same issue will reoccur when ESL LAN finals begin but I don’t think we will have a big issue finding some training partners and maybe we might even be able to train with VG or IG since they will be attending ESL. After the summit we knew what we had to work on to improve as a team but it wasn’t going to be an easy task at all. Our first few scrims were not satisfactory but there was no way we were just going to go in there and get it right on our first shot. I think it’s quite important that we just keep training hard and as many times we fall as a team or a single player we have to bring each other back up as one.

By the way, I'm curious - is there anywhere where I can buy the Na'Vi.US jersey? I checked the official Na'Vi site but only the main team's jersey is available. Are the planning on releasing the US jersey too? Anyone know if it will be available any time soon?

Well I'm hopefull that they will kick ass. If the suck I don't want the jersey anway but I really think they got a great team and are smart to stick together.

Ok I'm confused and frustrated again, though I'm sure it's all because of the unpredictability of unforseen circumstances messing with the original schedule of events. But in this case, I'm not even sure what the truth is, and/or I can't find any explanations as to why this is.

On both Liquidipedia and gosugamers, Na'vi.US is listed to play today against Not Today as part of the Star Ladder league, yet nothing is listed on the calendar for today for either Na'vi.US or the Star Ladder league. I tried looking at the league's thread and saw something about english casters getting kicked out - does that have something to do with the confusion here?

Anyway, if anyone can shed some light on whether or not Na'Vi.US is playing today or not, that would be great. Thanks!!

What happend with Brax and 1437. Doesn't seem like anything happend at all between TI4 and now. They mad ESL NY yet it seems there must have been issues. Wish someone from the team would tweet something or even Bulba or ppd would gossip some answer just to let the fans know.

Lot of nested quotes... anyway, they were definitely not just recently formed for TI4 qualies. Brax had been planning this team for months, probably not this exact roster but definitely 1437 and Sneyking.


Feb 7, over 3 months ago.

They didn't really have a full roster at that point though, so Brax started playing a lot more League and Sneyking seemed to want to join Liquid, but once the team got Korok and took Fogged once he was booted from Dog, they decided to recommit and were able to get themselves into ADL season 2 and then jDL.

To look down on any group of individuals for trying hard to get into the biggest e-sport event ever is, in my opinion, a bit pretentious of a remark. The American pro scene is known to be a lot more unstable than most of the EU scene, but that doesn't change the fact that really amazing teams can come together and stay together relatively long.

But "every possible sign in the universe" (freely quoting some other forum member) was pointing at the team being formed for TI5 and the captain even said they are devoted to strive for excellence!

Jokes aside, hopefully they can form some sort of a stable team around the people who are in the team still, and maybe Brax and 1437 could get new players to form another team. Would be nice to have more competition in NA region qualifiers. Though I don't have much faith in any of these players forming a team that could become a real competitor. I listened to the Brax interview where he talked a bit about what is going on, and it didn't seem that any of the players have the necessary leadership to make the players work together and instead everyone starts the blame game when they lose.

He did have a slight sense of being bitter about results, Brax himself was playing the blame game. Maybe he just said all of that out of pure bitterness

As I, and other people, talked about in previous pages, there's plenty of reasons and history to expect that the team will break up after TI. "Good enough to exist long term" is debatable considering that getting into top8 in TI is not going to be easy for them. If you look at last year for example, every single team in the bottom 8 changed their roster. I believe just some months ago one of their players was playing LoL (Brax), one had some real life problems preventing them from playing much (Fogged), and one was "concentrating on school" (Korok). Even if their captain is serious about their "strive for excellence", imo it's pretty understandable that people are skeptical given their player history and the history of teams that don't do extremely well at TI.

That being said, I hope they manage to stay together and do well. They are clearly a team that can at the very least put up good showings in Western tournaments. Would also be good for any NA only events so that EG have more competition than just TL.
