Natus Vincere (lat. Born to Win) is an international multigaming e-Sports club. Na'Vi was created in December, 2010 and can boast numerous e-Sports world records such as being number #1 team in the All-Time Money Ranking and having two most successful Counter-Strike and Dota 2 teams in the world. Natus Vincere always strives to be the best in any field of e-Sports activity including tournament performances, video production, social media marketing and live streaming.
Na'Vi DotA was announced in October 2010. After the departure of two members in December 2010, Ukrainian players Danil "Dendi" Ishutin and Ivan "Artstyle" Antonov joined remaining players- Aleksander "XBOCT" Dashkevich, Bogdan "Axypa" Boychuk, and Kostenko "Goblak" Arthur. In June 2011, Na'Vi added both Clement "Puppey" Ivanov and Dmitriy "LighTofHeaveN" Kupriyanov, as both Goblak and Axypa stepped down. About 1 year after joining, Artstyle left Na'Vi, opening a space for Sergey "ARS-ART" Revin to fill in November 2011. After a consistent year of event wins and large popularity, ARS-ART left Na'Vi and was replaced with Gleb "Funn1k" Lipatnikov in February 2013, also joined by new member Kuro "KuroKy" Salehi Takhasomi, taking place of inactive LighTofHeaveN. With consistent and exceptional event results throughout the years, it is an indisputable fact that Na'Vi has secured their place as one of the top teams in the DotA scene.
Na'vi takes a loss in game 4 to Nightstalker mid and Gyrocopter free farming top. Na'Vi was forced to group during night to avoid getting ganked, falling behind in experience and gold. Due to the deficit, team fights favored Alliance, which further split the advantage, causing Na'Vi to lose.
Game 3 ends up in a tug of war till mid game when Na'Vi starts taking ground. AdmiralBulldog's Lone Druid falls short to Dendi's mid Wisp and Xboct's Alchemist combo. KuroKy's Rubick shuts down Bat Rider initiation. Na'Vi pushes top barracks then continues the pressure with mega creeps into a GG. One more win and Na'Vi takes the championship!
An amazing game 2 where Alliance let Xboct free farm greedy Alchemist and fell victim to constant ganks. Funn1k with a dire creep pull from top lane to radiant jungle allowing him to farm all his camps. Great play by Na'Vi all around.
Game 1 LB, Na'Vi gives Orange an easy win, but comes back in game 2 decimating Orange. Game 3 turns into a back and forth match, in which kyxy denies his own team's aegis, giving Na'Vi the opportunity they need to make one of the biggest comebacks in the International, winning 2-1 and moving up to the Grand Finals against Alliance.

You can sign me up. I'm supporting DK for TI3 mostly because of the whole "Burning is retiring" thing etc, as a sign of honor. But I've been a somewhat of a Na`Vi fanboy since TI1. Their play is always amazing to watch. I love their craziness and balls.

Yes. But Orange proved that they are also a great team. I can't really take it away from them.
I'm rather thinking about another series, versus Alliance. I felt DK were capable of taking the series in the upper bracket. Then the whole top of the tournament could have looked differently, who knows. Still all those teams bring good money home.
It's a pity one's destiny often hangs on a couple of useless idiots. Thanks for your support but the Na'Vi are unlikely to continue with the current roster.

Yeah I saw that, everyone on the team had bad moments and good moments. To make a roster change off of the results of the International would be a mistake, I feel.
I don't get how they can see that as a failure... :/ This was such a great performance! I was sure they were going to get own 3-0 by alliance. Go Na'Vi!

2nd place is the first of the losers. They missed out on an extra 800k. It seems to me like hes talking about the management rather than the players though he looked mad pissed after game 1.

what would make you think that it involves the management? just curious

I imagine he's talking about whoever was the mastermind behind the picks of game 1 of the finals.

Seems like there's a very small chance they'll forcibly make a roster change. It's more likely that XBOCT will decide to leave Na'Vi. In which case, I'd love to see LoH come back. :3
Yeah, that's good! They need a bit more time to get better at working together. They had some small problems that spiraled out of control for them in the finals.
