Natus Vincere announces return to LoL

CIS organization Natus Vincere primarily known for their Counter-Strike and Dota squads have announced their intention to re-enter League of Legends. Na'vi had previously had a roster in Season 2 which most notably featured highly touted talent Victor "Citizen Wayne" Toll that competed in OGN at one point.

Currently they have nothing confirmed announcing their intentions to build from scratch starting from management before acquiring players.

Ukraine Natus Vincere makes a return to League of Legends and its new roster will be presented to the community very soon! The process of team formation will resemble the practices used by traditional sports: the organization will invite the head coach, who will eventually recruit LoL players.

League of Legends has been the object of our careful attention for quite a long time. And even though Natus Vincere have already tried to dive into the most popular MOBA game in the world before, this time we decided to move away from those concepts that are commonly used in eSports today, when a team is based on players, rather than managers.

Instead, we will use the experience of traditional sports: first employ managers and then form our League of Legends team, using their recommendations. The more eSports evolves, the more it approaches the rules and principles of traditional sports. We sincerely hope that our decision to go down this traditional path is a step in the right direction.

In a couple of days we will publish an announcement with the details concerning the vacancy of League of Legends head coach, so follow the updates on our website. You are most welcome to send your CV, especially if you consider yourself a competent professional, capable of accomplishing all important tasks of this position!


The comment by COO of Natus Vincere, Ukraine Igor "Caff" Sydorenko:

"We believe that the main responsibility for the team's result should be transfered to the coach and management, as it usually happens in traditional sports. I am sure that such approach to the team creation will be more effective in managing the training process and the team in general".

The comment by CEO of Natus Vincere, Ukraine Alexander "ZeroGravity" Kokhanovsky:

"eSports does not stand still, and we also move forward. I am sure that this innovation will prove how effective the sports approach can be for the formation of the League of Legends team."

You liar, ZeroGravity!

Still, pretty sure that it's for LCS itself, not CIS.
Honestly, I'm kinda praying that it's not Dig.EU, else all Na'Vi MOBA divisions will be laughing stocks.

Seems like it's not going to be dig.eu.

UOL maybe, I think there was some trouble with the management. Cant remember details though.

On the other hand their announcement makes it sound like they dont have players yet. So maybe they try to make it with a new team through challenger.

Maybe Origen or Elements get picked up? Both those teams aren't really brands so I could maybe imagine that happening.

Edit: I can't read, Alaric is right.

They're talking about building a team from the ground up, not acquiring an existing team, if you look at the article.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

*Might* still mean aquiring a spot though. But I also doubt it. It seems like they have tried and failed at that.
Would be good news if there was also some names and money coming to Eu challenger scene and not only to NA.

I wanna see organizations like NaVi pick up young/new/challenger players and build from there, not just acquire a spot owned by another team.

They look for a coach for a challenger team that can hopefully qualify for LCS in 2016.
