Formalities, really. Natus Vincere is an Ukrainian/Russian team and will probably end up with a largely Eastern European roster, though at this point in time the best Ukrainian players (ie Strelok, Kas, etc.) probably have contracts so they can't outright recruit them. They obtained the best European Dota team via recruiting (some would say "poaching") the core players of what was considered the best European/Ukrainian Dota team at the time (DTS), so it's likely they have the bucks to make things happen.

What they demand:

- Top100 European / Korean ladder or Top20 American ladder;



BS! Top 100 in America are not worse than Top 100 in Europe. Also, Top 100 in Europe is way behind Top 100 in Korea!


TOP 100 in NA is worse then top 100 EU , and that even tells every of your NA pro players , like Idra , Huk , Destiny , KiwiKaki etc , they all play on EU its a fact , so let it go already.

Hmm Na Vi is from Ukraine... so maby we see Kas Dimaga etc ?

Interesting that you have an application system based off ladder ranking and no information on sponsorship. Will be hard to get anyone good this way.

Also, stop with the NA hate! Best cheese defenders over here!


Kidding? Na'Vi is a great team, anyone who knows games should know that. I don't think they need to mention sponsors.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

you guys need to cool it with the ladder shit.

NA isn't as good yep. But you guys trying to attribute extremely random numbers like "top 100 EU is the same as bottom 500 NA" or w/e is dumb. Most of us play / smurf on EU and place actually right around the same level with what we try and do on the ladder.

Recruiting via ladder rank for a team of Na'vi's prestige is insanely dumb. They should be approaching players of interest and asking them if they are interested in discussions post contracts being up / buy out options.

WTF is this... we expected EU jokes

-----------------------------
They have this requirements because they mainly want european players and /or top tier players from other servers. The top 100 EU=100 KR thing that people argue about is dumb and not what they meant

It continually blows my mind these REALLY big E-Sports teams (sans EG) that refuse to just hire a talent scout. It's really mind boggling.

Mr eg, could it possibly be that they want to build a good team from scratch with unscouted talents rather than just trying to poach players that reached excellence by training with a different team? Cause the second option is proving to be somewhat unsustainable when the amazing acquired stars start to falter under their new inferior practice environment.

Weird that they're going off of ladder. I guess just to start? Top 20 for NA is fine... but then to put EU ladder equal to KR is silly.

Hello guys,

Thanks for your feedback on the news. We've noticed a lot of people here started to make unjustified conclusions about our method of recruitment and therefore we'd like to clarify some things. First of all we'd like to confirm that ladder rankings does not mean that much as you could think: this condition only determines a minimum boundary of accepted application. As always we are open for newcomers and talented players and should we find them, we would gladly cooperate to achieve the maximum results possible both for Natus Vincere as organization and for player himself.

Yet, in 2012 we are willing to build a really strong and competitive SC2 team with the help of professional StarCraft 2 players. These players will be carefully selected by our SC2 coach as well as head management according to our requirements both for the player (his skills, experience, motivation, hardworking, etc) and person (teamwork abilities, loyalness, ethics, etc). Striving for perfection has always been one of the most important keystones of Natus Vincere and Na`Vi.SC2 won't be an exception!

Announcing our recruitment plan, we just want to share this information with the community and progamers that may be actually interested in Na`Vi as well as Na`Vi is interested in SC2. Now see you in 2012 and don't forget to support us!

Originally Na'Vi didn't mean Natus Vincere. It honestly meant nothing at all.

The tall blue tribe from Avatar is called Na'vi, and
Navi = Ivan (backwards)

I'm guessing that was the very origin of the name, before the voting.

He's from EG, obviously he prefers poaching players in an ill mannered fashion.

I like the way Na'Vi are approaching the scene, creds & props to them. Good luck to them aswell.
