Na'Vi already has successful teams at CS and DotA(2). It is the first team in Counter-Strike history that was able to win three major tournaments in one calendar year - Intel Extreme Masters, Electronic Sports World Cup and World Cyber Games 2010. The DotA(2) team recently won a whopping 1 million dollars last August. They also have a FIFA and an existing SC2 lineup.

Achieving outstanding success in Counter Strike and DotA2, Natus Vincere is now looking for its triump oh StarCraft 2 scene. Today we are announcing top players selection for our StarCraft 2 squad for year 2012. We are looking for experienced and high-skilled players with huge motivation, excellent teamwork skills and desire to contribute to the world's most successful e-Sports organization.

- Top100 European / Korean ladder or Top20 American ladder;
- Your running contract should expire on December, 31st, 2011 or earlier;
If you meet these requirements and ready to continue your progaming career in our team, feel free to send your application to sc2@navi-gaming.com with the following information:

- Battle.net ID;
- Your full name;
- Desired amount of monthly salary;
We will contact everyone who meet our requirements to discuss further possibilities of our cooperation.

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!


Bonus:

Training base for their CS players(also being used by DotA players to prepare for tournaments, So SC2 team training here can be a possibilty) can't translate though DX

EDIT: Translated to English and added more info
I love Lindsey Sporrer :)

Lol @ them feeling European ladder is = to Korean ladder.
Ladder hero's are not going to win them tournaments for the most part. If they throw enough money out there they should get some good talent.

Good luck to this team anyway.

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!

considering the fact that korean who play GSL don't play ladder too seriously, yes, they are.
considering the fact that american ladder is so poor in players able to compete with other, yes, they are.

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!

Dont know about EU but definitely worse than Top 100 KR. Big a huge margin, too.

lol thats pretty arrogant imo equating EU ladder to KR and then saying NA is 5 times worse


also anybody close to top 100 in KR is on a GSL team, so good fucking luck with that

Because they only want the best players on their team...? Makes sense to me

Ridiculous requirements imo. I doubt they will get any top players this way. Even when they should for being such a big organisation/team.

Good luck to Na'Vi and everyone who's trying though!
