Korb3n shared his thoughts on how the former Gaimin Gladiators coach will influence NAVI

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that Asker “Cy-” Larsen has strengthened the team as coach of Natus Vincere's Dota 2 roster.

The Team Spirit manager shared this opinion on Twitch.

“NAVI has been strengthened by coach Cy-, that's obvious. They now have a Tier 1 coach with a proven track record. They already had a decent roster.”

The Team Spirit manager also noted that the decision to keep the roster for the next season during the reshuffle period will also be an advantage for NaVi. According to Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Natus Vincere has no competitors during the qualifiers, as the only team that could pose a serious challenge to the roster was Aurora, which lost motivation because the organization kept the roster only to participate in the qualifiers.

"Otherwise, it's a pretty classic story that rosters that don't change are stronger at the start of the season than rosters that do change. And somewhere around winter, everyone more or less comes to a consensus. NAVI has no competitors in the qualifiers. Aurora was a competitor. Considering that they stated that this roster was only for the qualifiers, people understand that the players will not be playing with each other next season. So what are you playing for? To make someone else feel good? I'm not belittling NAVI — they play really well and have been strengthened by their coach. But right now, that's not an indicator."

Earlier, Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhambetov also supported Natus Vincere's decision to keep the Dota 2 roster unchanged.
