NAVI Announces the Disbandment of Its Dota 2 Academy

The esports organization Natus Vincere has announced the suspension of its Dota 2 academy.

The announcement was made on NAVI’s official website.

“Since the team’s formation, it has won the UESF Ukrainian Championship 2026; however, in European online tournaments, we were unable to achieve the level of consistency we had hoped for—this was a key factor in our decision. We do not rule out a return to the NAVI Junior Dota 2 project in the future.

At the same time, 15-year-old Alexey “onLitaL” Litovka will remain part of NAVI and will have the opportunity to gain additional experience by playing for other teams.

We would like to thank gbc, krol9ash, Gothic-, Hyuga, and coach Sword_Art for their time under the NAVI banner, as well as our partner Visa, who made this project possible.”

According to a statement from the esports organization, the NAVI Junior youth roster has been disbanded due to unsatisfactory results at international tournaments. However, the club has not ruled out the possibility of resuming the academy’s activities in the future. Despite the disbandment of NAVI Junior, Alexey “onLitaL” Litovka will remain with the organization, while the other players will become free agents.
