NAVI parted ways with two players right before the qualifiers for Riyadh Masters 2024

Just before the 2024 Riyadh Masters qualifiers, Natus Vincere has bought out the contracts of Maxim "mellojul" Pnev and Maxim "shigetsu" Popadinets.

A club statement was issued regarding changes in the team’s composition.

It also became clear that players were now free agents and hence not part of NAVI anymore. Mellojul and shigetsu were signed by NAVI in February last year. In early March 2024, they were moved to reserves and their places were taken by Artem "Yuragi" Golubev and Sukhbat "sanctity-" Otgondavaa.

Where Mellojul and shigetsu are headed next is anyone’s guess; presumably,the professional gamers are thinking about different options, offers from organizations.

NAVI Dota 2 lineup:

• Artem “Yuragi” Golubev;

• Sukhbat “sanctity-“ Otgondavaa;

• Dmitry “Nefrit” Tarasich;

• Bakyt “W_Zayac” Emilzhanov;

• Arman “Malady” Orazbayev;

• Vitaliy “Sword_Art” Petkin (coach).

Recall that earlier Team Falcons shocked everyone with admitting to NAVI's dominance across public scrims than them.
