partly, not fully. But it doesn change anything in this concept

they disbanded because CIS league was cancelled

I think they were obviously Top-3 team in CIS after Navi and FPX on those qualifiers

Imagine how could be good KPI on VCT Promotions with their first roster :')

Same and lil bit of Chinese

Согласен, просто тред для убийства времени :)

Нет

They changed their politics a month ago. They don't want any new players from russia/belarus. All current current players from russia/belarus from all disciplines will be replaced with ukrainian players sooner or later

Even further. They won't hire Russian or Belorussian players. Navi won't be CIS team except for potential buyout full FPX roster.

That's hilarious because Navi said that they won't pick up players from 2 Russian-speaking countries. And I think no one will argue that CIS sub-region is the strongest in EMEA for 2 years

Other organizations will pick up CIS teams

Navi won't take any players with Russian or Belarussian passport in their organization (Full FPX roster is only one exception). CIS teams will be in other organizations

No

nice trolling

And whole EU

ANGE1? Is he joke to you?

I expected that people would read what type of players Navi are looking for: EU + Ukraine players.
M3C players aren't in this category. That's simple as "2+2=4"

0%

Disappointing comments are here.
I expected to read some real thoughts about future Navi roster, not "Sign M3C" or other Russian players.
Meh

I guess if Riot Games are reading some news they won't give Navi slot as only CIS team in the new system.
P.S. There are 3 of 12 teams from CIS sub-region in the current system.
P.P.S. If Riot Games give slot to team as sub-region teams. Then I would expect to see Navi as Eastern European team as all Ukrainian players, then expect to see 2-3 orgs for rest of CIS Sub-region (those orgs shouldn't be from that region, as we can see on FPX example)

They won't add NEW Russian players

One round on 4th map. They could win on Icebox

Goodbye the strongest EMEA sub-region
GL to everyone anyway

Gambits were one round away to actually do it

ANGE1

FPX FTW!

It's hard to see how current World Champion is in Tier 2 list :(
Come back to Tier 1 all Acend 2021 players!

He has a Russian passport - no

When EMEA top-1 and top-3 couldn't arrive? Ok, Sens are pretty legit all were at the same situations

He has a Russian passport, so 99% - no

He's studying in the Univ, he won't leave it

Not even a franchise team what almost got its spot in EMEA?

Sadly

This is what I think after his recent interview. He's still studying and he doesn't want to leave his Univ

It will be a part of Eastern Europe obviously

I hope to see full CIS teams again <3

:(

Win comment
In Gambit9 we trust

After consistent wins they will get more and more fans obviously

Navi

Navi FTW

What will they win? A slot or what?

Old but Gold
Imagine how it would be the first EMEA team to lose to NA in this year

M3C 2-1 Navi

Navi 2-0 BBQ

Chronicle>>>

Navi 3-2 M3C

Navi 2-1

And we can't properly say that Guild or Fnatic couldn't be #3 if they got Optic's bracket.
Fnatic lost to top-2 and top-1 only.
Optic lost to top-2 and top-1 only.
Guild lost to top-2 and top-1 + won top-3.
I have the courage to say that Guild are actually #2,5. I can't compare Fnatic and Optic here.
P.S. It's just math, reality is different: Optic #3, Fnatic #4, Guild #7-8.
