The Natus Vincere organization has announced that its academic team NAVI Junior , considered one of the best academic teams in the history of Counter-Strike 2, is up for sale. The team available for transfer includes four players — Dmitry “dem0n” Miroshnichenko, Nikita “cmtry” Samolotov, Dzugas “dziugss” Steponavichus, Aulon ‘Krabeni’ Fazliya — as well as coach Andras “coolio” Ferchak and a rating that grants the right to participate in Major tournaments.

Dominance at Tier 2

Formed on May 20, 2024, under the leadership of coach coolio, NAVI Junior quickly established itself as a dominant force on the Tier 2 scene. The team won numerous tournaments at this level and consistently defeated RMR-level teams, allowing it to enter the top 30 of Valve's global rankings. These impressive results underscored NAVI Junior's status as the pride of the organization and a source of inspiration for young CS2 players.

Makazze's promotion to the main roster

One of NAVI Junior's most notable achievements was the development of star player Makazze, who was recently promoted to NAVI CS2's main roster. Thanks to his aggressive playstyle and impressive 6.5 rating over the past 12 months, Makazze has become a key figure in the academy and an example for other young talents. His transition to the main team is a testament to the success of the NAVI Junior program in developing players capable of competing at the highest level.

CS2 ecosystem restrictions

The decision to put the team up for transfer is due to CS2 ecosystem restrictions that prevent the academy roster from further developing under the NAVI brand. “CS ecosystem restrictions do not allow the academy team to continue developing under the NAVI tag,” the organization said.

A new stage for the academy

At the same time, NAVI announced plans to start recruiting a new NAVI Junior CS2 roster in the near future, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the academy. The organization promised to keep fans informed about the future of NAVI Junior players and their new career moves.

NAVI Junior will remain a symbol of the organization's success, as the team not only achieved significant results but also nurtured talents such as Makazze, who was recently promoted to the main roster. Fans and the CS2 community are eagerly awaiting new announcements about the future of NAVI Junior and the development of the NAVI academy program.
