To reclaim their position in the Valorant scene, NAVI has announced plans to revamp their roster following a second consecutive year of disappointing results. The organization is actively seeking new talent and inviting both players and coaches to join the team.

As a result, the team management decided on major changes, likely affecting the player roster. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the upcoming announcements.
