Navi has announced changes in their dota 2 squad on social networks. Inji "Shad" Lyub was moved to an inactive state, and Vitaliy "QBFY" Ivanov left the team. Their position will be replaced by the "Yuragi" Artem and Matthew "Ari" Walker, who have joined in loan from OG.

For Yuragi, this is the return to Navi, because he played for the team from March to October last year. During that time, the team achieved quite good results, especially to win the Dreamleague 23 and twice in the top 4 in major Lan Lan tournaments - Clavision: Snow Ruyi and PGL Wallachia season 2.

Ari brings a lot of international experience, used to play for OG and TSM. His remarkable achievement includes 4th rank at ESL One Birmingham 2024, as well as standing at 9-12 at Riyadh Masters 2024 and The International 2023.

Navi thanked Shad and QBFY for their contributions to the team and wish them success in the future career.

The new squad is currently preparing for the Dreamleague qualifying match season 26, this will be the first test for this new squad.

Navi's current dota 2 squad:

Artem "Yuragi" Golubev

Matthew "Ari" Walker

Sukhbat "Sanctity-" otgondavaa

Miroslav "boom" bican

Oleg "Kaori" Medvedok

Milan "Milan" Kozomara (coach)

These changes can significantly affect Navi's play. The return of Yuragi, who once showed an impressive performance to the team, along with the addition of Ari - an experienced support player - will open up many new tactical opportunities. The question is how fast the new squad will coordinate with each other before the qualifying round, when the European region is very competitive.

The first official matches of the new team will be an important challenge for Navi in ​​the journey to win tickets to the Dreamleague season 26.
