The new year eve has always been the right time to sum up all major events of the year. Natus Vincere is not an exception and by analyzing the current status of our gaming squads we have decided to disband our StarCraft 2 squad. The major factor that led to this decision was lack of satisfying results by team players.
We thank to all our players that have been representing the organization during this year. We appreciate their contribution to the team and wish them sincere good luck. Most probably we will come back to StarCraft 2 title in the end of 2012 but will be still following the scene with Denis “Hireling” Shubovsky still representing Na`Vi.SC2 as our official broadcaster for this e-Sports discipline. Below you can read the statements by our CEO and teamcoach.

A sad day for eSports 
|
Had no idea that they even had an SC2 team.. :/
|
Natus Vincere founded its sc2 squad not that long ago. I believe Happyzerg left just a couple days or a week ago.
Sad day
Best of luck to its players in the future.

thats unfortunate gl in the new year to all its players
|
I guess all the best Ukrainian players are on imbaFXO or Empire :-/
Sad to see such a legend of ESPORTS pull out of SC2, even if only temporarily.

So is 13abyknight going back to Dota 2? Been hearing that he's been standing in for a team. But he's been doing decent in SC2 and has said that he's more of a solo player. Anyone have any news on this?

I've heard rumours that he's aiming for dota2. He is a soloplayer so he'll prolly go back to solo mid with a heavy carry, lol.

I was so happy to see a dane stream and be good at SC2, hope BabyKnight sticks around

Tbh, it felt like they didn't really put as much into the scene as they could. You can't sign players who have yet to achieve anything on the cheap and then say you're disbanding because of the lack of results. They need time T_T. Like over a year not a few months... If you want instant results, you have to sign somebody who can deliver them immediately. That means you've got to pay a bit more but the RoI is much higher, you become more prestigious, you make more money to spend on whatever etc etc.. They didn't even make one marquee signing to get everybody talking about Na`Vi. They just basically sat in the background and dwindled away into nothingness.
I just see it as a shame because they could have been a big name in this scene like they are in CS and dota2 but they never got their hands dirty.
Just look at the likes of mouz + EG and what they've achieved because they've invested and got the right players.

They didn't even have any really good players and they expected results? rofl
if they really wanted results, a team of their calibre could have easily contracted a few class players. Really sad decision by them.

Legend? No just a good cs team that was made a few years ago  SK, 3D, fnatic I'd give the legendary tag to.

Na'vi is a huge Dota genre team.
Who won a million bucks a few months ago? Natus Vincere.
|
Not surprising. The players they had weren't great and Na'Vi didn't really seem too ambitious about it.
|
No matter what their achievements are, they would always have been way way overshadowed by their Dota 2 lineup, which is basically the equivalent of top koreans put together if you were to translate it to SC2 terms.
So they'd have to have MVP/Nestea/Idra/Naniwa/HuK caliber players, and at least enough of them in the lineup to be able to play team leagues.
Unfortunately all players of that caliber are already on sponsored team.
It's a good business decision. They should concentrate on something they are already amazing at (still an understatement), - DOTA.
|
Na'vi needed to invest in SC2 more if they wanted to have a competitive SC2 squad with results...
Shame they didn't really put that much into SC2, could've been the next Evil Geniuses with all the money they won from Dota.
But its great for their business that they "get rid of their fat" and focus more on their strong suit - all the best for Na'Vi
Poor HappyZerg and friends );

not a huge surprise i guess, they have much more successful squads in other games so i suppose they'll be focusing on them.
still a bummer though, good luck for those now teamless!
|
Good decision imo, it was not worth the investment they came into SC2 too late all the good players were already on a team.
