NAVI hit their lowest ranking since January 2020
Recent performances set NAVI as Number nice on the HLTV world ranking list.
Natus Vincere hits its lowest ranking since January 2020. The team is currently close to being out of the top teen after poor performances doing the last half of the 2022 season.
The last time Natus Vincere played a successful tournament was back on Jul 7th - 17th when the team managed to take second place at the IEM Cologne 2022. Since then, the team has failed to reach the top three in four consecutive tournaments, IEM Rio Major, BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, BLAST Premier World Final, ESL Pro League season 16.
NAVI has been forced by recent performances to make chances going forward into 2023. Andrii 'npl' Kukharskyi will be the new player in the NAVI active roster as Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev parts ways with the Ukrainian organization. npl played for the NAVI youth before joining the first team on a permanent deal. The young rifler played for the first team doing their run at the BLAST World Finals when the team took him for trial playing with a six-man rotation.
Natus Vincere's roster looks as follows for the 2023 season:
Oleksandr 's1mple' Kostyliev
Andrii 'npl' Kukharskyi
Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi
Denis "electroNic" Sharipov
Ilya "Perfecto" Zalutskiy
