The esports team Natus Vincere, or Navi, has officially cut ties with the Russian esports conglomerate ESForce after the latter denied “the horror that is now happening” in its country.
“It is the sixth day of war in Ukraine,” Navi wrote in its statement. “The Russian army continues to attack civilian areas: hundreds of thousands of residents have left their homes, the others continue to fight for the future of our country. When people are dying and thousands of destinies are getting destroyed irreversibly, there is no time for esports…We consider this position unacceptable and inhumane. Navi breaks off every cooperation with the holding company, including RuHub, Epic Esports Events, Cybersport.ru, and Virtus.pro.”
Navi is comprised of several teams which compete in top esports games under the same brand – such as Dota 2, League of Legends, PUBG, World of Tanks, and Rainbow Six Siege. But, Navi is most famous for its successes with Counter-Strike, and last November became world champions of CS:GO.
