NAVI roster: gotthejuice, Niku, pma, Zayac, Riddys
It’s worth noting that NAVI recently made changes to their roster. Several players from NAVI Junior, who have shown better performances this season, will be promoted to the main lineup. However, not all of the new players will be participating at PGL Wallachia Season 5.
In 2025, Natus Vincere again played a bunch of qualifiers, but not very successfully. On the Tier-1 stage, they played only at PGL Wallachia Season 3 where they took 9-11th place, and on the Tier-3 stage, they won at CCT Series 8.
However, NAVI Junior played an incredible game this year. They took 1st and 2nd place at CCT Series 6 and CCT Series 7, took 7-8th place at PGL Wallachia Season 4, and most importantly managed to qualify for the Esports World Cup and The international 2025, so now NAVI Junior will become the main squad and replace the current Natus Vincere squad.

At the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year, The International 2025, NAVI disappointed their fans. The team managed to secure only one victory, against HEROIC 2-0, while the rest of the matches, although played decently, ended in losses, leaving them in 14th-15th place.
A new stage for NAVI began in the autumn season: the team changed their coach and successfully performed at DreamLeague Season 27: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and RES Unchained: BLAST Slam IV Europe Closed Qualifier, winning and earning slots at the main tournaments.
At BLAST Slam IV, NAVI performed quite well. In the Group Stage, the team played with a 6-5 record and even managed to defeat Team Liquid. However, in the Play-in, the team lost and was eliminated from the tournament, finishing 7th-8th.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, NAVI played slightly below the expected level and finished in 9th–11th place.
