Young G replaces MagicaL in the mid lane, while Immerson takes over from so bad in position four. <\/p>\n<p>Reports claim the change was needed in order to fix NaVi&#8217;s internal problems, suggesting MagicaL and so bad have found themselves in conflict with the remaining players on the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Immersion started his <a href=\"\/dota-2\/\" title=\"Dota 2 betting sites\">Dota2 esports<\/a> career in April 2018, when he joined CoM18Anji. Most of his success to date came during his stint with Gambit Esports, with whom he won WePlay! Dota 2 Winter Madness and WePlay! Dota 2 Valentine Madness as well as claiming silver medals from The Bucharest Minor, ESL One Katowice 2019 and StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 1. <\/p>\n<p>Immersion also had stints with ESPADA and Positive Guys before joining Team Spirit in October 2019. With Spirit, he finished top six at WePlay! Bukovel Minor 2020 and fourth at Epic Prime League Season 1.<\/p>\n<p>Young G debuted on the Dota2 pro scene in January 2018 with Nemiga Gaming and later played for Imperial Pro Gaming, Modus Unity and Winstrike Team. He has taken part in several Tier-2 and Tier-3 tournaments with varying degrees of success, with his most notable achievement being fourth place at Parimatch League Season 2 in March.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We are ready to announce our updated Dota 2 roster! ?<\/p>\n<p>?: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z7CtyDLXmD\">https:\/\/t.co\/Z7CtyDLXmD<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dota2?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dota2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/navination?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#navination<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uMjjb6eYLb\">pic.twitter.com\/uMjjb6eYLb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Natus Vincere (@natusvincere) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/natusvincere\/status\/1276470323752378368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The last results of the team left a lot to be desired; it seemed the team had stalled &#8211; something had to be changed,&#8221; said NaVi&#8217;s coach, Andrii &#8220;Mag&#8221; Chipenko.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The situation on the pro scene &#8211; quarantine, <a href=\"\/the-international-10-postponed-until-2021\/\" title=\"The International 10 postponed until 2021\">TI being postponed<\/a> &#8211; provided us with just the opportunity to switch things up, to find the optimal players for the team, to make sure the upcoming season will be much more productive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;We\u2019ve been considering several options this time around &#8211; players have provided their input and vision on what will work best for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Natus Vincere will now field the following Dota2 roster:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vladislav &#8220;Crystalize&#8221; Kristanek<\/li>\n<li>Nikita &#8220;Young G&#8221; Bochko<\/li>\n<li>Pavel &#8220;9pasha&#8221; Khvastunov<\/li>\n<li>Alexander &#8220;Immersion&#8221; Khmelevskaya<\/li>\n<li>Ilyas &#8220;illias&#8221; Ganeev<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, Natus Vincere announced the signing of Nikita &#8220;Young G&#8221; Bochko and Ilyas &#8220;illias&#8221; Ganeev, who replace Idan &#8220;MagicaL&#8221; Vardanian and Vitaliy &#8220;so bad&#8221; Oshmankevich in the active lineup of their Dota2 roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":8287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1305,17,4,132,1304],"class_list":["post-11729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-alexander-immersion-hmelevskoy","tag-dota-2","tag-featured","tag-natus-vincere","tag-nikita-young-g-bochko"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11729"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11729"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11732,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11729\/revisions\/11732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
