Swedenstrong becomes permanent NAVI player. His try-out is over, ALOHADANCE is out

Natus Vincere announced its Dota 2 roster for the third tour of DPC Regional League 2021/2022 for Eastern Europe. Georgii "swedenstrong" Zainalabidov has become the main roster player while Ilya «ALOHADANCE» Korobkin is out of the team.

During the DPC EEU 2021/2022, swedenstrong proved himself to be with a great playstyle and steady communication with the team. Georgii moved to Serbia a week ago and immediately started to train.

NAVI placed 5th in Beyond The Summit DPC CIS Tour 2 and failed to qualify for the ESL One Stockholm Major.

The invite to play for NAVI was unexpected. Solo wrote to me and asked if I wanted to play. I was in Team Nova then, I told the guys about the invitation, and they all supported me and said: "Of course, go try it", and wished me good luck. We had only one day of practice before the qualification began.

Before that, I did not talk to anyone from NAVI, I only came across them in matchmaking. This was a big surprise for me. <...>

The guys treated me well. Everything was comfortable from the first day. It was very easy to communicate with them, suggest ideas, and solve problems together. Shout-out to all the guys, it's great playing with them.
