Natus Vincere, the renowned Ukrainian esports organization, has recently made significant CSGO roster changes by acquiring three exceptionally skilled players: Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen, Justinas “jL” Lekavicius, and Mihai “iM” Ivan. This move solidifies the swirling rumors of the team’s departure from the CIS region, as Natus Vincere sets its sights on strengthening its lineup and achieving greater success in upcoming tournaments.

The addition of Aleksib, the experienced Finnish in-game leader, is a significant step for Natus Vincere. Previously a member of OG and G2, Aleksib brings a wealth of leadership expertise gained from leading international rosters. Although his recent stint with Ninjas in Pyjamas did not provide the long-term stability he desired, he now embraces this fresh opportunity within a European project, driven to recapture the form that made him a standout player during his time with ENCE.

Joining Aleksib is jL, a talented player from Lithuania. His arrival marks an exciting chance for him to showcase his skills on the international stage. As Natus Vincere aims to diversify its roster, the inclusion of jL demonstrates the organization’s commitment to creating a well-rounded and highly competitive team capable of challenging the best in the world.

Another valuable addition to the revamped Natus Vincere CSGO roster is iM, a Romanian player who has consistently impressed while representing GamerLegion. Throughout his tenure, iM achieved remarkable ratings, with his performance during the French Major being particularly noteworthy. Maintaining an exceptional 1.35 rating until the final, he garnered significant recognition and elevated his reputation within the CSGO community. It was this outstanding display that earned him the call-up to join Natus Vincere, an opportunity he eagerly accepted.

Following his departure from GamerLegion, iM took to Twitter to express his gratitude to his former teammates and the organization. He conveyed his appreciation for their support and expressed hope for future encounters both in competitive matches and online battles.

Natus Vincere is now:

  • Ukraine Oleksandr “⁠s1mple⁠” Kostyliev
  • Ukraine Valeriy “⁠b1t⁠” Vakhovskiy
  • Finland Aleksi “⁠Aleksib⁠” Virolainen
  • Lithuania Justinas “⁠jL⁠” Lekavicius
  • Romania Mihai “⁠iM⁠” Ivan
  • Ukraine Andrey “⁠B1ad3⁠” Gorodenskiy (coach)

As Natus Vincere moves forward with its revamped roster, fans around the world eagerly anticipate witnessing the team’s evolution and the accomplishments they will undoubtedly achieve. The stage is set for Natus Vincere to continue their legacy as one of the most formidable teams in professional CSGO.
