Na.Vi expands to America!

Na.Vi expands to America!

Just a few hours ago, the famous gaming organisation Natus Vincere decided to clear the rumours regarding their pickup of a potential second team. They will indeed sponsor yet another team, running under the name of Na'Vi.US.

As speculated about the past few days and hinted on quite a few tweets and blogs, Na'Vi indeed decided to sponsor the squad North American Rejects, after their dominating performance in the American qualifiers for The International 2014.
Sneyking, the carry of the freshly crowned Na'Vi looks forward to work with one of the biggest Esports organisations from the west:

I think the name Na’Vi summons an image of unparalleled success and excellence. We will strive to live up to that excellence, and create an incredible legacy of our own. We have a long-lasting commitment not only to the community, but to each other as teammates.

With now two world class teams in the competition, Na'Vi look to establish their name even further in the history of Esports, trying to succeed where LGD failed last year. The management shows confidence and believes that their new squad will hold on to its performances and opens the door for future expansions:

We’ve been trying to open North America division for over a year. It’s definitely a huge step forward from Na`Vi’s evolution perspective. The Dota 2 squad is just the first stage in our plan of Natus Vincere project development in North America. We are going to take on two more squads in other disciplines. Our approach to selection of new players representing Na`Vi.US brand will be quite prudent and demanding.
