Early years

But everything dramatically changed when Na'Vi became champions of the largest e-sports tournament in the world - The International. Na'Vi wins The International 2011, beating the Chinese team EHOME with a 3 to 1 score in the final and grabbing a whopping prize of $1,000,000.

The team was on top. It won prizes in many minor and major events. The team's preparation was at a good level in the preseason because the team easily got to The International 2012. As always, Na'Vi showed an excellent game and won a series of victories, reaching the finals. In the finals, Na'Vi played with the Chinese team Invictus Gaming, and they managed to win only one card in the BO5 series. And the team took an honorable second place. But the guys were not upset. Since there were still tournaments and victories ahead, the players were sure that the star Na'Vi would shine again. The new season began, and the team again showed excellent results. In 2013, Na'Vi took first place already in 7 tournaments and won prizes in three more. The season went well. Despite positive emotions after a great season and belief in success, the team again took second place, losing to The Alliance team at The International 2013.
