Not many know that NAVI once ventured into the world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). NAVI MLBB made their debut on November 4, 2021, but their journey in this game was brief, ending in February 2022. Despite the short-lived stint, NAVI is remembered as one of the CIS region teams that competed on the international MLBB stage.

NAVI MLBB

Natus Vincere, better known as NAVI, is a professional esports organization from Ukraine whose name means "born to win" in Latin. Since its establishment on December 17, 2009, NAVI has become a prominent figure in various esports disciplines such as Dota 2, CS:GO, and more.

NAVI’s Brief Journey in MLBB

NAVI’s entry into MLBB began with the formation of a talented roster from the CIS region, consisting of:

• Lil (Ruslan Degtev) as Gold Laner
• Nagib (Maxim Dudich) as Mid Laner
• SAWO (Stanislav Reshnyak) as Roamer
• Sunset Lover (Kemiran Kochkarov) as Jungler
• Defender (Andrii Martynenko) as EXP Laner

They competed in the M3 World Championship 2021, where they finished 7th-8th, securing a prize of $30,000. However, various challenges, including roster changes, hindered their performance. Eventually, NAVI officially disbanded their MLBB division on February 28, 2022.

Notably, former NAVI MLBB players SAWO and Sunset Lover have since joined Team Spirit, which competed in M6.

Rumors of NAVI’s Return in MPL ID S15

Exciting rumors are circulating in the MLBB community: NAVI is allegedly planning a comeback in MLBB and may join the Mobile Legends Professional League Indonesia (MPL ID) Season 15. If these rumors are true, NAVI will be the next international team to enter Indonesia's premier league.

So far, neither NAVI nor MPL Indonesia has confirmed the rumors. Nevertheless, the speculation has sparked discussions in the MLBB community, with many hoping NAVI’s return will add fresh excitement and elevate competition in MPL ID.

Potential Impact of NAVI in MPL ID

If NAVI joins MPL ID, the implications could be significant:

• Intensified Competition: As an experienced team, NAVI might bring innovative strategies, making matches even more thrilling.
• International Exposure: NAVI's presence would further enhance MPL ID’s reputation as one of the world’s top MLBB leagues.
• League Adaptation: Coming from outside Southeast Asia, NAVI could face challenges in adapting to MPL ID’s highly competitive playstyle.

Will NAVI truly return to MLBB and join MPL ID Season 15? While this remains unconfirmed, their presence would undoubtedly bring new dynamics to the competition.
