The Ukrainian powerhouse Natus Vincere completes the participant list of our Fall 2013 season. We gladly welcome our Spring 2013 champions back to the EMS after they could not take part in our last season due to commitments in China.

NAVI is undoubtedly the most established Dota 2 team in the Western hemisphere. They won the very first The International back in 2011, and this year in Seattle, they could only be stopped by Alliance in the grand final. This is reason enough for us to invite them to the RaidCall ESL Major Series One, where the creme de la creme of European Dota 2 competes for a massive prize pool of $39,000.

Despite initial rumours, there will be no roster changes in Natus Vincere for now. Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin, Alexander 'XBOCT' Dashkevich, Gleb 'Funn1k' Lipatnikov, Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov and Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi are going have their first appearance in the group stage, being one of three teams to skip the cups alongside Alliance and mousesports. This is definitely something to look forward to!
