Na'vi has finally completed their lineup for the new season to include Evgenii "Chuvash" Makarov.

Just one week ago the famous Ukrainian organization had announced a major overhaul and shift in their roster —and it didn't include long-term, iconic member Danil "Dendi" Ishutin. At that time the list only included four players, leaving the last spot open still.

Now it seems the roster has been finalized to include the addition of Evgenii "Chuvash" Makarov in the support role and Andrey "Mag" Chipenko as the coach. 

The Russian player has been active in the region playing for teams such as Effect and most recently Team Empire. Mag has a long and decorated history in both Dota 2 and DotA, playing for Na'Vi back in 2010 in DotA itself. 

One to always be front and center to let the fans know what is going on, the CEO Yevhen Zolotarov had stated:

I'm pleased to announce that we have completed our roster for the new season. We tried out three different players for position 4 and they all did well in tryouts, so the choice was not easy to make. Ultimately, Evgenii "Chuvash" Makarov joins us as a support. He already has some competitive experience and I hope he'll be able to unleash his full potential with us. We’ve also decided on the right coach candidate, Andrey "Mag" Chipenko. I think his personality traits and vast experience make him a perfect fit for this job and our young roster in particular.

The team is heading to bootcamp to start getting prepared for the first qualifiers of the season next week. 

Natus Vincere Roster:

Ukraine Vladislav "Crystallize" Krystanek

Kyrgyzstan Evgeniy "Blizzy" Ree
Russia Evgenii "Chuvash" Makarov
