Natus Vincere (NAVI) has announced its return to the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) stage after a hiatus of one year. With the fervor of a phoenix rising from the ashes, NAVI has not only reentered the fray but has also secured a formidable roster that promises to shake the very foundations of the Pro League.
The organization's decision to recommit to Apex Legends comes after a year-long absence following their failure to qualify for LAN in 2023. However, NAVI's hiatus ends with a resounding statement as they unveil their new lineup, courtesy of the recently released Vexed Gaming roster.
Officially revealed on NAVI's website and social media channels, the signing of the free agent team Orgless and Hungry, formerly known as Vexed Gaming, marks a strategic move by NAVI to reclaim their dominance in the EMEA region. Spearheading the lineup are the likes of Matej “MaTaFe” Fekonja, Tyler Wood, and Pedro “KIND4” Maldonado Vega, bringing a blend of experience, skill, and hunger for victory to the organization.
This resurgence isn't NAVI's first foray into the world of Apex Legends. Since their initial commitment in April 2019, NAVI has consistently showcased their prowess, culminating in notable achievements such as a second-place finish in the ALGS 2019 Preseason. However, internal restructuring followed NAVI's disappointing performance in the 2023 EMEA Pro League, leading to the disbandment of their previous roster.
The acquisition of Vexed Gaming's roster, renowned for their aggressive playstyle and impressive domestic performance, injects fresh energy into NAVI's lineup. Despite Vexed's struggles on the global stage, NAVI sees potential in their new recruits and aims to harness their talents for success in upcoming competitions.

With NAVI currently occupying a prominent position in the EMEA table, sitting comfortably in second place with 87 circuit points, anticipation mounts for their debut under the organization's banner on March 10. As the Split One LAN Playoffs loom on the horizon, NAVI's return signifies not just a comeback but a resurgence of strength and determination in the fiercely competitive world of ALGS.
