No Captain for Na’Vi in Group Stage, Artstyle’s Visa Delayed
Na’Vi’s team captain, Ivan ‘ArtStyle’ Antonov won’t be able to join his fellow teammates in China for the MarsTV Dota 2 League due to some delays with his visa. In the meantime, Na’Vi will be playing with a Chinese stand-in for the group stage on Thursday, June 4.
According to a statement in the Natus Vincere website, they will have to wait for the Chinese Embassy to issue a visa for Artstyle and Na’Vi will do the best they can to fight in the group stage of the tournament.
Navi gonna play tomorrow without Artstyle in group stage of #MDL. Will be hard to qualify for playoffs. Tune in at 4 CET tomorrow
