Last year's winners Natus Vincere will miss World Cyber Games 2011, which has been officially announced by Na'Vi's CEO: ZeroGravity.

Natus Vincere 's fate has been met and they will not attend the World Cyber Games, after rumours they would receive a spot due to being last years champions. The next event featuring Na'Vi will be BEAT IT which is in just a few days time, it will take place at DreamHack Winter in Sweden, which commences November 24th-27th.

Yesterday the CEO of Na'Vi,

Alexander "ZeroGravity" Kokhanovskyy, made the following statement:

"On Monday, November 21st, I contacted WCG organizing committee to settle the details of our trip to Busan, South Korea. That time I was very surprized to know noone was waiting for us there. It looks like everything was planned 15 days prior the event and we can understand the organizers. But I still do not understand why noone contacted us to finalize the deadline for event participation."

Na'Vi had originally taken part in WCG Ukraine but came a disappointing third place after a 2-0 loss to

KerchNET in the semi-final. KerchNET went on secure a second place finish in the event behind winners

DTS , securing both teams a WCG spot, with DTS having travel and accommodation paid for also.
