ImageKottenx has been playing with Na'Vi for the last couple of days and now his addition to the team has been officially announced.

After an amazing weekend for the League of Legends division of UA Natus Vincere in which they won the first TSM invitational, they just announced the newest addition to their team - jungler player SE Markus 'kottenx' Tingvall. He is replacing ES Alvar 'Araneae' Martin Alenar, who has decided to quit his professional eSports career because of personal issues. Kottenx was already playing with the team through the weekend and contributed a lot to their success, so the future is looking really bright for this new line-up.

The players involved gave the following statements:

ES Alvar 'Araneae' Martin Alenar
"I would like to thank Na`Vi for all what they did for us/me on period, but now is my time to stop playing competitively League of Legends. The reason are just personal and family problems, that I wont be playing as much as I need to play on this level. I will be still here for if they need me anytime, and I hope my old mates with Kottenx the best of their lucks, and to keep conquering Europe. Na`Vi Top 1!"


Team Captain DE Victor 'Acer Citizen' Toll
"With Araneae leaving the copmpetetive scene i have to say goodbye, not only to a very experienced and talented player, but also to a good friend of mine.

I wish you all the best for your future goals in esports and i hope we will meet again at some point in the near future, maybe for a soju or two :) .

Even though i am obviously sad about a good friend leaving the team, the potential of our team has risen to the infinite, since we got the best addition to the team we could have possibly asked for. With only having practiced for 2 days with our new jungler, we managed to secure overwhelming victories against some of the most accomplished teams in League of Legends and rushed through the TSM Invitational Tournament securing the 1st. place, as well as advancing to the deciding match in the Reign of Gaming Qualifier.

Everybody welcome Kottenx who even exceeded the highest expectations anybody could have had! In my whole career in esports i was never this excited about our opportunities and never have i been more impatient about the training finally to start :D. Thank you guys for supporting us and the awesome organisation that Natus Vincere is, Thanks to our sponsors who make all of this possible!"


SE Markus 'kottenx' Tingvall
"After a great weekend with Na`Vi I got the offer to join. It was an offer I couldn’t deny and I’m very happy to join one of the best team and a respected organization. I really like the guys in Na`Vi and I think we will have a great future in the world of esport."
