After three Semi Final runs and a forgettable Paris Major campaign, Natus Vincere chose to make some drastic changes to their team. For the first time in their history, they are going to play with an international squad. They brought in some high-profile talents during the off season and kept hold of old guards Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev and Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi.
