Despite the war in Ukraine — the sirens, the blackouts, the constant instability — we, NAVI, continue to do our work.
For many people behind the scenes, the rhythm of daily life includes interruptions from air raids, power outages, and the uncertainty of what the next hour might bring. Things take longer. Plans change. But we keep showing up — not to make a statement, but because we care about what we do.
Sometimes, it’s hard to focus — not because of the game, but because of the news back home. Even for those training and competing abroad, the weight of what’s happening in Ukraine is never far. These aren’t things we often talk about. But they’re part of the backdrop behind every game, every post, every result.
The EWC 2024 “Level Up” documentary gave us a chance to share a small piece of that reality — to show where we’re coming from.
Esports remains for us a way to stay connected with each other, with our fans, and with something that feels normal when so much else doesn’t.
To those supporting us — in Ukraine and around the world — thank you.
Your presence means more than you know.
Terror always has one face

Ukraine needs more air defense protection, Ukraine should be allowed to retaliate against airfields with Russian aircraft
For those who claim that "it wasn’t a direct strike".
The rocket on the video was not hit by air defenses and was flying straight at the target, which is exactly the Ohmatdyt hospital below it.
