The only thing that’s unknown right now is how long this war is going to take, and where it’s going to take all of us. We are able to keep our staff, we are able to keep our rosters, players, etc. They will do everything that’s needed to keep on cooperating with us. Some of our partners even offered us prepayments. They understand that some of our promotional posts may look strange, at least at the moment. And after those talks, we feel quite comfortable because they are ok with it. We had talks with all of our partners, with all of our sponsors, to explain the situation. The guys who work there are great guys and don’t support what is happening but we can’t work with Russian brands anymore. We lost only one partner and it was our own decision - a Russian bank, Tinkoff, that supported NAVI. What does that mean on a daily basis?Ī: We mentioned because of our partners. Q: In a recent social media post, NAVI mentioned a return to normal that also acknowledges the reality of the situation. The Washington Post spoke with Zolotarov about his organization's position regarding Russian esports athletes, working in wartime, and the disorienting feeling of watching Russian propaganda on TV. On Twitter, the organization shared posts raising money - including for bulletproof vests - photos and videos of the chaos across the country, and statements updating fans on the club’s work. NAVI’s tone on social media also shifted. Others stayed in Ukraine, including some employees in the besieged capital, Kyiv. Some members of the financial and legal departments moved to Cyprus to keep the organization running. Some employees of NAVI, as the club is known, have spread across Europe. “I don’t even know if my house still exists,” he said two weeks ago. Zolotarov isn’t sure he’d have gotten past the electronic garage door without power.
The next day, with his neighborhood just barely in the rearview mirror, electricity was cut off in the area. On the first day of Russia’s invasion, Zolotarov’s infant son was awakened by explosions and a local military airport was seized by Russian forces. This season we are striving to advance further into the tournament - as we always do.Yevhen Zolotarov, CEO of the Ukrainian esports organization Natus Vincere, evacuated his hometown of Hostomel, just northwest of Kyiv, in the nick of time.
