iNation announce return with new team

The famed Serbian organisation is running again after almost a year of inactivity.

iNation have announced their return to activity with a new lineup led by veteran Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković. The announcement comes nine months after the Serbian organization left the Counter-Strike scene citing their "region's business market" as the reason for their withdrawal.

iNation's return was made possible by the support of Miloš Pavlović, the owner of Regnum, one of the biggest LAN cafés in Serbia. Pavlović, who found an investor to support the team, is taking up the role of CEO in the organization.

emi is joined by two other players who have donned iNation's colors in the past, Nikola "⁠Dragon⁠" Boskovic and Jane "⁠aidKiT⁠" Apostoloski. Rounding out the roster are Zoran "⁠xicoz⁠" Markovski, who will be eager to prove himself after brief spells with Sprout, IKLA and BIG Academy, and Luka "⁠c0llins⁠" Živanović, who was recently benched by Entropiq.

"I was thinking a lot about making a Serbian lineup while I was without a team, but we obviously couldn't make it work without an organisation," emi told HLTV.

"Luckily, the owner of the Regnum Internet Café found an investor, so they merged with iNation to have a team set to compete as soon as possible.

"We tried to pick players that fit role-wise but also who are working hard and want to achieve the goals set. I'm really happy to be part of this project, and hopefully, we'll be able to compete with other good teams."

iNation have the following lineup:

Luka "⁠emi⁠" Vuković
Nikola "⁠Dragon⁠" Boskovic
Jane "⁠aidKiT⁠" Apostoloski
Zoran "⁠xicoz⁠" Markovski
Luka "⁠c0llins⁠" Živanović
