ASTRA and D7 join NAVI Javelins

Natus Vincere have announced two changes to their women's Counter-Strike roster ahead of the start of ESL Impact League Season 6.

The team has parted ways with one of its founding members from early 2022, Karolina "⁠Liina⁠" Kasprzyk, as well as Martyna "⁠LETi⁠" Owsik, who joined the squad in March 2023.

Their replacements are Mayline-Joy "⁠ASTRA⁠" Champliaud and Marta "⁠D7⁠" Asensio, two mainstays on the women's scene for the past two years.

ASTRA was last seen playing alongside her compatriots in France fe and previously competed under Let Her Cook and NIP Impact, while D7 last played for GUILD fe and BIG EQUIPA before that.

With the moves, NAVI Javelins move away from an all-Polish team for the first time since the team came together in early 2022. The changes come after a disappointing end to the previous season, which saw the Poles place 5th-6th at the ESL Impact Season 5 Finals despite coming in as one of the two main favorites alongside eventual winners Imperial Valkyries.

The new NAVI Javelins lineup is:

Wiktoria "⁠vicu⁠" Janicka
Hania "⁠Hanka⁠" Pudlis
Angelika "⁠Angelka⁠" Kozłowska
Mayline-Joy "⁠ASTRA⁠" Champliaud
Marta "⁠D7⁠" Asensio
