The Ukrainian esports organization NAVI has announced its expansion with the launch of a division in the popular MOBA discipline, Honor of Kings. The new roster consists of five players, including Kang "JiaBao" Qi, who joined the team on loan from Talent Gaming.
The NAVI newcomers already have significant achievements on the professional scene. This season, the squad won the championship title at the Honor of Kings Major League Spring 2026 LAN tournament. Additionally, the team secured a 5th–8th place finish at the Honor of Kings World Cup 2026, held as part of the large-scale Esports World Cup 2026 festival.
Ryan "Clue" Maaroufi, a player on the newly formed roster, noted that the team has gone through many challenges and is thrilled to join a professional organization. According to him, the squad plans to use all its accumulated experience to achieve new victories and cement NAVI's name in the history of this discipline.
The team's debut challenge under the new tag will be the Honor of Kings Major League Fall 2026 LAN tournament, taking place from October 27 to 31. The stakes for the competition are high: the top three teams of the tournament will receive direct invitations to the main event of the year — the International Championship 2026, scheduled for December.

- Giorgio "Nighty" Hu
- Kang "JiaBao" Qi
- Martin "Hailang" Raza
