Spanish player David "Supa" Martínez García will join Natus Vincere as the AD Carry for the 2027 LEC season. This move marks a new chapter in the 26-year-old esports athlete's career after three years of playing for Movistar KOI.
For Supa, this will be his first experience representing a different organization in Berlin. The transition also concludes his seven-year partnership with head coach Tomás "Melzhet" Campelos Fernández, which began in 2019. It is reported that GIANTX also showed interest in the player, while Fnatic considered him as a potential backup option.
Signing Supa will be NAVI's first successful step in a difficult 2026-2027 offseason. The organization had ambitious plans to surround their jungler Enes "Rhilech" Uçan with more experienced players, as stated by the team's coach Vasilis "TheRock" Voltis back in August.
Most of NAVI's attempts to acquire star players proved unsuccessful, as they had already found other teams. The club unsuccessfully tried to sign:
- Toplaners: Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik, Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan, and Alex "Myrwn" Villarejo.
- Midlaners: Vladimiros "Vladi" Kourtidis and Yoo "Zinie" Baek-jin.
- AD Carries: Kim "Deft" Hyuk-kyu and Nam "Diable" Dae-geun.
- Support: Lampros "Labrov" Papoutsakis.
Currently, NAVI's roster is being built around jungler Rhilech. According to the Global Contract Database, midlaners Poby and Larssen, and support Parus also hold active contracts through the end of next year. Several positions in the 2027 roster still remain open.
The Spaniard's departure from Movistar KOI did not come as a surprise, as the organization announced its decision not to renew the contracts of its toplaner and AD Carry at the end of 2025. Despite a respectable performance at Worlds, Supa was forced to look for a new club. Joining NAVI gives him a great opportunity to reinvent his career and prove his high level to his former organization.
