Dota 2 is a continuation of the legendary team tactical-strategic game with elements of a role-playing game, in which each player controls one hero, and, if the hero has the appropriate abilities, a number of additional creatures.
Why Solo was "kicked" from NaVi and what awaits Doter next

Natus Vincere is one of the most famous and titled organizations in all of esports. It is known not only in the CIS, but all over the world, and its name flashes among the favorites in the mass of top games.
Unfortunately for NaVi fans in Dota 2, the team hasn't been doing very well lately. She tried to find the optimal composition throughout the year, which is why she performs poorly in the season. And at the last qualifiers, she couldn’t win a ticket to The International (the main event in Dota 2), which ended this year for herself.
Immediately after that, the organization announced that Aleksey Solo Berezin would leave the line-up. For many, the news came as a shock, because the player played well this season and, due to experience, helped younger teammates. What is the “kick” connected with and what lies ahead for Alexei’s career? We tell in our article.
You can follow NaVi not only in Dota 2, but also in other disciplines. It is especially convenient to do this in the mobile application of bookmakers, because you can watch the game progress without being distracted from making bets. Instructions for installing such programs can be found on the Legalbet website. As an example, here is an instruction how to apply formula 55 download on Android.
How Solo played by season
At the beginning of the year, Alexei was listed as the team captain. That is, it was up to him to choose the strategy, heroes and organization of actions in the game itself. And formally, the responsibility for the results is largely on him. And they were very mediocre:
2nd place at Dota 2 Champions League Season 6;
5th place in DPC EEU Division 1 Tour 1;
5th-6th place at Dota 2 Champions League Season 7;
5th-6th place in DPC EEU Division 1 Tour 2.
After that, the management of the team decided to make substitutions. Instead of Victor General Nigrini, Vladislav laise Lais was invited, and Georgy swedenstrong Zainalabidov, who also got the role of captain, replaced Ilya Alohadance Korobkin.
The reshuffling slightly improved the results, thanks to which the team was able to break into the first major (the second most important tournament), although it took only 13-14th place there.
The last test of strength for NaVi was the closed regional qualifiers and the Last Chance qualifier, where you could earn a ticket to the "int". It failed to do so.
If we talk about the game, after removing the captain's functions from Solo, his playing level has increased. If Alexei failed at the Major (let's write it off as adaptation to new requirements), then at the last tournaments, Berezin was objectively one of the best players on the team.
Why Solo was kicked
The main reason for parting with an athlete is not called playing skills, but a conflict with teammates. It was on the initiative of Berezin that the composition changed during the season, which did not suit other players. For this reason, the position of captain was removed from him - no one else believed in Solo's leadership qualities.
It sounds strange, since Solo is a veteran of the Dota scene. And in his entire career, he has never given a reason to talk about himself as a bad teammate. Perhaps the age difference played a role, because of which it is difficult for Alexei to reach out to young talents.
What's next for Solo
There are no specifics now and it is unlikely to be expected in the near future, since after The International there will be more than a month's break. In addition, the format of the upcoming season is also unknown.
Given Solo's age, he has two choices:
- Assemble your team. Due to his age, he is unlikely to be accepted into the already existing composition of a strong team, and moving to teams of a lower rank is simply pointless. The idea to gather young guys around an experienced player who are ready to meekly listen to the captain is not new - Team Spirit, who won the tenth "int", can be a good example.
- End career and move into coaching. Difficult move for any player, but quite logical for Solo. His understanding of the game is hard to dispute, and the experience of winning big tournaments will help him guide his players in the right direction. Yes, and he thus remains "in the game."
