FXO's European division was first formed in March 2012 when the organization acquired the former squad of the Russian Guild of Imbalance (who were until then under FXO sponsorship), featuring prominent players like Brat_OK, Lowely, Strelok and LiveZerg. In July 2012, BratOK would depart, his place almost immediately taken by BabyKnight.
It was announced today that five players from that FXOpen roster together with managerial and content staff will transfer to the Ukrainian Na`Vi, one of the most renowned organizations on the Dota and CS scenes. The announcement also mentions that "in the nearest future, there will be a training base at the Natus Vincere's office, organized specifically for the new players."
