NAVI will also inherit Rebellion's slot in the upcoming 15th season of MPL Indonesia.

Iconic Ukrainian esports organisation Natus Vincere (NAVI) have officially acquired the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Rebellion Esports roster for the upcoming MLBB Professional League (MPL) Indonesia Season 15 during the Perayaan Terakhir event of Rebellion Esports. 

Alongside the roster acquisition, NAVI will also be taking over Rebellion's slot in MPL Indonesia. The takeover was already teased by both organisations prior to the announcement. 

Aside from Karsten “Karss” William and Jason “Aether” Keane Zefanya, who had already been part of Rebellion Esports prior to the takeover, the team also brought in Muhammad Rakhaa “woshipaul” Sastradinata from Bigetron Beta, xMagic from Geek Fam ID Jr., Zeon from their Blitz lineup, and Rifaldo “HanafiTzy” Hanafi from MLBB Development League (MDL) Indonesia team Kagendra. Aether and woshipaul will be the two junglers for NAVI. 

Here is the lineup for Natus Vincere on the MPL Indonesia Season 15: 

• Karsten “Karss” William
• Jason “Aether” Keane Zefanya
• Muhammad Rakhaa “woshipaul” Sastradinata
• xMagic
• Zeon
• Rifaldo “HanafiTzy” Hanafi

NAVI also acquired the services of former ONIC, Bigetron Esports, and Alter Ego head coach Ronaldo “Aldo” Aditya Lieberth as their head coach, with Raiden as his analyst.

While NAVI's takeover of Rebellion wasn't a surprise, initially, it was rumoured that it was Singaporean organisation Paper Rex that would acquire the rebels. However, it seems that talks between Paper Rex and Rebellion fell through before NAVI stepped in.
