Natus Vincere will be attending the SLTV StarSeries VIII Grand Finals on December 20-22. The Ukranian powerhouse has been chosen as the replacement for LGB E-Sports in the anticipated event.

We have recently announced the details for the SLTV StarSeries VIII Grand Finals. The top four finalist will fly to CyberSports Arena in Kiev to compete. The finalists were  Astana Dragons,  Universal Soldiers, LGB E-Sports and  Clan Mystik. Unforunately LGB E-Sports won't be competing in the event. They will be replaced by the fifth placer in the tournament group stage which is the  Natus Vincere,

The team manager Kevin 'Kevz' Mikkelsen told the prominent CS website, HLTV.org that the team won't be attending the said event because of the players don't want to have conflict in their Christmas schedules.

"It's with regret that i have to announce that LGB eSports won't be able to attend SLTV in Kiev in 8 days. The dates for the event does not fit with our players plans during christmas time."

"Some of the players already have plans with their family and we unanimously decided not to go.

We thank you all for your understanding and our fans & Sponsors for their continuous support."

This would be the perfect time for Natus Vincere to prove the power of their newly established roster. Can Natus Vincere snatch the championship in Kiev? Stay tuned as we bring you more updates regarding this anticipated grand finals.
