NAVI fields title-winning Honor of Kings roster
NAVI announced a five-player Honor of Kings roster, including Kang “JiaBao” Qi on loan from Talent Gaming. The team will debut at the Major League Fall LAN, Oct. 27–31.
Ukrainian esports organization NAVI announced the launch of an Honor of Kings division and a five-player roster that will compete under the NAVI name at the Honor of Kings Major League Fall 2026 LAN from October 27 to 31. Kang “JiaBao” Qi joins the lineup on loan from Talent Gaming.
The roster includes Giorgio “Nighty” Hu, Kang “JiaBao” Qi (on loan from Talent Gaming), Martin “Hailang” Raza, Xin Valentino “TGold” Zhang and Ryan “Clue” Maaroufi. Xu “Xu” Ruoran will serve as coach and Sabrina “Sya” Starke as manager.
The squad won the Honor of Kings Major League Spring 2026 LAN and finished fifth to eighth at the Honor of Kings World Cup 2026, held as part of the Esports World Cup festival earlier this year. Those results produced ranking points and prize earnings for the team.
At the Fall LAN, the top three teams will receive direct invitations to the International Championship 2026, scheduled for December.
Player Ryan “Clue” Maaroufi commented, “We’ve gone through many challenges and are thrilled to join a professional organization. We plan to use all our accumulated experience to achieve new victories and cement NAVI’s name in the history of Honor of Kings.”
NAVI’s first match under its banner will be at the Fall LAN, where the roster will compete for a top-three finish and a spot at the International Championship.
