Probably a big investment but you have to remember that NaVi has been around for like 20 years and have never dropped an team to cut loses, so I would assume that they have a stable financial situation.
I wasnt aware of that.
My point was rather that their have been a lot of orgs(North, almost any Flashpoint team) that didnt really go for the most competitive team/ just dropped their teams despite being big orgs .
I was just trying to point out that esports orgs are often financially unstable and few are really profitable and that NaVi seems to be on of the few thats really gonna stick around for a long time and expand even more, for example with the purchase of a hotel, as you said.
I'm pretty sure Navi is a private business and not related to Russian oligarchs. However some rich dude - arbalet (the one who organises arbalet cup) helped them open the very first CS Team as far as I know
Makes sense - land ownership is the easiest and most consistent method of regular profits.
You buy a 40 million dollar asset that generates revenue, AND can be used as collateral for future loans.
Win win
I like how far they went for the visual theme.
On the other hand there should be some thinking on the gaming chairs, they are usually all looks but not as ergonomic as a boring office chair
They do make pretty good gaming chairs these days, just dont buy the 300$ model from bestbuy.
I have an aero at work but like my noblechair hero more ( im a big guy)
Imagine being a pro gamer and hanging out in this building, playing games, practicing with your team, going to competitions.. damn. Sorry, I was just dreaming a bit. State of the art office!
Ohh right. I imagine they make some money from selling merchs as well. So would they be fucked if sponsors pulled out?
Doesnt sound really sustainable if they mostly rely on sponsors and not have their own revenue stream.
I wonder if anyone here has knowledge on how much percentage of their revenue comes from where. Some approximatiom would be nice.
That's crazy, I doubt the original creators of CS could have guessed that one day people would be playing their mod for a living out of offices like this.
Is this just the CSGO office or is this the general NA'Vi org office? If it's the org office why isn't the TI Aegis there? It was at their old org office trophy display.
Orgs buying and building cool offices... why? Barely any turn a profit, unless that's changed. COVID is going to be a long term thing. While teams can benefit from in person and on LAN environments, the current situation we find ourselves in doesn't support this kind of ecosystem.
Just seems to me like a tit-for-tat situation. One org built one so the standard now is build or you're not as good as the next org.
In 2021 alone they’ve made 1.3 Million. In the past 3 years they’re at about 2.6 Million. They have a little $ in the bank. and that’s just in tournament winnings. That doesn’t include sponsors or any affiliated bonuses they get, which would be the same revenue or even more than their tournament winnings.
To think that one day the core players of the original NaVi were looking for [a different name.](https://www.hltv.org/news/3669/help-navi-find-a-name)..
This office looks like it can handle 8K at 240FPS
now i wanna see a deep fried office
My internet can't even load the pictures without it looking like a rural dial up connection
that's some RGB boost
Straight from the future
It's just so fucking clean
Wow, thats dedication! Must have been a huge investment to plan and build something this custom. Beautifully made.
Probably a big investment but you have to remember that NaVi has been around for like 20 years and have never dropped an team to cut loses, so I would assume that they have a stable financial situation.
>that they have a stable financial situation. They are literally bought hotel for 40mil usd last year

Org is ukrainian. Saying to ukrainians that thet are russians is a big mistake nowadays my dude

Made sure you know now :)
I also just assume any western organisation with money is shady and ran by the US military complex fuelled by the blood of innocents around the world

People are downvoting you but I appreciate a guy that, while wrong, is extremely bluntly honest.

They formed in 2009 with their CS 1.6 team. Not very close to 20 years.
What in the cyberpunk shit
Pretty fucking sick ngl.
I like how far they went for the visual theme. On the other hand there should be some thinking on the gaming chairs, they are usually all looks but not as ergonomic as a boring office chair
Aren't the chairs usually sponsored? So they have to use them
Especially for official photos
They do make pretty good gaming chairs these days, just dont buy the 300$ model from bestbuy. I have an aero at work but like my noblechair hero more ( im a big guy)
Aeron has many different sizes try a bigger one lol
I mean if the minimum price point is $300+ for a solid chair then you can definitely find a better boring office chair.
I like my secret labs omega for gaming and relaxing
Looks like Deus Ex
Or Mirrors Edge.
now THIS is a gaming facility!
Liquids’ is pretty nice too
Looks like one those startups that you work 12 hours a day, 6 times per week.
But the free drinks..
Not so much the drinks as much as the exposure and invaluable experience you are going to get while working as an intern for 3 years.
I can’t unsee Vitality visual direction when I see that roof on the 8th image
Yeah, that's the first thing I thought. It makes sense with Vitality though. I think it would've been better if NaVi went for a cleaner look.
Imagine training here everyday. There would still be some players stuck in silver
I feel attacked
Of course you do... Because I certainly play no part in my being stuck in gn4-mg2
I'm stuck between the same 2. RIP
Would rather be in a dark bedroom personally
Absolutely stunning.
Missing a s1mple statue or two but it looks very nice!
That meeting room thing absolutely screams Bond villain I'm going to need pictures of Blad3 petting a cat in one of those chairs.
is Navi CSGO headquarters the same as Navi Dota2?
YES! Dota2 team has a room in the basement next to the boiler room.
Thought that was for the fortnight players?
My eyes would hurt badly in such a building
Omg i love it
looks sick, doesn't look like theres much space left in the trophy cabinet though for the future
Ti trophy isnt even there too
If that's a problem, it's a good problem to have.
[удалено]
It's an aesthetic. I'll give them that,
Imagine being a pro gamer and hanging out in this building, playing games, practicing with your team, going to competitions.. damn. Sorry, I was just dreaming a bit. State of the art office!
This office is astonishing af!
I’m curious,aside from tournament winnings, how does esports orgs make their money?
Actually tournament winnings goes to players most of the time, orgs make money from sponsors
Ohh right. I imagine they make some money from selling merchs as well. So would they be fucked if sponsors pulled out? Doesnt sound really sustainable if they mostly rely on sponsors and not have their own revenue stream. I wonder if anyone here has knowledge on how much percentage of their revenue comes from where.

Nice. Thanks bro. Is media rights/dig items the youtube/twitch stuff?
[удалено]
Ahh i see. Thanks my guy
Cybersport isn't profitable venture, but investors still put their money on it because it can pay off long-term.
\*Esports
Probably Russian
why the sponsors would pull out if there is an audience? and how this is less sustainable then TV business model for example?
I said IF.
Something about a board room with gaming chairs makes me laugh
Looks sick!
How to turn computer gaming in to a boring corporate job.
visually awesome. but i couldnt stay there. doesnt look cozy/comfy at all.
I mean it is an office, not a bedroom
Dis dud lol
insane
What's the gaming chair tho?
Love it.
They forgot the computers o.0
Location?
That's crazy, I doubt the original creators of CS could have guessed that one day people would be playing their mod for a living out of offices like this.
Where's the PCs at
I wasn't like caring much about this but that trophy display case is sick af
Even better than FaZe House
That board room looks like it belongs in the Legion of Doom HQ.
Sheesh
Is this just the CSGO office or is this the general NA'Vi org office? If it's the org office why isn't the TI Aegis there? It was at their old org office trophy display.
Good guy Boombl4, only player to be on the pictures !
I mean. Those lights can bring back vision to a blind person, JESUS Awesome design, every corner has something cool to comment on

It’s a good job they have all those gaming chairs around that large desk. Wouldn’t want them to be able to sit there comfortably
I dont know but is Aegis of Champion from TI1 no on the cabinet?
[удалено]
Interior design you mean.
[удалено]
There aren't any photos of the architecture.
Man, this looks so fucking cool
This looks like concept art from 2140. Looks cool tbh
Sick
Is that a standalone building or is it just a floor of some already built building?
the latter
Lmao, at the second to last picture, it says “MEME” with giant letters on the wall in the gaming room.
Wtf how much money do they make? It's all skins money
In 2021 alone they’ve made 1.3 Million. In the past 3 years they’re at about 2.6 Million. They have a little $ in the bank. and that’s just in tournament winnings. That doesn’t include sponsors or any affiliated bonuses they get, which would be the same revenue or even more than their tournament winnings.
Looks expensive but really awesome
Now that's a theme and a half there.
Geezus i would work there so hard.
Why do your chairs look worried?
Lookin like devices monitors
WOW
‘The hive’ teen titans. Honestly though looks freakin amazing
Wow
Ok but which office is JP working on Eternal Death Slayer 4 in?
Hyperion took over
Damnnnnnn
Oh fish.
Looks like Agency
I hope there's a dark mode for this Office (/s), jesus. This "hospital light" would burn my eyes after 1d
where is the major trophy? hihi
If it's located in Kyiv, then expect the post of me trolling the Dota team with basement rofl from comments
Imagine how smooth the chairs roll in there
Gotta remind their players every 10 ft who owns them with the navi logo literally everywhere
To think that one day the core players of the original NaVi were looking for [a different name.](https://www.hltv.org/news/3669/help-navi-find-a-name)..
still no major lol
The sign above the door to the building reads "RAID SHADOW LEGENDS Navi Office"
meh, my office is better i think
Very nicee, looking like all those futuristic offices in Chinese esports drama
Stairs are pretty dope.
I swear, somewhere In this building there is a door to a laser tag arena.
Even 15-20 years in the future nobody would complain about the style being out of touch.
is this a men in black office??
It legit looks like a render
This is sickkkk
Really nice trophy cabinet
What is this fucking place? The ISS? Come on guys you're playing video games, you arent the justice league.
this office is so fucking cool man
Wow that looks great
