Competitive Dota 2 team Natus Vincere (Na`Vi) has today debuted its controversial new player recycling program, which marks the beginning of the team’s move towards renewable sources of big plays.

“Players, like old strategies, are an important renewable resource,” said one Na`Vi competitive climate change expert, who stated that the new roster changes have already saved the team money. “We already have pictures of them in Na`Vi jerseys so we did not need to hire a photographer.”

Na`Vi also added a new player, Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev, who appears to only speak in variations of film quotes from the popular Star Wars character Admiral Ackbar.

“We had no choice, Power Rangers cannot repel salaries of this magnitude,” said Butaev when asked about his leaving the PR roster on March 20. “Vanskor, take evasive action!”

“You have served the Empire well, my young Funn1k. But now you serve me,” said Natus Vincere Emperor Alexander “ZeroGravity” Kokhanosvkyy who slowly pulled up the hood of his black and yellow hoodie while Dmitriy “LighTofHeaveN” Kupriyanov stood behind him, telekinetically moving things with his indigo child mind.

ZeroGravity added: “The Alliance… will die.”

Earlier this year, ASUS.Bothan spy Alexander “DkPhobos” Kucheria infiltrated Natus Vincere and obtained information that the team is constructing a superweapon capable of destroying any CIS team with a single roster change.

Sources say former Alliance player Jerry “EGM” Lundkvist has been secretly training in a Swedish swamp with Master Loda in preparation for his eventual return at TI5.

“Gggggaaaaaaarrrrr!” growled Henrik “AdmiralBulldog” Ahnberg. “Rrarawwwwrr.”
