Summary:
What happens when you throw a bunch of teamless top tier players from America (and one from Canada) together and give them a singular goal? A surprise team that storms gates of the America's Qualifier and secures themselves a guaranteed invite to the biggest eSports event to date. Natus Vincere's US squad was originally founded just 3 months ago as North American Rejects--a tongue in cheek name for a collection of 5 players who had bounced around some of North America's premier teams over the past 3+ years.
North American Rejects was formed with the sole purpose of securing a spot in the tournament for these 5 players, all of whom were looking to return to the big stage after playing for various teams in The International 2013. It looks as though their plan worked, having gone 8-2 in the Group Stage and then swept the heavily favored Team Liquid 2-0 in the Upper Bracket before an intense 3-2 victory over Team Liquid in the Grand Finals. Although not the top dogs they were following TI3, Team Liquid--Korok's former team--is the highest placing American team to date, so beating them was what you may call a rite of passage.
Shortly after securing a spot in the TI4 main event, North American Rejects were picked up by the most unlikely of organizations, Natus Vincere. It's very unusual for gaming organizations to have multiple teams (although LGD and OK.Nirvana have had Chinese and International teams) but surprisingly fitting considering the saying from TI2; "Na`vi, best team NA". Although that was referring to the European Na`vi organization, it will be interesting to see the two fact off.
The last major event Na'vi.US competed in was Beyond The Summit's The Summit, and against the might of top tier Chinese and European teams, they did not look nearly as prepared as they will need to be going into TI4. If Na`vi.US was to go for the gold, they are going to need to work as a more cohesive team, and broaden their skillset. For some odd reason their players have abandoned their previously signature heroes and tried to redefine themselves as players. Their players have the skill, they have the support of a major eSports organization, and at this point they have nothing to lose, but they still have to prove that Na`vi.US is best team NA by winning The International 2014.
