The History of nAv Gaming

nAv Gaming was founded in April 2003 by a group of guys from the southern town of Fish hoek in Cape Town.

The group was founded by Nathaneal "BurningRed" Slabbert (Current Founder) and Richard "Chemicalfire" Ferreira (aka Beetle001) under the name The Nav Clan. The clan started out as more of a social group more than anything else with the occasional LAN being organized where everyone would get together for a bit of fun whilst trying to grow the local gaming scene. Shortly thereafter, the group was renamed to simply nAv whereupon other gaming groups started surfacing such as K@O$ and Chickens of War (CoW). An intense rivalry formed between these groups at the local LANs (which incidentally were generally hosted by said groups).

nAv then decided to expand on their ambitions and started to the attend the larger and more structured LAN events such as Organised Chaos (OC). The clan began competing in games such as CS 1.5, Battle Field 1942, StarCraft Brood wars, Quake III and the Original Call of Duty. The other local gaming groups from Fish Hoek soon followed suite causing OC to become the most anticipated event of the month for the local clans as well as the venue for the fircest competition between them. It was at this time that nAv’s name changed yet again to Team nAv. The clan then experienced a dormant state as a result of personal and work commitments taking up more time for various members of the group.

nAv then resurfaced In the October of 2010, when Nathaneal "BurningRed" Slabbert decided to start things up again by recruiting online players ("THEone” and "0tolerance” being but two of the new recruits) to join the clan and represent nAv once more in the competitive scene. From there on nAv recruited the DotA All Stars team known at the time as Cross of Eight (Co8) which was founded by Nicolaas "Crimsoon" Swart. This started nAv off on the road to becoming a fledgling Multi Gaming Organisation (MGO). Early in 2011 nAv then recruited the CSS 1.6 team, with Saul "link" Tenzer taking on the role of captain. nAv then experienced it’s final name change, taking on its current and well known name of nAv Gaming. The MGO had developed decently sized member base which consisted of 3 CSS teams and 2 DotA All Stars teams.

Recently the FuBar MGO founded by Colin "JAN" Gloss joined up with nAv and today plays under the nAv banner. They consisted of teams such as NGL League of Legends Div1 Winners 2012 Have fun Mid and the COD 4 DGL team Insidious.

Today nAv Gaming has a member base of over 300, with teams in games such as League of Legends, DOTA 2, CS:GO, CoD 4 and FiFA as well as many affiliated social and casual players.
