NAVI.GG.BET WHEN? – Eventful spring

Upcoming tournaments of the month!

Hey there,  NAVI supporters! Have you been following the Counter-Strike action at ESL Pro League Season 7 and watching Dota 2's latest majors and minors? Have you been celebrating recent victories of our Paladins roster with us? If so, we think we know what question is running in your mind – when will NAVI's next matches take place?

Today we are taking a look at the upcoming events that our squads will be attending and hope that this will get you excited for the month ahead! Are you ready to cheer for us?!

 COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE

ESL Pro League Season 7

With ESL Pro League S7 in full swing, the coming few months promise to be action-packed for our CS:GO players. Attentive fans know how much effort the boys have put forth to participate in the league's seventh season, as after the previous season concluded NAVI ended up in an unfortunate position, risking to lose their spot in the division, and were forced to go through relegation matches. Fast forward, the boys accomplished the task brilliantly, taking much-needed wins over  Space Soldiers and GODSENT.

The boys are currently competing against Europe's top teams over a spot on the main event. Since February 13, when the online stage began, they have played nine best-of-2 encounters and now have 35 points with 12 wins and 6 defeats. Still ahead are the battles against  mousesports, Astralis, Fnatic and  G2 Esports. The final matches of ESL Pro League S7 will be held in late April, and the LAN is scheduled for May 14-20. 

DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018

NAVI will have to tackle yet another test of stamina on April 18-22, when they will be taking on the world's strongest teams in France. Le Dôme de Marseille will bring together professional players and esports fans wishing to be part of DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018, and Natus Vincere are one of the direct invitees!

16 participating teams will compete for a share of the $ 250,000 prize pool and a chance of getting closer to $ 1,000,000, as this tournament counts towards the Intel Grand Slam. We're sure NAVI will do their best to join  SK Gaming, G2, FaZe Clan, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and  Fnatic! All of the aforementioned teams will be present at DreamHack Masters Marseille 2018, which means the tournament is sure to bring us excitement and thrills!

IEM Sydney 2018

The first event coming up in May is IEM Sydney 2018, which will be held at the 21,000-seat Qudos Bank Arena on May 1-6. Natus Vincere have received a direct invitation and will battle it out against 15 other contenders for the $ 250,000 prize pool!

CS:GO Asia Championships

The sensational CS:GO Asia Championships, organized by Perfect World and PGL, is likely to be analogous to the annual Dota 2 Asia Championships, which has been getting mainly positive feedback from both spectators and players. The debut event for Counter-Strike will be held in China in early summer, but the official date is yet to be announced. NAVI have been directly invited and thus have an opportunity to take home $ 300,000!

 Dota 2

SLi Invitational Season 5

NAVI Dota 2 roster will be taking part in Starladder's third major, StarLadder ImbaTV Invitational Season 5, on April 12-15. Our boys will return to their home ground to battle it out against 7 other teams. The event has a prize pool of $ 300,000 and 300 qualifying points counting towards The International 2018 up for grabs.

Alongside the black-and-yellow five, the event features 7 teams representing 6 regions. The most dangerous of these are the Chinese teams  LGD Gaming and  VGJ.Thunder, the Americans of  OpTic Gaming, and the  Fnatic five, with whom we will fight in round 1 of the group stage.  FlyToMoon, another CIS representative, are coming in as dark horses. 

EPICENTER XL

Next, NAVI will participate in a long-awaited CIS major! As has been previously reported, the boys have been directly invited to Moscow, where the third tournament of the EPICENTER series will take place. VTB Ice Palace has been chosen as a venue and will stage the main event on April 27 through May 6.

There will be 12 teams competing for the $ 1,000,000 prize pool and 1,500 qualifying points. The CIS division will be represented by 4 teams, namely  NAVI and Virtus.pro, who have been directly invited,  Team Empire, who qualified through the regional qualifier, and Madness Qualifier triumphant  FlyToMoon. Aside from these, we will see the leaders of the Dota Pro Circuit ranking in action, as  Team Secret, Team Liquid, and other teams will also be in attendance! This show is certainly not to miss!

 Paladins

Paladins Premier League

Paladins fans have long waited for the spring split of the Paladins Premier League to begin, and finally, they can enjoy its matches! The second season of the online league kicked off on March 24, with NAVI fighting in the European division. NAVI have come in as reigning champions and will have to defeat with  Ninjas in Pyjamas, mousesports, Virtus.pro and  Fnatic to defend their title.

The format of the PPL's spring split is similar to that of the previous season: the teams meet each other twice in best-of-5 matches, and the games are traditionally held on weekends. It's worth noting that only 2 top-placed representatives of the European and American divisions will advance to the LAN stage. With each week, our boys are approaching their goal – they have already outplayed NiP, Virtus.pro, and mousesports! This weekend, we are facing Fnatic and Ninjas! Cheer for us!

 FIFA 18

FUT Champions #2

Natus Vincere's FIFA player,  Yevhen "Yozhyk" Mostovyk, is also getting ready to step into competition. He displayed great performance in the Weekend League qualification and secured himself an opportunity to take part in FUT Champions # 2. On April 13-15, 128 of the world's strongest players will clash for $ 200,000 in the city which is synonymous with football – Manchester! Half of the contenders will play on the PlayStation 4, and others will use the Xbox One. 32 players of each division will advance to the playoffs.

The tension is thick in the air as eight strongest participants will get straight into the FIFA 18 Global Series playoffs in June. In addition, we'll see a unique match in Manchester – the Super Final, which will be played between the winners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One divisions to determine the absolute champion! Of course, Yozhyk will try to put his best foot forward to show what he's capable of and bring delight to his fans!  #gonavi
