ESL Pro League S7 Finals recap

The Season 7 is over

NAVI.GG.BET completed the performance in the ESL Pro League S7, losing in the semi-final to Team Liquid (0:2). This match took place on Dust2 ( Liquid's pick) and Inferno ( Natus Vincere pick). The rounds on the first map mostly unfolded under the control of NAVI, and at some point, the guys led with a score of 12:6, but they could not bring the game home - the map ended in defeat with a score of 14:16.

On Inferno, the game did not seem to go our way at all, which brought the Born to Win only 5 points in the attack. And after the defeat in the pistol round for the defense, the fate of this game was predetermined (the final result - 10:16). Thus, our guys finished the tournament in the third-fourth places and earned $ 55,000.

Recall that the group stage of the tournament was stormed by NAVI with no defeats. In the starting match the guys beat MVP (16:7), after which they claimed the victory in the matches with Heroic (2:1) and FaZe Clan (2:0). More details on the results of the group stage can be found here. An interesting fact: NAVI played on 6 different maps during the tournament. All of them were played once, except for Mirage (3) and Train (0).

Finally, the best player with a sniper rifle from NAVI is, yet again, s1mple (0,27 frags on average per round).
