Navigram #14: July tournaments
Best pictures of July!
We are in the middle of the hot summer months, but things have not slowed down for NAVI.GG.BET. Our CS:GO lineup made several appearances at different LANs, the PUBG team qualified for and then attended PGI 2018 LAN in Berlin, and Paladins players took part in the US event.
Although our players are fully concentrated on practicing and playing official matches, they always find time to share pictures and day-to-day updates with their followers. For today's NAVIGRAM, we've put together a compilation of Natus Vincere's most interesting posts over the past few weeks, so let's dive right in!
The fourth event of our summer itinerary was , the event with a whopping $ 1,000,000 prize pool. After successfully passing the group, we met Team Liquid in the playoffs.
Liquid proved stronger on their home arena, but we gained some truly valuable experience and tested some new strategies before the Fall major.
Although we couldn't continue our winning streak, the fans who supported us live from the G-FUEL ELEAGUE Arena came up to take pictures and sign stuff. You always give us energy! We are looking forward to meeting you at DreamHack!
Our CS:GO manager Eugene "ugin" Yerofeyev took a selfie with Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovacs. It's always great to meet our ex-players and old friends at the championships.
Trips to the United States are always so fun! This time, aside from the venue and, traditionally, a barbershop, our CS:GO squad visited the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta.
Before starting our US adventure, we paid another great country a visit. Having a long history of triumphs in Germany, we secured yet another trophy — Natus Vincere wins ESL One Cologne 2018!
Take a look at the marvelous cup which has appeared in our collection! It's our second ESL One trophy. Will we get the third one?
Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev was awarded an ESL One Cologne 2018 MVP medal to add to his collection of those from StarLadder S5, CS:GO Asia Championships 2018 and other tournaments.
Here's to a happy coach! Congratulations to Mikhail "Kane" Blagin on three tournament wins and an excellent summer season!
Meanwhile, our PUBG players were preparing for the major. At the Natus Vincere bootcamp house, they practiced and played table tennis in their spare time.
The boys did their best to prepare well for the PUBG Global Invitational 2018, where they represented CIS alongside AVANGAR.
PGI 2018 attracted many fans who tuned in online and in the audience. The championship featured several stages for different game modes as well as a show match starring well-known streamers and bloggers.
The Berlin event was a real test of stamina for us: the players finished in the top ten in the , and in the top 4 in the . Next time, we'll surely try to improve this result and secure the first place!
Not only battles against other teams, but also historical places, local architecture and different media projects will be remembered after PGI. We had a great time indeed!
In case you missed the game between NAVI and
AVANGAR, here's an exclusive shot from the middle of the battle.

Only the Dota 2 scene is quieter nowadays. Our players are spending summer days with their charming girlfriends. Our FIFA player, Yevhen "Yozhyk" Mostovyk is on vacation, too, with his beautiful wife and a little son.
Alexander "XBOCT" Dashkevich headed to the US's DOTA Summit 9, where he joined the analyst panel and is now planning to do a long tour around America. Who knows what surprises it will bring!
Congratulations to Aleksey Kostyliev, who has finally bought the motorbike of his dreams! Our designer Katerina "dramacat" Rudenko has some great news, too – her forearm tattoo is finally finished.
Maksym Fedorchuk, our second designer, is hard at work. During the breaks, he likes to skateboard around the office.
A small inspiration boost from our cameraman Kostya "PrinZe" Zagrebelnyi. Kyiv is no worse than American large cities and European capitals!
