NAVI — EMEA League Champions!

PUBG Mobile / News / 26 October 2020 — 06:24

Congratulations with the victory!

Natus Vincere is your champions! The guys won not only part of the prize fund of $ 24,000, but also a trip to the LAN-tournament Global Championship 2020.

EMEA League matches were the debut for the new NAVI PUBG Mobile team. And they didn't disappoint! In the group stage, the squad didn't leave a chance to its rivals: at the end of two weeks, they scored 180 points and reached the final in the first place, earning $ 6 000.

The first matches in the finals were difficult (8th place in five matches), but the team spirit was not disrupted. Already on the second day NAVI moved to the second position, and after matches of the third game day, they became the first in the ranking. And held their positions until the end!

Alexander «Glory» Manoil

NAVI PUBG Mobile manager

"I'm glad that the guys were able to take first place in the EMEA League and get a ticket to the Global Championship. On the first day, they showed an insignificant result, but in the remaining three days they managed to rise to their actual level. I would also like to congratulate OldBoy on taking the MVP title.

At this moment our journey to Shanghai begins, where the guys will take part in the PEC. Due to age restrictions, ADERR and Lightning will play instead of Tixzy and Mequ at the tournament. We hope to show the same high-quality games against Chinese teams. Expect a lot of content from China! After the flight, the guys will go through a 14-day quarantine at the hotel, and after in the span of three days the tournament will be held with a prize fund of ¥ 12 000 000 (about $ 1 770 000)."

What are the first impressions of games under the NAVI tag? Did you feel the support of the fans? Maybe occasionally you were nervous, sensing responsibility for the result?

Vitaly «Matic» Shulga

NAVI PUBG Mobile Player

I'm just blown away, honestly! I am very pleased that the organization believed in us, and we did not disappoint and showed a worthy result. The support of the fans was an integral part of the tournament, which was a very strong motivation for an even more successful result.

The first day made us a little nervous, but we all understood that only five games had passed, there are still a lot more to come, we'll make a comeback.

Tell us how do you guys manage to hold the bar high and show great results: excellent communication, individual and team skill or something else?

Vitaly «Matic» Shulga

NAVI PUBG Mobile Player

I think the result is good because we initially have very strong individual players who have the same understanding of the game. It took us very little time to just play and show this result.

There were also rare unfortunate days. What did the team do after that: silently moved on, sat down to take apart the result, or something else?

Vitaly «Matic» Shulga

NAVI PUBG Mobile Player

When this happened, we just tried to understand where was the moment when everything went wrong. And after that, we tried to avoid such situations.

What are your plans for the near future? At what tournaments will we be able to see the team?

Vitaly «Matic» Shulga

NAVI PUBG Mobile Player

In the near future, we have two major tournaments in the LAN format, which will start soon. During the PEC, three players from our team will compete in another online tournament.

A few words for the fans?

Vitaly «Matic» Shulga

NAVI PUBG Mobile Player

Thank you very much for believing and supporting us, we are very happy to please you with beautiful matches and to read the words of support!

To the new tournaments and victories! #navination
