Esports World Cup 2025: vs. 3DMAX

Today, NAVI CS2 team begins its path at the main tournament of the summer — Esports World Cup 2025 with a $1,250,000 prize pool

This year, the competition format has been switched to a Single Elimination system, which means the teams have no right to a mistake.

In the first round, Born to Win will face 3DMAX; their best-of-3 bout starts at 13:00 CEST. Recently, the French team has considerably improved its standing on the world stage and is now 14th in the HLTV.org rankings.

The last meeting between today’s opponents took place at BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025. The match turned out to be incredibly tense, and the winner was determined only in the last round of regular time, when NAVI won 16 : 14 on Inferno.

NAVI enter the Esports World Cup as the reigning champions: In last year's final, our team defeated G2 2 : 1 and earned $400,000. We hope today we will start our journey with a victory as well.
