ESL Pro League Season 24: vs G2

Tomorrow at 19:30 CEST, NAVI's CS2 team will begin their ESL Pro League Season 24 Group Stage campaign in Katowice. The LAN tournament features a $1,000,000 prize pool.

According to the seeding, G2 will be Born to Win's opponents in the opening round. The match will be played in a best of 3 format.

NAVI and G2 last faced each other in late August at BLAST Open Porto 2026. G2 claimed a 2 : 0 victory on that occasion (6 : 13 Ancient, 10 : 13 Inferno).

Two other matches, at IEM Cologne Major 2026 and ESL Pro League Season 23 Stage 2, also went G2's way (1 : 2 and 1 : 2 respectively). However, NAVI secured a 2 : 0 victory at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 earlier this year. At the time, Ukrainian sniper r1nkle was not yet part of the G2 roster.

It is also worth noting that NAVI are the reigning ESL Pro League champions: in the Season 23 Grand Final in March, we defeated Aurora 3 : 1.

We hope NAVI can start the tournament with a victory and treat the fans to some great Counter-Strike.
