EPL Season 23 — vs B8

Today at 14:00, NAVI’s CS2 team will play against B8 in the second stage of the ESL Pro League Season 23 online phase. The match will be played in a best-of-3 format.

Both teams come into the match with a 1–1 record. NAVI defeated Monte in their opening match, but yesterday they lost to G2 in a hard-fought series (13:7 Dust 2, 5:13 Mirage, 7:13 Ancient).

B8, meanwhile, started the tournament with an unexpected win over FURIA (2:1), and then faced Team Spirit, pushing the favorites hard across three maps (13:4 Mirage, 9:13 Nuke, 7:13 Anubis).

Last year, NAVI and B8 faced each other twice at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, and on both occasions our team secured a 2:0 victory. Since then, the Ukrainian roster has made one change, with 16-year-old player s1zzi replacing headtr1ck.
