Esports World Cup 2026: vs 3DMAX

Today, NAVI's CS2 team will begin their run at the biggest esports festival of the summer — Esports World Cup 2026. A total of 32 teams will compete not only for $ 2,000,000 in prize money but also for 3,350 EWC Club Championship points.

Following the draw, the Born to Win were placed in Group D, where they will face 3DMAX in their opening match. The best-of-1 encounter will start at 18:30 CEST.

The teams last met in March at ESL Pro League Season 23 Stage 2, where NAVI claimed a 2 : 1 victory. Since then, the French team has made one roster change: Kursy, formerly of GamerLegion, replaced Ex3rcice.

We believe our team can secure a victory today and face the winner of magic / MongolZ on August 15 in a match for a spot in the playoffs.
