EWC 2025 EMEA Qualifier: NAVI's first match

At 18:00 today, NAVI VALORANT team begins their journey in the qualifier for one of the season’s key tournaments: the Esports World Cup 2025.

The competition will be fierce: only two of the ten participating teams will make it to Riyadh.

To advance through the first stage, teams must place in the top two of the Double-Elimination bracket. Then, the four top finishers will face off again in the same bracket, where the winners receive the EWC slots.

In the opening round, NAVI will take on the European team Gentle Mates, featuring Zyppan, who represented the black-and-yellow colors last season. The updated rosters are yet to meet this split, adding intrigue to the match-up.

The series will be played in a best-of-3 format. We believe Born to Win will kick off their qualifier run to the Esports World Cup with a confident victory.
