IEM Beijing 2026: vs B8

Following their defeat to FURIA (1 : 2) in the upper bracket semifinals of Group A at IEM Beijing 2026, the NAVI CS2 team have no room for error.

To reach the playoffs, NAVI must win two matches in a row today. Their first opponent will be B8: the match starts at 05:30 CET and will be played in a best-of-3 format. If NAVI win, they will return to action at 10:30 CET to face the winner of Falcons vs HEROIC.

B8 started their group stage campaign with a loss to HEROIC (4 : 13 Nuke, 7 : 13 Dust 2), but managed to bounce back in the lower bracket and eliminate Legacy, who have secured a direct invitation to Stage 3 of PGL Major Singapore 2026 (13 : 11 Dust 2, 6 : 13 Cache, 13 : 9 Mirage).

NAVI and B8 have met three times in 2026, most recently in April at IEM Rio 2026. Our team came out on top in all three encounters. We hope for another victory today. Tune in and support NAVI!
