IEM Beijing 2026: vs PV

After a short break, the NAVI CS2 team returns to action at IEM Beijing 2026, the last major tournament before PGL Major Singapore 2026. Our opponents in the quarterfinals will be PV. The match will begin at 07:30 CET and will be played in a best-of-3 format.

The Born to Win reached the playoffs after finishing third in Group A. During the group stage, NAVI defeated Falcons twice, including in the decisive match for a playoff spot, beat B8, and lost to FURIA.

PV finished second in Group B. The team started their campaign with victories over G2 (2 : 1) and Liquid (2 : 0), but were unable to put up much of a fight against MOUZ (0 : 2) in the upper bracket final.

NAVI and PV have faced each other three times this year. The Born to Win came out on top at IEM Kraków 2026 in late January and BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 in late March, winning both matches 2 : 1. However, PV got their revenge in early October at ESL Pro League Season 24, securing a victory by the same scoreline. PV currently sit 13th in the HLTV.org world ranking and 11th in the live VRS ranking.

We hope NAVI put on a strong performance and advance to the semifinals, where The MongolZ are already waiting for them.
