IEM Kraków 2026: vs. PV

After the winter break, NAVI’s CS2 matches are back. Today the team kicks off their run at the iconic IEM tournament, which has moved from Katowice to Kraków this year.

The tournament format remains unchanged: three teams from each Double Elimination group advance to the playoffs, while the group winner goes straight to the semifinals.

NAVI’s opponents in the opening round of Group A will be PV. The match is set to start at 14:00 and will be played in a best-of-3 format.

It’s worth noting that PV have been showing impressive form in 2026. The team claimed the BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 title, defeating Team Spirit, FURIA, and Falcons along the way, and also cruised through the IEM Kraków 2026 Play-In stage, eliminating Heroic and Aurora. At the moment, PV sit sixth in the HLTV.org rankings and third in the Valve ranking.

It will be interesting to see what NAVI can show today. We’re looking forward to some beautiful CS2 — something we’ve definitely missed.
