IEM Rio 2026: vs FURIA

After yesterday’s victory over B8 (2 : 1), NAVI’s CS2 team continue their strong run in the group stage of IEM Rio 2026. Today, Born to Win will face FURIA: the winner secures a playoff spot, while the loser will fight for the remaining slot in the lower bracket.

The match against the Brazilian squad begins at 20:00 CEST and will be played in a best-of-3 format. In their previous game, FURIA left no chance for Passion UA, claiming confident wins on two maps — 13 : 3 on Inferno and 13 : 7 on Mirage.

The last time NAVI faced FURIA was in February at IEM Kraków 2026, where the Born to Win fell 1 : 2. Currently, the Brazilians are ranked 7th in the Valve ranking and 3rd in the HLTV ranking.

We believe NAVI can secure a win today and lock in their spot in the IEM Rio 2026 playoffs.
