NAVI — ESL Pro League Season 23 champions

The NAVI CS2 team defeated Aurora 3:1 to become the champions of the ESL Pro League Season 23 LAN finals. Born to Win not only earned $100,000 but also significantly improved their position in Valve’s world ranking.

NAVI began their run from the second online stage, which was played in a Swiss format. Our team suffered defeats to G2 (1:2) and Legacy (0:2) but managed to overcome Monte (2:1), B8 (2:0), and 3DMAX (2:1).

The final stage of the tournament went more smoothly for Born to Win. In the quarterfinals NAVI had little trouble defeating The MongolZ (2:0), and in the semifinals they stopped an in-form FUT (2:1).

In the grand final NAVI confidently defeated Aurora on four maps and deservedly lifted the championship trophy. Congratulations to NAVI on an outstanding performance, and we look forward to the BLAST Open Spring 2026 matches, which begin on March 18.
