NAVI finish second at BLAST Rivals Spring 2026

NAVI CS2 lost 0 : 3 to Vitality in the grand final of BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 and finished as the tournament runners-up. For their performance, Born to Win earned $ 75 000.

NAVI topped Group B after claiming two victories — against FaZe Clan (13 : 7 Anubis, 13 : 11 Ancient) and GamerLegion (13 : 10 Mirage, 13 : 4 Ancient).

In the first round of the playoffs, Born to Win once again faced FaZe Clan and repeated their success on two maps — 13 : 5 Dust 2, 13 : 11 Ancient.

In the grand final of BLAST Rivals Spring 2026, NAVI faced Vitality. This year, the teams had already met in the grand final of BLAST Open Rotterdam 2026 (0 : 3) and in the quarterfinals of IEM Rio 2026 (0 : 2).

Despite an extremely confident start on Vitality’s pick, Nuke, where NAVI were leading 11 : 1 after the first half, they were unable to close out the map. Vitality managed to force overtime and came out on top.

Unfortunately, on the remaining two maps, Vitality confirmed their status as the best team in the world at the moment and became the champions of BLAST Rivals Spring 2026.

Congratulations to NAVI on a well-deserved top-2 finish. We are already looking forward to the start of IEM Atlanta 2026, which will take place very soon — from May 11 to 17. Sixteen teams will compete for a $ 300 000 prize pool.

Tournament results:

1st place: Vitality — $ 125 000
2nd place: NAVI — $ 75 000
3rd–4th places: GamerLegion / FaZe Clan — $ 40 000 each
