NAVI advance to IEM Cologne 2025 playoffs!

NAVI CS2 team defeated FaZe Clan in the final match of Group B to secure their playoff spot at the IEM Cologne 2025 tournament and contest the $1,000,000 prize pool!

On August 1, Born to Win will take the stage at Lanxess Arena to face their quarterfinals opponent - The MongolZ, who finished second in Group A.

IEM Cologne 2025 became the first tournament for the updated NAVI roster, as Drin "Makazze" Shaqiri made his main roster debut. The yellow-and-black team opened the group stage with a victory over FaZe Clan (11 : 13 Ancient, 13 : 9 Mirage, 13 : 5 Nuke), but then lost to MOUZ in the upper bracket semifinals (10 : 13 Mirage, 10 : 13 Nuke).

In the lower bracket, without the right to a mistake, Born to Win first knocked out Ninjas in Pyjamas (9 : 13 Nuke, 13 : 3 Inferno, 13 : 11 Train), and then FaZe (13 : 4 Ancient, 13 : 10 Inferno).

We congratulate the team on a confident start and look forward to a brilliant performance in the tournament playoffs! Look forward to a #NAVINATION fan sector in one of the Lanxess Arena zones.
