The second day proved less successful: despite a top-three finish with 4 eliminations and another victory with 5 eliminations, the Born to Win dropped to fourth place with 78 points.

The final day was played under the match point format: to win the tournament, a team first had to reach 136 points and then finish first in one of the following matches. NAVI opened the day with a confident victory on the first map with 6 eliminations, but Virtus.pro, who were leading the standings, became the first team to reach match point.

In the following matches, NAVI continued to fight for a place in the top three and tried to challenge their opponents for the championship. In the end, the Born to Win scored 124 points and secured the bronze medals.

Our chess player Nodirbek Abdusattorov will be the next NAVI representative to compete at EWC in Paris. The matches in this discipline will take place from August 11 to 15.
