NAVI are the runners-up of BLAST Open Spring 2026
No surprises in the grand final: NAVI were unable to stop Vitality’s era in CS2, losing the series 0 : 3. Despite fighting on every map, their opponents proved stronger and closed out the series confidently. As a result, Born to Win secured silver medals and earned $ 60,000 in prize money.
NAVI’s run at the tournament began with the group stage: victories over B8 (2 : 1), Falcons (2 : 1), and Aurora (2 : 0) allowed the team to advance to the playoffs from first place. In the decisive stage, held at Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam, the Black-and-Yellow defeated PV (2 : 1) in a tense match, but were unable to overcome Vitality’s dominance in the final.
A strong performance at the tournament once again proved that NAVI are currently the second-strongest CS2 team in the world.
The next event for Born to Win will be Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2026. The tournament will take place from April 13 to 19 in Brazil, where 16 teams will compete for a $ 300,000 prize pool.
