NAVI stopped in the semifinals of IEM Rio 2023

Based on the results of the match against Heroic, Born to Win will leave IEM Rio 2023. Our lineup showed decent play in the last tournament before the major and earned $20 000.

The competition started for us with a quiet passage through Group A, where the team showed progress on Mirage and outplayed TheMongolz (16 : 9).

In the first best of 3 in Rio, our team met with NIP. The opponents picked Mirage again and made a mistake, because NAVI was ready for that (16 : 10). The next Ancient in this match was a continuation of the win-streak (16 : 13).

In the final of the upper grid of Group A, BIG was unexpectedly waiting for the Born to Win. The German squad was able to advance to the playoffs after that match, but couldn't resist our team (22 : 20 Mirage, 16 : 8 Inferno).

After reaching the semi-finals, NAVI was waiting for their opponent based on the results of Heroic-Furia, where the Danish squad passed on thanks to their experience. The first Overpass of our match reached the third round of overtimes, which ended not in our favor (25 : 22 Overpass). After an upsetting loss, NAVI could not take their card and lost 0 : 2.

Based on the results of the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023, NAVI took 3rd-4th place, earning $ 20 000.

Thanks to all of the team's fans for their support. No need to despair: ahead the main tournament of the year - BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. This Major Championship will be the last CS:GO event! #ObsessedWe
