NAVI — your IEM Rio 2024 champions

CS2 / Coverage / 13 October 2024 — 21:55

Born to Win knocked out MOUZ and picked up their fourth tier-1 tournament win of the year! NAVI earned $ 100 000 for this performance.

Our team had a competitive group stage: the guys were stronger than Imperial and Liquid, but lost in the finals to FURIA (2 : 0), who had a quality performance at their home tournament.

By the quarterfinals of IEM Rio our squad approached as favorites and confirmed their status on two cards in a meeting with Outsiders (13 : 4 Inferno, 13 : 11 Ancient).

In the semifinals of IEM Rio 2024 NAVI found themselves in a very difficult position. After losing the first Ancient against Heroic (9 : 13) and losing 3 : 9 in the first half to Dust 2, our team was one step away from elimination. NAVI found the strength to come back at the opponent's choice (16 : 14), and then gave no chance at the decisive Mirage (13 : 6).

In the final Born to Win started the best of 5 match with a win on Inferno, which MOUZ chose (13 : 10), and then absolutely destroyed the opponent on Dust 2 (13 : 2). On Mirage MOUZ attempted a comeback (6 : 13), but on Ancient NAVI finally closed the best of 5 confrontation with confidence.

After a grueling series of tournaments Born to Win will get a well-deserved rest: next time they will play in BLAST World Final 2024, which will start on October 30 in Singapore.
