NAVI Junior — champions of Thunderpick WC 2025: European Series #1!

The Born to Win CS2 youth roster confidently defeated ECSTATIC 2 : 1 in the Thunderpick World Championship 2025: European Series #1 Grand Final and claimed the championship title.

The victory earned NAVI Junior $20,000 and made us the first team to receive an invite to the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 closed qualifier. There, 4 slots will be up for grabs to enter the prestigious LAN tournament with a $850,000 prize pool, which will take place this October in Malta.

The closed qualifier is scheduled for September, giving the team plenty of time to prepare. On the way to the title, NAVI Junior won four matches — against Sashi, RUBY, Astrum, and ECSTATIC — without dropping a single map.

Congratulations on a well-deserved victory! We now look forward to NAVI Junior’s next match in ESL Challenger League Season 49: Europe, as the team faces RUSH B at 20:00 CEST today.
