NAVI Grandmaster Nodirbek Abdusattorov claimed two victories in Group A and secured his spot in the Esports World Cup 2026 playoffs!
This means he has already guaranteed himself at least $75,000 in prize money and earned 200 EWC Club Points for NAVI.
Nodirbek started his run with a 2 : 0 victory over S8UL representative Pranesh Munirethinam before facing Jan-Krzysztof Duda of Weibo in the qualification match. Our player once again gave his opponent no chance, securing another 2 : 0 win.
