NAVI’s first match at VALORANT EMEA Clash 2026

Today, NAVI’s VALORANT roster begins its journey at the online VALORANT EMEA Clash 2026 tournament. The event features Tier-2 teams that qualified through the open qualifiers, as well as Tier-1 teams that failed to make it to VCT Masters.

Born to Win will face ULF in their opening match. ULF secured a 2:0 victory over Beşiktaş in an intense Turkish derby in their first game. The match starts at 19:00 and will be played in a best-of-3 format.

The last and only time NAVI faced ULF was in June last year at BtcTurk GameFest. Back then, our team claimed a confident two-map victory. Since then, ULF have not made any roster changes.

At VALORANT EMEA Clash 2026, NAVI are playing with a stand-in: Ruxic, who is currently undergoing physiotherapy, will be temporarily replaced by 18-year-old Ukrainian player Kolosha, who has not previously competed on the Tier-1 stage.
