The International 2025: Qualifiers begin

Today at 18:00 CEST, NAVI will kick off their journey in the Eastern Europe qualifiers for The International 2025. Their first opponent in the Double Elimination bracket will be Runa Team.

It’s worth noting that this team previously became one of the winners of the open qualifiers and has already played one match in the closed stage, where they defeated eSpoiled with a 2:0 score.

The roster of Runa Team features a solid group of players who’ve been competing on the Dota 2 pro scene for quite some time — including shigetsu and Nicky`Cool, who formerly represented NAVI.

Fans can expect a very exciting match today. We’re confident that NAVI have prepared well for the start of the qualifiers and will give it their all!
