Group Stage
Na’Vi kicked off the event with a nail-biting victory over mousesports in the 1st round of the upper bracket. This got them into the 2nd round versus Virtus.pro in which Na’Vi won 2-0. From there, the team moved on to play #1 team in the world at the moment Gambit Esports. Here Gambit showed for another time why they are the best team out there, and took down Natus Vincere 2-1.
Playoffs
Even though Natus Vincere only placed 2nd in their group, they were still qualified for the playoffs. Here they first met against FURIA Esports in the quarterfinals in a best of 3. The first map was tiresome, consisting of 41rounds in total went towards the Brazilian squad. However the two maps that followed were in the hands of Na’Vi. Their next opponent was Heroic, another team that has been very dominant in 2021. It was a very close series overall, but in the end, it was Na’Vi that progressed.
Grand Finals
The finals were between Natus Vincere, and the team that beat them in the group stage, Gambit Esports. Gambit have become familiar with the Grand Final series’ and have been an avid winner of them too. This time round it was not to be however, as Na’Vi carried the momentum from the playoffs onto the finals, winning all 3 maps in a row. Here are the final moments of the third map:
