The final duel of PGL Major 2021 began on Ancient, which became G2's choice. At the same time, the first half was held in an equal vein, since none of the teams could put together an economy and come out ahead. However, the side switching clearly helped NAVI test the waters, because after losing the pistol round, the team began to feel the opponent, gradually hitting his economy. As a result, a series of victorious rounds allowed the Born to Win to run ahead, and at the same time formalize the victory at the opponent's pick - 16:11.

It all ended on the Nuke map, which, as expected, was chosen by the NAVI team. At the same time, the first half also began with an equal fight, apart from the fact that G2 started in defense. However, just before the change of sides, the Balkan-French felt the thread, thereby managing to break away from the opponent - 10: 5. The second half started with an overwhelming advantage from G2, who quickly took round 15. Nevertheless, from a score of 10:15, the NAVI team made a comeback, having managed to transfer the fate of the card to overtime. Here "Born to Win" did not let go of G2, becoming the winner of PGL Major Stockholm 2021 - 22:19.

After this victory, NAVI earned $ 1,000,000, as well as 1,800 and 4,000 points in the ESL Pro Tour and BLAST Premier leaderboards, respectively. In turn, the G2 team was content with only $ 300,000 in prize money.
