Natus Vincere claim a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Team Next Level and advance to the Round of 16 at the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier. Despite losing the first map 14-16, NAVI managed to regroup and take the next two maps with scores of 13-5 and 13-9. The best performance came from NAVI’s Drin "makazze" Shaqiri, who earned a 1.36 rating across all maps. With this result, NAVI move on to the Round of 16 at BLAST Bounty Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier.
Map 1 – Ancient (16-14 TNL)
The first map came as a surprise to everyone, as most bookmakers and analysts gave Team Next Level virtually no chance. TNL made a good pick with Ancient and fought from the start. The teams switched sides at 5-7 and headed into overtime. There, Team Next Level displayed superior strategic play and closed out the map 16-14.
Map 2 – Nuke (13-5 NAVI)
This map was drastically different from the previous one, with NAVI dominating on their map pick. The team took control from the beginning, entering sites easily and planting the bomb. In the end, a straightforward 13-5 win for NAVI.
Map 3 – Mirage (13-9 NAVI)
The decider was Mirage. There was a lot of speculation before this map, and those expecting a close match were proven right. At halftime, the score was 7-5 in favor of the Born to Win, who likely didn’t expect such a strong performance from their opponent. In the second half, TNL continued to put up a fight, but their CT-side positioning left room for improvement. Ultimately, NAVI secured the map 13-9 and moved on to the next round of the BLAST Bounty Fall 2025: Closed Qualifier.
