NAVI confidently claimed the title of StarLadder Series Fall 2025 champions, defeating NiP 2:0 in the grand final. The victory brought the Ukrainian team $200,000 in prize money and secured them a direct invitation to the second stage of the Major in Budapest.

Nuke (13:7 NAVI)

The match began on Nuke, NiP’s map pick. The first half on their own choice ended with only a slight advantage for the Swedish squad at 5:7. However, once switching to the T side, NAVI dictated the pace of the game and closed the map 13:7 in their favor.

Inferno (13:10 NAVI)

On their pick, Inferno, NAVI started in disastrous fashion. NiP dominated from the very first round, stringing together 8 consecutive wins, which gave them a crucial lead both in rounds and economy. The first half ended 9:3. But after the side switch, NiP lost focus and managed to secure just a single round, which allowed NAVI to complete an impressive comeback and finish the map 13:10.

Match MVP

The best player of the match was Mihai "iM" Ivan, who stepped up in crucial moments. His final stats: ADR – 95.1, Swing +3.20%, and a 1.49 rating.
