NAVI topped the list of the best CS: GO teams according to HLTV
At the top of the list of the best CS: GO teams according to HLTV, there have finally been changes. Gambit Esports, which had been at the top since April 12 of this year, lost the lead to their main principal rival from the CIS region, the Natus Vincere team. It seems that this time the phrase "NAVI new era" will sound without irony. "Born to Win" managed to reach their goal without having met with Gambit Esports even once during the entire time of the recently ended Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2021.
Recall that the last confrontation between NAVI and Gambti Esports took place on July 4 within the StarLadder CIS RMR 2021. Then Gambit, having an advantage of 1 map due to the fact that they reached the grand final through the upper bracket, won on the second map, and after that they lost all the remaining three maps to the players from NAVI and were defeated with a score of 2-3.
In the world ranking of HLTV, the alignment of teams in the top 10 has changed dramatically, with the exception of the third place. G2 Esports are the only ones who did not budge and remained in the third place in the list of the best. Gambit and Natus Vincere swapped places, Astralis and FaZe Clan gained 6 and 11 positions, respectively, and are now in 4th and 6th places, respectively. Virtus.proi also made a good leap, moving up from 9th to 5th place. Heroic, BIG, NiP and Vitality lost their positions, while mousesports left the top 10 altogether.
In the top twenty, Spirit and Liquid, together with Evil Geniuses and FPX Esports, gained one and two positions, while the rest of the teams moved down. ForZe is the only team that, like G2 Esports, has not changed its position in the list.
