NAVI Secure Two Wins and Advance to the Upper Bracket Final at EWC 2025: Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier
Greetings to all Dota 2 and Natus Vincere fans! After an unsuccessful run in the closed qualifiers for The International 2025, NAVI continue their season by competing in upcoming events. This time, the team is taking part in the Esports World Cup 2025: Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier, and we’re here to share how things are going so far.

To begin with, it’s worth mentioning that NAVI Junior also participated in the qualifiers and secured a spot at the Esports World Cup. Natus Vincere were directly invited to the Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier, giving them another opportunity to qualify for one of the biggest tournaments of the year.
In their opening match, NAVI faced eSpoiled as the favorites, but the series proved to be tougher than expected. After a confident win on the first map, the opponents bounced back to level the score. However, on the third map, Natus Vincere stepped up their game and left no chance for eSpoiled. The team’s carry, Yuragi, playing Sven, finished the match without a single death. The series ended with a 2-1 victory for NAVI.
In the Upper Bracket Semifinals, NAVI went up against One Move — a team frequently seen in major qualifier events. This time, the series was far more straightforward. Natus Vincere dominated both maps in under 25 minutes, sealing a clean 2-0 win. With that, NAVI advanced to the Upper Bracket Final, where they’ll face Cyber Goose — the very team that knocked them out of the TI 2025 qualifiers. This rematch presents the perfect opportunity for revenge and a step closer to the main event.
If NAVI win their next match, they’ll move on to the Qualifying Matches stage, where they’ll play for a spot at the Esports World Cup 2025.
