NAVI Form & Performance
NAVI are one of the most well-known Dota 2 organizations, but for several seasons the team has not been performing at a very high level. The situation started to improve in the middle of last season after NAVI Junior was promoted to the main roster.
The team’s first major tournament was the Esports World Cup 2025, where NAVI performed at the expected level. In the group stage, the team managed to secure 2nd place in their group, but in the Elimination Stage they lost to Team Falcons and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 9th–12th place.
At the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year, The International 2025, NAVI disappointed their fans. The team managed to secure only one victory — a 2–0 win over HEROIC — while the rest of the matches, although played decently, ended in defeats, resulting in a 14th–15th place finish.
A new stage for NAVI began in the autumn season when the team changed their coach — Cy- from Gaimin Gladiators took over the role.
NAVI performed successfully at DreamLeague Season 27: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and RES Unchained: BLAST Slam IV Europe Closed Qualifier, winning both events and securing slots at the main tournaments.
The next major tournament for NAVI was BLAST Slam IV, where the first improvements in gameplay became noticeable. In the Group Stage, the team finished with a 6–5 record and even managed to defeat Team Liquid. However, they lost in the Play-In and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 7th–8th place.
At PGL Wallachia Season 6, NAVI performed slightly below expectations. In the Group Stage, the team finished with a 2–3 record and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 9th–11th place.
BLAST Slam V became NAVI’s best tournament of the 2025 season. Although the team showed mixed results in the Group Stage, they defeated Tidebound in the Play-In and advanced to the playoffs. In the playoff quarterfinals, NAVI lost to MOUZ and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 5th–6th place.
At DreamLeague Season 27, NAVI performed slightly worse. The team finished the Group Stage with a 3–3 record and were eliminated from the tournament, finishing in 9th–16th place.
NAVI started the 2026 season with a victory at RES Unchained 3: BLAST Slam VI Europe Closed Qualifier and secured a slot at the main event.
NAVI also participated in DreamLeague Season 28: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and played against stronger opponents, finishing in the top 4 and earning a place at the main event.
Thanks to their improved level of play, NAVI have started to be perceived as a solid mid-tier team at the professional Dota 2 level. However, the team is still young and not consistent enough, so they still need to work on many aspects to progress even further.
