Natus Vincere continues to cement their legacy as one of Counter-Strike’s most dominant forces in 2025, building momentum toward what could be their third consecutive Major championship. The Ukrainian organization, already holding the distinction of being the first team to win a Counter-Strike 2 Major at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, has maintained exceptional competitive form throughout the year.
NAVI’s 2025 campaign showcases remarkable consistency, with the team achieving a 90% win rate over their last 10 matches and an impressive 80% success rate in their most recent five encounters. This stellar performance spans 21 matches over the past three months, resulting in 15 victories and a solid 72% win percentage. Over the full year, their record stands at 47 wins from 70 matches, maintaining a respectable 68% win rate that demonstrates their sustained excellence at the highest level of competition.
The team’s recent tournament appearances highlight their championship caliber. At the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, NAVI secured a crucial 16-14 victory over 3DMAX on Inferno, positioning themselves just one step away from playoff qualification. This hard-fought win in the Swiss stage exemplifies the team’s ability to perform under pressure, with clutch plays and overtime heroics becoming their trademark. Their advancement through the PGL Astana 2025 tournament further reinforces their status as title contenders, where they secured playoff qualification with victories over M80, BIG, and Aurora.
Championship Pedigree and Historic Achievements
NAVI’s pursuit of a third Major title builds upon an unprecedented foundation of success. The organization holds multiple Counter-Strike records, including the most consecutive Major championships with four titles and the distinction of being the only team to participate in all 21 CS: GO and CS2 Majors. Their playoff appearances in 16 of these tournaments surpass even legendary teams like Fnatic, who have reached 13 Major playoffs.
The team’s historic achievement at PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where they became the first squad to win a Major without dropping a single map, demonstrates their capacity for dominant performances when it matters most. This flawless execution under the highest-pressure situations has become a defining characteristic of NAVI’s championship DNA.
Multi-Game Excellence and Organizational Depth

Their Dota 2 division actively competes in the Esports World Cup 2025 qualifiers, facing teams like eSpoiled and Runa Team in the Eastern European region. Despite a setback against Cyber Goose in the upper bracket final, the team continues fighting for qualification to the $3,000,000 tournament in Riyadh.
Interestingly, NAVI Junior has outperformed the main Counter-Strike roster financially in 2025, earning $198,000 compared to the main team’s $182,500 over six months. This success, highlighted by their $150,000 victory at YaLLa Compass Qatar 2025, showcases the organization’s comprehensive talent development system.
Road to Major Glory
As NAVI continues their 2025 campaign, its consistent performance metrics and championship experience position them as serious contenders for another Major title. With upcoming matches in the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 and their proven ability to perform in high-stakes situations, the Ukrainian powerhouse remains focused on adding to their already impressive trophy collection while maintaining their status as Counter-Strike’s most successful organization.
