CS2: The long-awaited championship cup, NAVI defeated NIP and won the StarLadder Autumn Tournament.

NAVI was once hailed as one of the strongest teams in the CS2 circle. It was on the list of every international competition, and it would definitely make it to the qualifying rounds and even win the championship. Rather than saying that the team worked hard to recruit talents, it was the dream home for many players. However, the reality is always cruel. There is always someone better than you. With the rise of new players and changes in the lineup, Natus Vincere's permanent position was gradually replaced and entered a slump until the StarLadder Autumn Tournament, when they finally broke the curse and won the first championship after 2024.

After overcoming numerous obstacles and advancing to the finals, they faced the renowned Ninjas in Pyjamas, ultimately securing a crushing victory with a score of 2-0. Their representatives, Nuke and Inferno, received the most praise for their outstanding performances on both maps, leading the team to the 2025 StarLadder StarSeries Autumn Championship trophy.

Previously, NAVI suffered a series of defeats in some individual competitions, which was a terrible sight. They no longer had a good record at the start of IEM Cologne, and after much difficulty, they made it to the semi-finals but stopped there. The following BLAST Bounty Tournament S2, EWC Esports World Cup and BLAST London Open all ended in failure, losing to teams such as M80, 3DMAX and Astralis.

After winning the trophy, NAVI thanked the fans for looking upon them as the favorites to win the tournament. This gave them strong confidence and they vowed to win. Now they have done it, winning the $200,000 prize. As for the runner-up of Ninjas in Pyjamas, they will receive $130,000.
