Just weeks after lifting the ESL Pro League Season 23 trophy, NAVI are headed to another Grand Finals after taking down PARIVISION in the BLAST Open Rotterdam playoffs. A trophy lift remains unlikely, as Vitality await them on stage but, as Andrii “B1ad3” Horodenskyi said in his post-match interview, it wouldn’t be the first era NAVI ended.

Dust2 – w0nderful dominates PARIVISION – 13-11
Jame stated things off on Dust2 with a bamboozling play, splitting into B, before rerouting onto the A site for a 2v1 win. PARIVISION had the chance to build a sizeable advantage off the back of that win, but they ran into the Deagle of Makazze on the B site, who toppled three to stop the momentum. The Kosovar star was immediately back into he fray in the following round, combining with w0nderful for two-a-piece, giving NAVI an early lead.
