Also this week, BLAST Slam VI for Dota 2 will begin. The tournament starts on February 3 and will run until February 15. It is one of the first major tests for teams in the new year ahead of the upcoming DreamLeague Season 28.

Of course, matches in Riot Games’ regional partner leagues for League of Legends and Valorant will continue as well. In both disciplines, NAVI rosters are competing in the European divisions.
