Today, NAVI ended their run at the Romanian event PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026 after a 1:2 quarterfinal loss against MOUZ.
The match initially went in favor of the German organization, but on the first map NAVI managed to pull off a comeback and secure it. That certainly sparked some hope, but the Ukrainian team couldn’t take more than ten rounds across the following two maps.

Aside from the disappointment among Ukrainian fans, the Romanian crowd was left unhappy as well. They were incredibly excited to see their local player, iM, reach the playoffs, so the arena was fully behind NAVI, with practically no one cheering for the opposition. Despite that, the team failed to meet the expectations and exited the tournament early in the playoffs.

Their next event will be the ESL Pro League Season 23, which kicks off for NAVI on March 6.

As a reminder, Valve is hosting a “Horse Festival” on Steam.
