NAVI Qualify for Esports World Cup 2026 in CrossFire Following Success in Brazil

Esports organization Natus Vincere has secured its spot in the CrossFire tournament at the Esports World Cup 2026. The team earned its ticket to the event through their performances in the CrossFire Brazil League.

In the playoffs of CFBL 2026 Season 2, "Born to Win" confidently defeated ROC 3:0, clearing their path to the top 3 of the tournament. Thanks to this success and a bronze finish in the first season of the league (June 2026, where NAVI fell only to ROC and Liquid), the club holds second place in the overall CFBL standings. The total accumulated points guaranteed the team a slot at EWC 2026 in Paris, as well as a spot in the CFS 2026 Brazil regional finals.

The competition will take place in an offline format in front of a live audience and will hold S-Tier tournament status:

• Dates: August 17–21, 2026 (during the final week of the esports festival).
• Prize pool: $2,000,000 and 3,350 club points.
• Organizers: Esports World Cup Foundation, Smilegate, and Hero Esports.
• Participants and format: 16 teams from leading regional leagues (China, Vietnam, Brazil, Philippines, Western regions) and international qualifiers will compete in a group stage and playoffs.
