Na'Vi will face FURIA Esports in their first match of the IEM Katowice 2025 Group Stage

From January 29 to February 9, 2025, one of the biggest Counter-Strike 2 tournaments of the season, Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2025, is taking place. A total of 24 teams are competing for a $1 million prize pool, but the road to victory isn’t easy, as the tournament is divided into several stages: Play-in, Group Stage, and Playoffs. Eight teams, including Natus Vincere, have secured direct invites to the Group Stage, while the remaining 16 had to battle through the Play-in stage for a chance to advance.

Natus Vincere vs. FURIA Esports

As of February 1, 2025, the Play-in stage has concluded, and all teams for the Group Stage have been determined. Among the upcoming matchups, the most anticipated one for us is Natus Vincere vs. FURIA Esports, scheduled for February 1 at 19:30 EET. This match is particularly exciting because NAVI is making their tournament debut, leaving everyone wondering what to expect from them. Fans, as well as we, hope for nothing less than an outstanding performance. Meanwhile, FURIA Esports already played in the Play-in stage, securing victories against Imperial Fe and Wildcard, which were not the strongest opponents, making their true level of play still uncertain.

This clash promises to be thrilling, and what makes it even more exciting is that the winner will face the victor of the Team Spirit vs. Astralis matchup. Tune in on YouTube or Twitch at the scheduled time and cheer for your favorite team!
