NAVI took off from IEM Katowice 2021!

The first match of the playoff stage has come to an end. He became somewhat unpredictable and caused a storm of discussion. NAVI could not take a single card from Gambit Esports. The team lost on Overpass with a score of 12-16 and were defeated on Train, taking only 6 rounds there.

Alexander 's1mple' Kostylev has already shared his impressions on Twitter:

"0-2 against @GambitEsports ggwp!Too many mistakes leading to loss of confidence during the match, deserved defeat. Out from IEM Katowice 2021".

Thus, Natus Vincere finished their journey in 5th-6th place, having received a consolation reward of $ 40,000, and Gambit Esports, in turn, advanced to the semifinals, where they will face Team Spirit.

Next in line are Astralis and Virtus.pro. Did Flamie guess that VP will beat the Danes and advance to the semifinals, or not? We'll find out soon!
