PARIVISION's players have to raise their individual level, and the team needs NAVI-style time together, per coach dastan, who sets the Major playoffs as the goal ‼️ "The second stage of the Major would be better for us: you start against weaker teams, gain confidence and go through to the third. ... The next step always comes down to individual level: the players need to perform better, improve their mechanics, and tournament after tournament we must get better. ... Even NAVI's core has been together for more than two years, and that helped them in these matches."

Highest damage per round in Major history 📊 1. 🇷🇺 donk (97.6) 2. 🇷🇺 flamie (85.5) 3. 🇫🇷 ZywOo (84.4) 4. 🇩🇰 stavn (83.0) 5. 🇧🇷 coldzera (82.9) Who climbs into this list next?

Zeus can't understand why NAVI picked Cache against The MongolZ after losing it to FURIA, and asks what their seven-map pool is for ‼️ "You lose to FURIA on Cache, even though you win both pistol ROUNDS. Then The MongolZ beat FURIA on Cache. And after that you pick Cache yourselves against The MongolZ. How is that possible? ... If you're scared to play Ancient, there's Nuke, which you removed with your second ban. ... I don't fully understand this map pool logic. What's the point of these 7 maps then?"

NAVI take 3rd place at IEM Beijing over BetBoom, with b1t leading the way 🔥 Boombl4 was BetBoom's worst-rated player 😬

chopper has officially retired as a player, confirming it to HLTV 💔 The former Spirit captain ends a career of more than 10 years, including 11 Majors. With Spirit he won nine trophies, among them the Perfect World Shanghai Major, IEM Katowice 2024 and IEM Cologne 2025. He thanked Certus, who made him IGL, and hally: "we learned to win together." via HLTV

xelex admits he is not yet performing at his highest level on stage, and needed a full map to adjust to the arena in MOUZ's semi-final win over BetBoom ‼️ "When they were coming with an A execute, and I couldn't hear them running, and I couldn't tell if I heard my teammate running behind me or if it was them, it was just tough. I was a bit shaky too; of course, it's just the arena experience. But I'm just happy that I managed to handle it well on the second map already. I think I just needed one map to warm up or just get used to it. So I think it will be better for sure for the grand final tomorrow." via HLTV

nin9 plays down Techno's "two IGLs" praise and says the new MongolZ lineup is still getting used to each other, even after reaching the IEM Beijing final ‼️ "Right now we're still getting used to each other. We still haven't fully become comfortable with each other yet. ... That's just Techno being generous with the compliments. Right now I don't think I'm doing too good vocally, but I still do my part. And if there are some obvious setups or things, I call them out, and then bLitz makes the decisions from there. ... Personally, I don't think I'm doing that much." via HLTV

s1mple built his dream team without himself: YEKINDAR, ropz, apEX, ZywOo and b1t, then cut apEX after a year for a new IGL with B1ad3 as coach ‼️ "In a year, we change apEX. Like, 'Fuck apEX.' And we take another IGL. B1ad3 will be the coach."
