Facts and records
3
titles this season for Natus Vincere; this is the 1st
This began Natus Vincere’s run of 3 titles this season: the next came at ESL Pro League Season 23, the latest so far at Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026. The final was another win for the club over Ninjas in Pyjamas: before it, the winner had won all 2 of their series this season, including earlier at this event. On the way to the title the club dropped 1 map of 9; only 6 of the 58 champions this season with 3+ series in our data dropped a smaller share; 1 more matched it.

Natus Vincere won StarSeries Fall 2025 in Budapest almost without resistance. In four matches it dropped a single map, to 9INE on the opening day, and it beat Ninjas in Pyjamas twice in two days without losing a map to them — first on September 20, then again in the final the next day.
The $200,000 for first place was 40% of the pool and the first of NaVi’s three titles this season, followed by ESL Pro League Season 23 and IEM Atlanta 2026. A year later, at StarSeries Fall 2026 in Barcelona, the same club finished seventh-to-eighth, and the title went to Team Vitality.
