NAVI Breaks Annual Prize Money Record!

Without a doubt, we can say that NAVI dominated the CS:GO esports scene this year. Astralis, lost their edge and also lost their number one spot. NAVI also broke the record for the CS:GO team that won the most prize money in a year.

The team, which has beaten many strong opponents in every tournament this season, is breaking record after record.

NAVI has won all major tournaments throughout the year, including the Stockholm Major. They were also undefeated in all of the LAN tournaments they attended.

They won the Intel Grand Slam Season 3 and PGL Major Stockholm, the biggest tournaments in the CS:GO esports scene. Moreover, they achieved this success together with Valerii “b1t” Vakhovskyi, whom we can still call a rookie.

Best Esports Player of the Year – S1mple

The star player of the team, Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, had an amazing season. S1mple, who has received 7 MVPs this year alone, has caught up with his biggest rival, Nicolai “device” Reedtz. So he’s just one step away from the total 19 MVP goals needed to break the record.

NAVI won more than $3.7 million in prize money in one year!

NAVI achieved the success of its biggest rival Astralis in 20 tournaments in 2018, only in 15 tournaments this season. Astralis won $3,651,650 in prize money in 2018. NAVI, on the other hand, has already managed to win more than $3.7 million in prize money.

In addition, the achievements of the team are extraordinary for the organization. Because the amount of prize money won by the team in 2021 is half of the total prize money they have won in CS:GO tournaments since 2013. NAVI is definitely in its golden age.

The cash prizes they won in the tournaments are as follows:

  • BLAST Premier: Global Finals 2020 – 600.000 $
  • DreamHack Masters Spring 2021 – 100.000 $
  • IEM Cologne 2021 – 400.000 $
  • Intel Grand Slam Season 3 – 1.000.000 $
  • PGL Major Stockholm 2021 – 1.000.000 $
  • BLAST Premier: Fall Finals 2021 – 225.000 $

The season is not over yet, there is the BLAST Premier World Final 2021, which will take place between December 14-19. Fans of the team are sure that they will also win this tournament.
