NaVi suffered a last-place finish at BLAST Bounty Season 1 2026, losing 2-1 to a Monte featuring two British players.
Jack ‘Gizmy’ von Spreckelsen called an excellent series as Monte’s IGL, with fellow Brit Oscar ‘AZUWU’ Bell by his side on the server.
While an online loss is usually no reason to panic, NaVi’s internal dynamics may make the loss an ominous portent of the roster’s 2026 season.
