Team Spirit vs NaVi in-depth team analysis

Team Spirit roster and recent results

NaVi roster and recent results

NaVi worked its way through the upper bracket of the BLAST Open Spring group stage by beating Furia and The MongolZ in a pair of tough matches. That guaranteed the team a playoff spot, but it landed in the semifinals after losing to Eternal Fire in the upper bracket finals.

NaVi and Aleksib will ride onto the server for this one:

• Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen
• Valerij “b1t” Vakhovsjkyj
• Justinas “jL” Lekavičius
• Mihai “iM” Ivan
• Ihor “w0nderful” Zhdanov

NaVi map pool

Over the last 12 months, NaVi has a 66% winrate or better on Dust 2, Anubis, Ancient, and Mirage. It’s close to 50-50 on both Nuke and Inferno, though.

Team Spirit vs NaVi head-to-head record

Team Spirit and NaVi have played against each other nine times since February 2024. Team Spirit has won seven of those matches. Their most recent match was in IEM Katowice 2025, with Spirit winning 2-0. Spirit has come out on top in their last three encounters, with NaVi unable to win a single map during that stretch.

Team Spirit vs NaVi betting picks & predictions

Core picks

• Team Spirit wins 2-0 (2.31)
  • The last two matches between these teams ended in a 2-0 win for Spirit, so a 2.31 line on that seems like a solid proposition
• Team Spirit wins quickly
  • When NaVi loses, it tends to lose fairly quickly, making something like NaVi wins under 7.5 rounds on map one a solid value at 3.12

Prediction

Team Spirit should be able to beat NaVi. Spirit is still the top-ranked team in the world. It’s also specifically strong against NaVi. This one should be pretty straightforward.
