The year 2025 became a period of consistent presence among the top CS2 teams for 🇺🇦 Natus Vincere, but without full-scale dominance. NAVI remained competitive at almost every event, regularly reached the later stages of tournaments, and maintained their positions in the global rankings, although the season cannot be described as a breakthrough one.
Attempts to stabilize performance
Throughout the year, NAVI balanced between fighting for trophies and trying to stabilize the play of an updated roster. The team played a large number of matches, stayed within the top 10 of the world rankings, and showed a solid win rate, but a lack of depth in the playoffs and inconsistent series against direct competitors often prevented them from taking the next step forward. At the same time, the overall picture of the season looks more positive than it might appear based solely on results in major finals.

Results and form
By the end of 2025, NAVI played 162 maps with a 57% win rate, indicating a competitive but not dominant level. The overall win-loss record stood at 93–69, while the team’s average K/D was 1.04, confirming stable individual form without sharp imbalances toward specific players. In the rankings, the team climbed as high as the top 3 and spent a total of 127 weeks in the top 30, remaining a constant participant in major events.
Tournaments and prize money
NAVI managed to win one trophy in 2025 and earned a total of $517,000 in prize money. Their best results came at mid-season LAN tournaments, while at the Budapest Major the team finished in 3rd–4th place. On one hand, this confirmed their status as a top-tier squad, but on the other, it once again left a sense of unrealized potential.
Map pool and style
Mirage remained NAVI’s most successful map in 2025 with a 71.4% win rate, which fits well with the team’s overall style — structured play with an emphasis on map control and disciplined executions. At the same time, on other key maps the team more often showed a “50–50” level, making series against top opponents far less predictable.

Working toward stability
For Natus Vincere, 2025 was a season of stability without a major breakthrough. The team stayed among the CS2 elite, consistently earned ranking points, prize money, and deep tournament runs, but ultimately failed to convert the roster’s potential into a series of major victories. Ahead lies work on stability in decisive matches and an attempt to return NAVI to the status of a constant title contender, rather than just a strong playoff participant.
