Natus Vincere will not go to The International 2026. In the third round of the lower bracket of the European qualifiers on June 27, they lost to HULIGANI with a score of 1:2 and were eliminated from the tournament.
NAVI fell into the lower bracket early in the qualifiers, losing to Nigma in the upper bracket 0:2 at the start. To stay in contention, the team needed to win series after series without the right to make mistakes. On June 26, they managed to defeat MOUZ (2:0), but the next barrier in the form of HULIGANI proved insurmountable.
The European qualifiers for TI 2026 are taking place from June 21 to June 28. Four slots are contested by 16 teams. NAVI finished their run without reaching the coveted slot in Shanghai.
Recall that GamerLegion previously secured a slot for TI 2026 through the North American qualifiers – and did so without a single defeat.
