NAVI retakes the throne, claims first CS:GO trophy of 2022 at BLAST Spring Finals

After a brief period without collecting any fresh hardware, the Natus Vincere CS:GO roster is back to its winning ways with a grand finals victory over Team Vitality today at the BLAST Spring Finals, the team’s first of 2022.

NAVI looked in championship form starting the series on Mirage, jumping out to a significant lead on their T-side despite losing the half’s pistol round to Vitality. Vitality struggled to find answers to NAVI’s offense, letting the lead balloon to 9-1 before Magisk and ZywOo helped put some rounds on the board, reducing the lead to 10-5. A Perfecto 4K in the pistol round boosted the NAVI lead some more, and Vitality couldn’t find almost any easy entries onto either site, leading to a NAVI victory on Mirage, 16-8.
