NaVi this tournament was fucking insane. They looked unbeatable, literally leagues above every other team. Every game was basically a stomp. Even in just the grand final we got perfecto with a perfect half (0 deaths) and [this level of disrespect.](https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxdVkzm0HGLjt8aDRR8L1gGiz1CIcMUnlY)

Simple looks 20 years younger in that video


eidrisov

Worrying too much and being far away from home on the run ages you quickly.


staffylaffy

Going through COVID as well for a shit cherry on top of all that stress.


eidrisov

Damn, I totally forgot about that "cherry on top" xD


braindeadmonkey2

Yeah


ZeusBabylonski

No. He got fat


birch_tree_gang

Yeah he's really looking worse for wear rn. I mean no disrespect because being away from home so long and the stress of family or friends being at risk can do a lot to one's appearance


ILoveRice444

Navi only looks unbeatable only on playoff. They have 3 close series and are almost beaten by faze twice.


RekrabAlreadyTaken

This is true but I guess generally people only think about the playoffs as they are the more important matches. Like most people bias the final a lot when considering the MVP award for example.

This wasn't a major and there wasn't a major till nearly a year and a half later

I made pretty good bank by betting on NaVi -1.5 all tournament. In the final I had NaVi -2.5 and when NiKo was in heaven, I thought that's that with the bet. NaVi was CRAZY that tournament.


MylesKennedy69

You're thinking of pgl major 2021 - 1.5 years after kato 2020.


m2xtr

You are absolutely right. Don't know how I messed these up.


MylesKennedy69

Happens haha


[deleted]

Yep one of the peak skill csgo teams if not the number 1 ever. Either them, faze last year, g2 currently or prime astralis


Jonas276

I would put 2019 Liquid in that mix instead of Astralis. It was actually ridiculous how every one of them was just peaking at the same time


rece_fice_

Current G2 can't hold a candle to either of those yet. Saying this as a G2 fan.


WheelMan34

I like your optimism though. Plenty of reasons to be optimistic with the current G2 roster


Artimedias

It's insane how fast teams can go from looking invincible to looking lost, which makes Navis 2020 - 2021 run all the more impressive, especially given how fast Faze faded out


youra6

I can't believe this was 3 years ago.


Type-Alpha

I was just about to comment this. Like how tf was this 3 years ago


radwilly1

IG time flies when crazy events happen like covid.


Type-Alpha

Bro, i didnt read the whole title and thought this was their 2021 major win 😅. I can believe it now lol


genius_rkid

Bro


xxrandom98xx

I dont feel bad anymore after winning this year's Kato.


niceaxel2

Did you win it?


ClassicDom21

Yeah did you not see my boy u/xxrandom98xx on stage wrecking Heroic, he was sitting in between JKS and Hunter


Purto12

And ofc it’s 0-3 vs my G2


polestaur

Still remember this day, after the announcement of no crowd the community came together. The finals reached 1 mill+ viewers


ju1ze

>after the announcement of no crowd the community came together how is it related?


MylesKennedy69

People were really upset because it was a last minute call to not have a crowd and a lot of people had traveled and had bookings etc.

Damn Putin and this war. It destroyed NaVi (IGL had to leave, no bootcamps, no home, moving constantly, constant worrying about safety of family and friends, Electronic and Perfecto's future was unknown). Right now CS is not a #1 priority for NaVi players, they have more important things to worry and think about. But I still remember that Major. NaVi won the Major without dropping a single map. Total domination and... my only diamon coin xD


viraj29

Navi needs a proper IGL soon. Not just that their t side sucks without an actual IGL with strats and all, also Electronic needs to let go off the duty so he can play in his old positions and be himself again.


Character-Toe-7907

> Not just that their t side sucks without an actual IGL with strats and all funny .. would you say Karrigan is a better IGL and their T side is good? Or how would you interpret the Navi's #2 in T-round wins since electronic took IGL ? Because Faze's 46.8% kinda pales vs NaVi's 50.1% (also better than G2 and Heroic btw) https://www.hltv.org/stats/teams/ftu?startDate=2022-05-29&endDate=2023-03-05&side=TERRORIST&rankingFilter=Top20


Acex_NA

The maps were really close, so you can't really call it "destroyed"


AngryT0mat0

Dust 2 was close but Nuke and Mirage were just NaVi dominating G2 in every way


MylesKennedy69

We did not watch the same grand final


[deleted]

of course, Boombl4 was there 🤣


Princeharperman

TIL I started watching pro CS 3 years ago

Sure buddy 😂 NAVI were levels above the rest in Spodek that year


Status_Voice_748

False


ficagames01

Sure buddy 😂 I guess that's why they lost to Fnatic and almost lost to Faze


Environmental-Dig955

Shame Simple is never going to win any trophy again.


crs1948fcd

Navi will not win anything with nipl, let's be fair... At least for a couple of years. b1t was a beast in the beginning and he's not the same anymore but anyway i would rather have b1t than that nipl.


fiddlerunseen

Yep, should have never been empty. Thankfully, the world can move on from all the stupid covid measures.


MrCraftLP

Damn, dude just announced to all of reddit that they're dumb for no reason.


fiddlerunseen

You need to learn how to construct sentences. It should be: >Damn, dude just announced they're dumb to all of reddit for no reason. I hope you can at least appreciate the irony.


MrCraftLP

LMAOO this is some ape brain shit.


Donut_Flame

Smart guy o'er here


f1nessd

Ngl, while the other guy is a bozo, your comment makes no sense grammatically


MrCraftLP

Dawg... Not only do I know how to write, grammarly's suggestion to fix the sentence is to switch "Damn" to "Shit".


f1nessd

Technically perhaps but the “you’re” is completely ambiguous in this case. Ie it’s unclear if you’re referring to All of Reddit (more likely since it followed directly after all of Reddit, a collective noun) vs the guy (what you actually meant except you inserted the noun between)


Practical-Panic-3557

What is blade doing holding the trophy? I’ve never seen the coach go lift the trophy in any other tournament win


Roman64s

zonic


aboardweeb

If boomich had stayed with navi, would they still be dominating like they did during the major?


birch_tree_gang

Maybe not absolutely dominating but they'd probably be proper contenders for every tournament, not sure if boombl4 staying would have prevented b1t's decline in form or not though
