It’s official — NAVI Junior is headed to The International 2025! The rising stars secured their golden ticket by defeating OG 2:1 in the upper bracket final of the Western Europe closed qualifier. With a confident comeback after dropping the first map, the squad proved they’re more than just a “junior” roster — they’re a serious threat on the main stage.
After OG’s early map win, NAVI Junior flipped the script. Their drafts clicked perfectly, and their execution in high-pressure team fights — especially around the Roshan pit — was nothing short of clinical. In the end, their 2-1 victory wasn’t just a win, it was a statement.
The series MVP? None other than Taras “gotthejuice” Linnikov. The young carry showcased his late-game mastery with two dominant performances on farm-heavy cores, closing out games with composure and raw skill. His performance gave NAVI Junior the edge in every crucial moment.
The WEU qualifier runs from June 13 to 18, with only two TI slots up for grabs. While OG drops to the lower bracket to fight for survival, NAVI Junior has already punched their ticket to Hamburg, where The International 2025 will unfold this fall.
NAVI Junior Promoted to Main Roster
Big changes are coming to Natus Vincere’s Dota 2 division. The organization announced that starting July 1, 2025, NAVI Junior will officially become the main NAVI roster. This decision follows their recent success, culminating in their TI 2025 qualification.
