Natus Vincere, Mirage'da Imperial'ı yenerek StarLadder Budapeşte Major 2025'te 2-0'a yükseldi
November 29, 2025 — Natus Vincere continue their strong run at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, securing a 13–10 victory over Imperial on Mirage in the second round of Stage 2. With this result, NaVi advance to a confident 2–0 record, while Imperial drop to 1–1, losing their chance to secure an early playoff spot.
The match began with a tightly contested first half, but NaVi gradually took control thanks to disciplined mid-round calling and confident individual plays. Their preparation was visible even during the veto phase, which played a major role in determining the flow of the match.

- Natus Vincere removed Inferno
- Natus Vincere removed Dust2
- Imperial removed Nuke
- Mirage remained as the final map
With Mirage left over, NaVi showcased their comfort and structure on the map, repeatedly shutting down Imperial’s attempts at regaining momentum. Through clean executes, well-timed retakes, and clutch rounds in late-game scenarios, the Ukrainian-European roster demonstrated the composure expected from a top-tier contender.
This victory marks another significant step forward for NaVi as they edge closer to securing a playoff berth at the Major. Their current form and consistency once again underline why the organization remains one of the most respected names on the CS2 scene.
Imperial, now sitting at 1–1, still remain in the competition but will need to tighten their play in the upcoming matches to avoid dropping into the negative bracket of the Swiss system — especially in the unforgiving best-of-one format, where every mistake carries a heavy cost.
