NAVI vs B8 Form & Performance
Over the past three months, NAVI have played 38 maps, winning 18 of them. During the last month, the team competed at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, where they finished 5th–8th. While this result is not their strongest performance considering their success at the Budapest Major, the team still shows the potential to compete for deep playoff runs.
In their last five matches, NAVI secured two wins against Monte and G2, but also suffered defeats to G2, The MongolZ, and MOUZ. These results highlight some inconsistency, though the team remains competitive at the top level.
B8, meanwhile, have played 20 maps in the last three months, winning 7 of them. Over the past month, the team also competed at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, finishing 12th–14th. After recent roster changes, the squad is still looking for stability and has struggled against stronger opponents.
In their last five matches, B8 earned two victories against FURIA and HEROIC, while losing to Spirit, Aurora, and HEROIC. These results show that the team is capable of pulling off upsets but still lacks consistency.
Map Pool For Match NAVI vs B8
In the veto, NAVI will almost certainly begin by banning Overpass, as it is their most common permanent ban. After that, they are likely to pick Ancient, one of their strongest maps with an 80% win rate over the last three months. In the second ban phase, NAVI may remove Dust2 to limit one of B8’s strongest options.
B8, on the other hand, almost always start the veto with a ban on Nuke, and this match should be no exception. As their map pick, the team could opt for Dust2, where they have a 67% win rate, or Mirage, which they pick most frequently. In the second ban phase, B8 may remove Inferno to avoid a map where NAVI look relatively comfortable.
With this veto scenario, the most likely decider could be Mirage. It is a map both teams are experienced on and one that often remains in the pool until the final stage of the veto, making it a logical deciding map in a BO3 series.
NAVI vs B8 Head-To-Head
Over the past six months, the teams have faced each other twice. Both matches took place at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, an S-Tier offline tournament.
Both encounters were played in a BO3 format, and NAVI secured convincing 2-0 victories in each series, not dropping a single map.
Best Pick For Match NAVI vs B8
Heading into this match, NAVI appear to be the more balanced and experienced team. The roster has significantly more experience on the biggest stages, a stronger overall map pool, and a positive head-to-head record against B8.
B8 could cause problems with their aggressive playstyle and strong performance on Dust2, but their inconsistent form and recent roster changes make it difficult for them to consistently challenge top-tier teams.
Considering the teams’ form, map statistics, and previous head-to-head matches, the most likely outcome of this series is a 2-0 victory for NAVI.
