Most people likely predicted FURIA would win this match, as NAVI had a lot of trouble playing against them earlier in the tournament. However, those difficult games could have actually helped NAVI learn how to beat the stronger teams.
At the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, NAVI and FURIA will meet again in the quarterfinals, just like they did in Stage 3. This match is a best-of-one, and the winning team will advance to the semifinals with a chance to win the championship.

The choice of map will be key in this match. FURIA previously dominated NAVI on Nuke, so Natus Vincere will need to come up with a strong strategy to counter that this time.
On the rise and in the turbulence: Match preview
FURIA is expected to win this match, building on their impressive 13-2 victory in the first round of Stage 3. They’re currently playing very well, while NAVI has been struggling recently.
FURIA entered the Budapest Major with a few tournament wins in their pockets.
- They started this amazing series with FISSURE Playground #2 and finished with the IEM Chengdu and BLAST Rivals Fall 2025.
- During the Major’s Stage 3, FURIA also defeated Imperial and G2. Only in the second half of Map 2, Overpass, G2 showed something really competitive.
NAVI won only a lower-tier StarSeries Fall 2025 — this season and actually this year.
- In the second half of 2025, NAVI were in the top 4 at IEM Cologne. Then, they fell as low as winning no matches in Chengdu: defeated by Astralis and eliminated by HEROIC.
- NAVI lost to FURIA at the grand final of Thunderpick World Championship 2025. It’s a match to forget for Natus Vincere, as they were 2:0 ahead and FURIA pulled off a reverse sweep on them.
- After a pretty good run in Stage 2 of the Budapest Major, NAVI barely qualified for the Playoffs. They lost to Vitality but defeated three underdogs to advance to this quarterfinal.
The winner of the CS2 Budapest Major 2025 will be crowned on December 16th. Following the tournament, many top teams might make changes to their player lineups during the off-season.
