PUBG Global Championship 2025: NAVI Secure Third Place Finish

Natus Vincere (NAVI) stunned everyone with their outstanding and powerful performance during the PUBG Global Championship 2025 where they ended third overall and received a prize of $120,000. The event, which is considered one of the best in the world, was held in Thailand for almost three weeks of fierce competitions and finally concluded on December 14.

For NAVI to reach the podium was not easy at all. The group B stage was quite challenging for the team and they couldn't even get fifth place, thus they were placed in the Last Chance bracket of the very competitive teams. The pressure was enormous since only five out of the sixteen teams would be left for the Grand Finals at last. However, a win in Match 17 was vital for NAVI as it gave them the chance to participate in the Grand Finals where they eventually got third with 128 points in total.

NAVI was one of the major contenders in the Grand Finals. They completed Day 1 as a team in first place, and on Day 2 second. However, they could not even equal the winners of the tournament FULL SENSE who received 155 points, although they tried to recover on the last day. Virtus.pro took the second position with 129 points, just one point more than VAN.

The outstanding show was a result of the joint efforts of Hakatory, SoseD, ext4nz, Feyerist, and ALREIN who displayed their psychological stability and calmness throughout all the different parts of the tournament.

The PUBG Global Championship 2025 which took place from 28 November to 14 December included a prize pool of 1.5 million dollars and consisted of the top 16 teams globally. The tournament may be over but NAVI's competitive season is not yet finished. PUBG Team NBA's next event is Masters invitational, set to take place in South Korea from 19 to 21 December with 16 teams competing for a total prize of $200,000.
