ESL Counter-Strike has developed a frag video in honor of Natus Vincere (NAVI), a Ukrainian esports team that won the Intel Grand Slam (IGS) Season 3 championship. The frag movie showcases the NAVI players’ best multi-kill moments from the four CS:GO events where they won: IEM Katowice 2020, DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, IEM Cologne 2021, and ESL Pro League Season 14.

After Astralis and Team Liquid, NAVI were the third CS:GO team in the world to be crowned Intel Grand Slam champions. For winning the title, the team was handed a prize of $1,000,000 USD, with a portion of that going to Egor “flamie” Vasilev.

NAVI receives a dedicated frag movie from ESL for winning IGS Season 3

NAVI just won the third season of Intel Grand Slam, and ESL recently published an official frag video to commemorate his victory. The great editing highlighted some of the best NAVI player performances from the four championships. The CS:GO community has reacted well to the frag film.

Season 3 of the IGS was the longest of the three that have been played thus far. It began with IEM Chicago 2019 and ran for 756 days in total. NAVI entered the race early last year by winning the final CS:GO LAN competition before IEM Katowice 2020, the start of the online phase.

They did not win any other IGS qualified tournament that year, but no other team was able to gain a significant lead due to the volatile online phase. NAVI regained their form in the middle of 2021, and the CIS team went on to win DreamHack Masters Spring 2021, their second IGS Season 3 championship.

This was followed by NAVI’s outstanding performance at IEM Cologne 2021, which was the first CS:GO LAN event to take place in almost a year. NAVI demonstrated their actual potential by turning over a new leaf, coming within one tournament of winning the third season of IGS.

After a hard-fought grand final against Vitality, NAVI returned fresh and in top condition to win the ESL Pro League Season 14 after a summer player vacation.

NAVI was crowned IGS Season 3 champions, confirming their Intel Grand Slam journey as one of their finest periods of professional competition. NAVI has already qualified for the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, and if they win the Major, they will have cemented their status as the undisputed champs.
