The Ukrainian esports organization NAVI finished the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris in fourth place in the club standings. This is the team’s best result in its three years of participating in the EWC. This time, NAVI—owned by entrepreneur Maksym Krippa—scored 2,950 points and earned $3 million in prize money.
The club’s final ranking has already been determined, even though some individual competitions within the Esports World Cup are still ongoing. At the same time, NAVI’s results in other disciplines allowed the organization to secure fourth place among more than 90 participants.
For NAVI, this is a significant step forward compared to previous years. In 2024, the organization finished the EWC in eighth place, and last year it made it only into the top 32. This time, they managed to improve their result thanks to the performances of six NAVI rosters.
Luis Guadalupe “DarkAngel” Castillo Gómez made the biggest contribution to the team’s result. The NAVI player became the Fatal Fury tournament champion and earned the organization the maximum 1,000 points.
NAVI’s women’s Mobile Legends team added another 750 points to the club’s ranking. The PUBG team earned 500 points, while Grandmaster Nodirbek Abdusattorov and NAVI’s CrossFire team each earned 200.
The organization earned the final 300 points thanks to Hubert “mime” Dziedzic. The Polish player competed in the Trackmania tournament and finished with a result that allowed NAVI to secure fourth place.
