NAVI secures 13-7 victory on Mirage, aims for Anubis win

Natus Vincere, the esports organization better known as NAVI, posted a convincing 13-7 win on the Mirage map in a recent Counter-Strike 2 match. The team’s Counter-Terrorist side performance was the engine behind the result, and they’re now looking to carry that energy into the Anubis map.

Breaking down the Mirage performance

A 13-7 scoreline in CS2 tells a pretty clear story. In a game where 13 rounds wins the map, NAVI needed only the minimum to close things out while conceding just 7 rounds to their opponents.

The CT side, where players defend bomb sites rather than attack them, was where NAVI distinguished themselves. Playing CT on Mirage requires precise positioning, coordinated rotations, and the kind of utility usage that separates professional teams from everyone else.

Why Anubis matters next

Anubis returned to the active map pool in January 2026, replacing Train. That swap reshuffled the competitive landscape in meaningful ways, forcing every team at the professional level to develop new strategies and adapt their map vetoes accordingly.

NAVI’s broader competitive trajectory

This Mirage result fits into a pattern for NAVI across the 2026 tournament calendar. The organization has demonstrated consistent success on Mirage throughout events including BLAST Rivals and IEM tournaments, building a reputation as one of the most dangerous teams on the map.

NAVI, or Natus Vincere (Latin for “born to win”), has been one of the most recognizable brands in competitive Counter-Strike for years. Their roster decisions, coaching staff, and organizational infrastructure have kept them relevant through multiple iterations of the game, from CS:GO through the transition to CS2.
