NAVI has successfully secured their participation in the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 after a remarkable performance in the fourth round of the RMR. Facing off against SAW, they emerged victorious on two maps – Nuke with a score of 13:10, and Ancient with a dominant score of 13:2. This achievement marks NAVI's 21st consecutive major appearance, a testament to their unwavering consistency and competitiveness.
Having been a staple in all of Valve's previous tournaments, NAVI continues to uphold their legacy as they prepare to take on the challenge in Shanghai. With a solid 3-1 match record in the qualifiers, the team's placement in the Opening or Elimination stage remains uncertain due to the revised seeding rules.
Surviving the test of time in the esports realm is no small feat, with only a select few organizations enduring the ever-evolving landscape. Following NAVI, NIP and Fnatic closely trail with 16 Major qualifications each. Despite their impressive track record, NAVI has clinched Major titles only twice in their history, triumphing at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and PGL Major Copenhagen 2024.
The Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 is scheduled to take place from November 30 to December 15, featuring LAN matches in China. The tournament boasts a prize pool of $1.25 million, with notable teams like Cloud9 also earning their spot in the event's fourth round, joining previously qualified Vitality and MOUZ.
