initial setbacks, NAVI&#8217;s Valeriy &#8220;b1t&#8221; Vakhovskiy and Justinas &#8220;jL&#8221; Lekavicius displayed exceptional skill, particularly on Inferno, where they dominated with a stunning 13-3 victory.<\/p>\n<p>This win not only secured NAVI the championship but also earned jL his first MVP medal, highlighting his stellar contribution throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Aleksi
