NAVI — champions of IEM Atlanta 2026

Natus Vincere -  champions of Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026

In Atlanta, Intel Extreme Masters Atlanta 2026 has concluded. Natus Vincere became the champions of the tournament, defeating GamerLegion in the grand final with a score of 3-0.

Having passed the group stage almost without problems, losing only unexpectedly to Legacy, Natus Vincere advanced to the playoffs, where a real test awaited them.

In the very first playoff match, Natus Vincere met their “kryptonite” — Vitality. For two years already, Natus Vincere had not managed to take even a map from them. After trading map picks, the teams went to the decider, where Natus Vincere confidently closed the series 13–4, winning such a principled encounter and sending the “Bees” home in 5–6th place. Having reached the semifinals, Natus Vincere faced BetBoom, who had earlier also defeated Vitality. For the “Born to Win”, this match did not become a serious challenge — the team confidently advanced to the grand final.

The final series was at times tense, but Natus Vincere turned out to be better prepared and more motivated after their victory over Vitality and defeated GamerLegion 3-0, becoming the champions of the tournament and earning $125,000.
