I am one of many organizers at a small 200-300 people Lan Party in Lithuania, Kaunas (InfoShow Lan Party). We all remember jL coming to the event yearly, even few months ago just to say hi. We were all thrilled to see our first Lithuanian to win a Major. go jL!
if B1t and iM improve and keep up their form, they can win more with Aleksi at the helm and jLegend
@@TrippyTimesTwolithuania is in the baltics not africa

I agree about iM, but B1t is kinda hard for him to switch language and come. @@seraphinagauld4100

AleksiB is tactical genius. He is most know of his signature tactic "going B, but then farm G2." He also has second little known tactic of "throw every single Ancient games, but win them all in major playoff." What a absolute legend. Top 3 IGL 4 sure.
LMAO

Top 3 is a bit of a stretch
Facts
@@schecterguitarsfan it's just copypasta
Karrigan choking on Inferno in a Major grandfinal. What a classic.
They lying when they say history doesn't repeat
Getting only 1 kill on final map is wild
Immediately after the finals, somebody uploaded a highlight reel of Karrigan on Inferno 😂😂
Him choosing ancient was the real choke
tbh, he was not the only on faze who was just not getting it done. Na'Vi peaked during that map, aleksiB had great calls and his players hit all the shots they needed to. On the other side faze just floundered, they could barely find a kill, let alone a multi.
Kariggans fragmovie in inferno is an absolute cinema
More like an ad
Man😂 best movie ever 👌🏻 so epic
fun fact: On Map 3 Inferno. W0nderful had the same number of kills on NaVi members that Karrigan did
That’s true. He did TK B1t once.
:D😂
the fact that wonderful actually played quite bad for an awper standard and still win is kinda crazy for Navi. The team really felt well built.

We had over 20k romanian viewers across different streaming channels hyping for IM, he is our legend, the first romanian to win a major, also when he arrived in the bucharest airport we had a community waiting for him and cheering him up
I'm so happy for iM and all Romanians, GG and thank you from Finland!
IM is the only fraud in this Navi lineup
We had 150k on a single ukrainian studio's stream. The biggest number yet, previous record was 60k. Safe to say, our boys made us the happiest :)
We were more than 50k on all streams, and we have a population of only around 19mil, and very old, so the AVG is almost same, but thank you for b1t and w0nderful

I like how G2 kicked Aleksib as 'hes not that good'. Then he kicked them in semis and won the Major. Legendary
And not only this. The last 5 or 6 matches between NaVi and G2 were won by NaVi. Despite all the hate that aleksib, iM and jL received, they managed to win the Major. 🏆
Even tho aleksib good, i think he can't win a major with G2 because NiKo is often Miss his shot almost every important Round example Deag Miss shot final on heaven nuke, i'm not saying that he's bad but he is not a good clutcher unlike NaVi who has w0nderful b1t jL they are good at clutching, also Hunter nexa and hooxi's performance are not so good and make m0nesy carrying them so hard because of his teammate play not so good cs as i believe they are capable of doing it.
@@KiseiShuu Good leader is better than good fragger, we already saw him lead Ence very far up against tier 1's.
@@AKL89 yeah i don't understand why G2/NIP/Ence/OG kick him
That smile of aleksib after kill at end!❤
One thing that was not mentioned, but it is worth it. B1ade's impact seems to be huge. He faced huge challenges:
- War in Ukraine and you need to remove the russian players
- S1mple's burnout
- Switch the language.
He managed all of this. He proved that hard work pays of, there are no non-replaceable players, The team is not about gifted players, and he can build a top-level team with the resources that he has.
For me, it proves that B1ade is one of the greatest coaches of all time in CS history!!!
Anyway,
Thanks for the review.
real. People somehow forget there is an ongoing war in ukraine that affects navi as a mostly ukrainian team DRASTICALLY. Kicking all the ruzzian players and still wining a major as a underdogs is insane
I remember the time when he played in Flipside many centuries ago and i was thinking: "He is playing awful, but dude, he NEEDS to be a coach and he will be fantastic at this role". Never had disbelief in navi coaching ever since they added B1ade. Absolute legend
They didn't even kick Electronic and Perfecto, the duo decided to leave on their own. Not sure why, maybe the atmosphere was too toxic for obvious reasons or they were afraid of repercussions in Russia if they stayed in a Ukrainian team, or something else, but it was their desire to leave
@@Limemill good for them. They should stay on the swamp or reject themselves as ruzzian players and take neutral flag. What is the point of your comment?
@@likes7635 My point is that the comment above is not right. Navi didn't have the balls to kick the Russians even though the latter, unlike Monesy, didn't get themselves passports from a neutral country and move there, nor did they speak up publicly against the war
People keep misunderstanding the greatness in Aleksib. Time and time again he has taken the job of elevating lower tier players and making it work and raising the expectations of those squads massively. Then gets tossed and the squads just fall off. He knows how to get the teamwork to make the dream work and people dont see that for some reason even after all these years.
JL saying hes still ropz's #1 fan is so wholesome
I think Ropz is mastermind like alexsib but he needs to replace karrigan as IGL
@@FelixCs6000There was nothing mastermind about like 90% of Ropz's plays in the major. He was not only just missing his shots, but also being late and getting caught out on flanks. Dunno what's going on with him, but he's far from early CS2 Ropz.
(As a fellow countryman of his though, I hope he bounces back.)
@@Frawt no not in Major but his clutches insane he is sharp
@@FelixCs6000 let me guess, you are mge xd
man who in is right mind say that stupid shit, karrigan is at least top 2 igl in history, maybe opeen your eyes when you put the games
@@Bisstoro he gets carried by his teamates all of whom can clutch rounds he gets Smg kills
I'm a simple fin:
Aleksib yell: "Torilla tavataan!" (we meet at the market square)
I go get drunk at the market square
So is it market or is it like town square?
@@panbanan1151 the Finnish word "tori" means both depending on context but when people say "torilla tavataan" it's referring to a specific place that is yes a market.
@@kasperimanninen thanks for the explanation mate
It has a great meaning originating from Ice Hockey and world championships, Finland for many years was unable to win a championship until 1995,
since ice hockey is basically the only thing that really united finnish people as one and being very passionate about it they were over the moon to beat their rival in 1995 and went nuts
So 100000 finnish people all around Finland got shitfaced and a lot of them celebrated at ”Kauppatori” (Tori) in Helsinki where there is a fountain and til this day becomes a place to go whenever Finland or someone finnish (who notoriously rarely achieves anything in a world scale) go to show celebrate their country’s victory in pride 🥰
so (kauppa)torilla tavataan means ”At the town square we meet”
🐟
Also, not to forget the awesome work B1ad3 has been doing with NAVI. Not ez integrating a new international team, and he has done an absolutely incredible job imo.
Real grey cardinal
That team was always international
Lithuania has been put on CS map. And to see a Lithuanian win the very first CS2 Major in history, im just in AWE and very happy for jL (jLEGEND)
Not just the first Major, but also the Major MVP of the first Major for jL. I was so happy for him, and I'm not even Lithuanian haha
man AleksiB is one of my fav igl It so awesome to see him win one ... i so hard to see when he was in NIP every match was a uphill battle , finally ma man funded his home
I was watching this with my brothers who cheered for Faze and me for Navi. Been a fan for years, great to see them take it home. I always knew they can do it. And shout out to my Lithuanian brother jL Nesustok!!!
That 2 week bootcamp they did right before the major really helped.
On the last map, on inferno, karrigan showed a game of his life. What class performance by him it was. 😂
Karrigan got what he deserved. I'm a full blood Na'Vi fan, and the sheer arrogance of him playing up to crowd on map 2 just made me want to punch a hole in my TV, but alas - it felt so damn good seeing him getting wrecked on Inferno and FaZe losing the major. My day was made through and through :D

who needs s1mple fr fr
Well he was a back up player for NaVi. But yeah, they did it without s1mple which is even more amazing
Cause they didn't need to put all the carrying to him @@TheNiittylahti
Yeah because s1mple isn’t happy asf to get a bag and for his team to win 😂
S1mple was the problem all along. Na’vi doesn’t need his constant bitching
@@IsdisLosHe toned down the toxicity when he joined Navi. S1mple was a top Fragger he was definitely a main piece
Good day being a NaVi fan, that being said it feels very weird that navi won the major. Before major happened, I look at the new NAVI as the top 3, top4 gatekeepers, realistically if you set them to play 10 Bo3s against top 10 teams, they are coming out with a negative result only against Vitality, Faze and (jury is still out on them) Spirit. I hope that this win was not a fluke and they can build on it
I don't think its a fluke but for them to reproduce similar performances requires more consistency from iM and B1t imo, I still can't see this team reliably beating Spirit / Vita / Faze even if they are capable of upsetting them.
@@Fyr35555 Yeah, that's the main question with this roster. I'm confident they can beat any team in the world if b1t and iM perform like they did just now in the finals but it's a coin flip whether or not they actually will.
@@user-jd4eb6xl7y Pretty much NA'VI story as a whole
Been a Navi fan since 2018, them winning the first csgo major wasna dream come true. Knowing that that 2020 navi roster was the strongest it had ever been. This maior just feels even better cause everyone had a much higher reason to win the trophy than just "I haven't won a major yet". Aleksis redemption arc, underestimation of im,jl not being navi worthy, wonderful not enough for s1mples replacement and b1t decline in form since the og roster breakup. Kudos to blade as well for proving he can transform any individual into a major worthy player
You can tell me whatever you want, but that was one of the best majors of all time in the best game ever!!!
AMEN
you could not be more wrong calling cs2 the best game ever LOL
@@JustAspectcs2 is just csgo but like marginally worse lol don’t act like theyre at all separate games it’s the same game just you don’t like it anymore because it updated
@@xin215 “marginally worse” meaning its not the best game ever anymore, and yes they definitely are 2 separate games, because 1 is good and 1 is bad. How does it feel to be wrong?

I was watching with a friend of mine in Finland rooting for AleksiB. Finnish people that night were Navi supporters waiting for the Finnish flag to be waved from AleksiB's glory with Navi. As a fan of Navi since 2018, I felt like this is a moment where there's more than just me rooting for my own team. Now I got to see Navi win a major, something I haven't seen since 2021, and the entirety of the neighborhood screaming in joy as AleksiB made history as the first Finnish person to win a major in Counter Strike
Torilla tavataaaaaaaaaaaan!!!
Yeah its legit insane how much is it on news here
what does torilaa tavatan mean?
@@Anjankumar1996 straight translation is ”Meet up in market square” but its finnish saying for lets go and party/celebrate finnish success in market squares
@@supremeone4084 thank you Oh Supreme One! 😂
@@supremeone4084I saw a clip on twitter of iM being greeted and congratulated by crowds of people in an airport

A Lithuanian mayor winner. Never thought that it would ever happen. But here we are proud of you my man. Something to be happy about my country.
A navi without s1mple won, this says a lot.
Lol bro forget what Simple has achieved with Navi in 2021 & 2022.
Finally Aleksi gets the trophy
He’s already won a major with ence
@@EivindDaleBigDalehe didn't. They only made it tp final, but not beating astralis.
@@EivindDaleBigDale !!!
The craziest stat is that in the grand finals, w0nderful got the most awp kills across all 3 maps in total.
How many awp kills did he get in 3 maps? 10
damn awps really just arent viable in cs2
@@not__edward unless you’re M0nesy
@@not__edwardnot all maps are like that. See how C9 struggles without an AWPer.
Probably 70% of them were on ancient though.
Does this include an amazing headshot against b1t?
Justice for aleksib, u did him dirty, punks
I remember when people were laughing at this roster. I had Navi to win it, but I was a single point short in the opening stage, so no diamond coin for me. Still, the gold coin matches Navi's colours (Navi Gold). The question is... what does s1mple do now? The current Navi roster proved they can not only win without s1mple but also win a Major without him. I just don't see a place for him in Navi anymore. Not unless he replaces iM as a rifler, but I don't think Navi would have won the Major if s1mple was on the team. His temper and bad vibes ruin the flow of the team. The reason why Navi won is because none of the players have an ego (unlike s1mple). They win as a team, and they lose as a team.
He would also cost a lot and if he comes back and sucks they can't sell him
Simple's practically out of Navi.
i hope Aleksi can boss him around if he comes back with the respect he has gained from winning the major
I agree with you. I think this humbled him a little bit... watching his team move on without him and perform even better.
Yeah exactly! Nobody would have ever guessed that this would be how NaVi reach the top!
The problem about this final wasn't on being MR12 but the fact that it was a BO3 AND MR12 ... It should've been BO5!
oh well...
fr tho! arent finals supposed to be BO5?
@@pajo5014 it has always been BO3 in majors but BO5 in the IEM events, I dunno why there's a difference between the events tho it's kinda weird, I think the Grand finals should just be all BO5 in every event especially now that it is MR12
Most teams don't play enough maps for all those games to be close
@@pajo5014 Major is only BO3
At least Niko had fun major finals watching two igl’s that he kicked play. 😂
I bet he genuinely thinks these IGLs are good but just not compatible with his play style. what he will never admit (looking at how he's ruining G2 now) is that his preferred play style isn't compatible with winning. Any time he won something it was when he trusted an IGL for a while and bought into a real tactical system. when his teams start to play fast and loose gut-based CS it only looks good in the group stage, at best. and it's just so fragile, it has no floor. if a few things go wrong there is no procedure to fall back on so teams like this just implode in their bad matches.
As a Navi's biggest fan this was The Best Major for me
I'm glad my dreams of a diamond coin were dashed early. I was able to enjoy some of the best CS ive seen!
I feel like the edge is so small between all of these top teams that it really comes down to just whoever is heating up that day. MR12 ensures anything can happen and all five of Navi was just hitting on all cylinders in the GF
The first CS2 major? ❌
AleksiB's redemption arc ✅
B1T is now objectively the best rookie ever.
Brokys gotta be up there, especially since he was much more unknown when he joined faze
Bit was on fire on Inferno.
And on Ancient. His rating on Ancient was over 1.5, over 2 on Inferno. If these two maps had been played as map 1 an 2 his rating in the major final would have been like 1.75 LOL
Navi players jad the best storylines ever
Its just sad not seeing monesy at the top. He is such a talent, he deserves it the most imo.
S1mple went through the same, carrying his team to the top, he'll have his time, I just hope he gets out of G2, if he stays on that team he's gonna waste his prime
@@zeryleyeah right the only hope he can win with g2 is someone like jks not nexa. They better replace hoxxie with siuhy instead replacing another firepower to a downgrade
@@sanapotter2259 First major with nexa and got to semi finals. Never got to the playoffs of a major, and sometimes didn't get to the major at all, with jks.
I'm a G2 fan - it felt like m0NESY had to hard carry, but we TOTALLY threw that final round of Ancient, like why did they peek before the flash?! - anyway, despite this, nexa was actually putting in work, HooXi did on several maps, but NiKo wasn't peak NiKo. Man, honestly I felt this was ours after the comeback on Ancient and then we throw the round that would've forced OT 😂
Eh, I don't really consider that round a throw in that way. You could see G2 were expecting an A hit then pivoted to taking B Main control to strangle any mid aggression. NiKo was waiting for the flash and HooXi wasn't that pushed up either, they just hit straight into NAVI's setup. If you look at NAVI's setup there, they were ready to destroy any CT aggression before taking B. You had two players playing anti flash as well.
G2 just weren't ready for how insanely fast NAVI executed their set play into B. HooXi got ran over and NiKo had no chance. m0NESY completely choked under the pressure of 5 NAVI players and it was all over. Realistically, the only thing G2 could've done there was have HooXi kill b1t on the initial engagement. Waiting for the flash wasn't possible because they just got into position to push off a flash so the timing wasn't there.
G2 is literally what NaVi was in CS GO before perfecto, boombla, b1t etc. They need to let go of Hunter, Nexa and NiKo. And build team around Monesy.
G2 could've had a very big chance of winning map 1 if the kovac cousins didn't choke that 1v2 post-plant against aleksib
They peeked before the flash, because there was no flash. Monesy was throwing a smoke (14:42). Don't ask me why, with a good flash, they could have gotten something there.
"we" "ours", who the hell are you ? You're not in their roster.
No one expected this but well deserved. They played like warriors.
Dimitri, I love your storytelling! You're really good at speaking with energy and passion, which in turn rubs off on the listener!
AleksiB is the goat never doubt him again
Aleksib's celebration is also the best celebration in cs history
I've reviewed some of JL's demos. Pretty well convinced he's on the gear.
Such a great run from Na'Vi. If I wasn't a fan before, I am now. I love that core, I love jL and iM, they are SO legit. This core is fun, youthful, and damn good too. Let's go Na'Vi!
I freakin' love when Dimitri shows up on camera.
Navi deserved the major. As hard as it is to say as a Faze fan, they did. So happy for Aleksi, w0nderful and jL, each for their own respective reasons. Not to undermine the rest of the team either. A well deserved victory
aleksiB once again with his tactical expertise 🔥
I cant be happier i knew they have huge potential so glad
Karrigan's record at the Royal Arena is YIKES!
TORILLE
I was pumped for AlexsiB. For Navi to win with Simple on the sidelines is wild.
Im so happy for AlexiB after getting thrown around year after year after rebuilding each team he joins to finally what he deserves 🎉
I knew AleksiB could do it as an IGL. He's a great person and I love to see him do more
Thank you for an amazing recap! Any chance of a review of teams have fallen off during CS2?
m0nesy's 360 pistol was so filthy. in the decider map!
What a major. I wonder how many people get a diamond coin
always believed in aleksib, glad to see the success he's having with NaVi
happy for aleksib
Andrey B1ad3 is Erik Spoelstra (the Miami Heat coach) in the CS World. People might not expect from him anything but somehow he delievers big time
Lets go, dimitri my man!
I expect an apology from theScoreEsports for sh*tting down on AleksiB for the last 2-3 years .
Both teams deserved to win and it was just some crazy counter strike to watch.
It would be cool to add trophies each season for certain things. Like, keep the major trophy (obviously)… but with the Major being at the end of the season and being the biggest event of the season; what if they did what the NHL do like the lady bing, calder, art ross, vezina, etc. or even just have a skills competition after the major right before the player break for bragging rights.
Karrigan over-gambled. Oh well, well done Navi for taking on the pressure and winning !
4:50 wish you had shown JLs deagle ace here. Navi was down early, completely changed the vibe of map 3 and was imo his biggest moment as the mvp of the tournament
Congratulations!
I saw in comments that this was the first major champion for a finnish and a lithuanian. Congrats, and let’s wish that there will be more! With love from Ukraine and good luck for NaVi 🇺🇦🤝🇱🇹🤝🇫🇮🤝🇷🇴
It’s really worth to mention Blade here. Absolutely GOAT among the coaches
Faze vs Spirit what a series the best that Counter Strike can ever be.
an insane way to undersell what was going on with Boombl4 jesus man
Watching NaVi play was stressfull and caused anxiety. Sometimes they looked like the best team in the world and sometimes it looked like they closed their eyes and forgot how to breath
i was kinda sad that faze lost since i was rooting for them, but damn did navi deserved that major, been a aleksiB fan since the 2019 ence run, congrats to him and navi winning a major
Nice Monesy, the goat!
Hype for the win
REVENGE and proven talent for Aleksib TORILLA TAVATAAN
w0nderful new sniper on the block , JL showed he is a superstar and b1t learned english XD
JL eco ace against G2 really sealed their fate at the semi
Wait, Dimitri Pascaluta isn't ohnepixel?!?!
Im new to cs community just so u know 😅
They are brothers
I cried.
it's incredible to see navi win with such a *complex* roster
GGs to NaVi they earned every bit of it, breaks my heart for Karrigan though I hope he keeps competing for a while longer
God karrigan will never catch a break on inferno😂
Aleksib is by far the best IGL right now NAVI showed the Best Team play in the world they didnt even show the best individuals This calls were on Point and can make any player played his best
i just wished ropz performed better throughout the major cause he could have been the catalyst for faze to win the major
maybe frozen takes space or opportunities away from ropz in some ways that twistzz didn't.
will we see any story of videos?
Homie B1t is back my friends!
They finally did it! Heck yeah!!! Congratulations to NAVI!! o7
i was happy with whoever won the final since i'm both a karrigan fan and a navi fan but it was pretty heartbreaking to see faze's third map, regardless was a hype major
One thing I will say is karrigan actually played decent the first 2 maps and was really good individually in the semis
can we have fucking anti-cheat now??
B1t had to study English to support NAVI going international, I'm just glad he had the support of his org and his teammates!
Dimitri being there would’ve been sick
What a great major it has been but if I were to change or suggest anything for a future major is to make finals BO5. With the new MR12 system the games feel very short imo.
New MR12 system and yet the economy is still stuck in MR15, what a joke
Yes or revert back ...
predicting next cs player story, The story of Aleskib : from underdog to superstar
Aleksib gave them the siima in the second map then pull the matto alta in the last map!
