Natus Vincere has won the "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" tournament Blast Premier Spring Final. In a less exciting finale, the Ukrainian organization sat down with 2:0 (16:8; 16:5) against Team Vitality and secured the first title of the year.

"It means that we are still a team that fights for every cup and can also win them," Navi star Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliw said in an interview after the game. "In the slow preparation for a new player, we did a good job. Especially against FaZe we played good CS.»

Despite the change of players: Navi completes FaZe

Navi had moved announcer Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhaylov to the bench before the tournament and internally redistributed his role as announcer. With Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev, who had stepped in for the time being, the team reacted well to the change of players, and had already left no chance for the major winner FaZe Clan in the quarterfinals.

Opponent Vitality showed after last unsatisfactory performances again in better shape. In the semifinals, the Danish-French line-up against G2 Esports managed to get revenge for a defeat in the group stage and thus the first final entry of the year.

However, there was never any tension in the final, as Navi was already dominant on both maps in the first half. After all, Vitality could not overcome the class difference, which allowed Navi to win a convincing title and travel to Canada as one of the co-favorites for the upcoming IEM Cologne in July.
