NAVI Dominates Opening Series in BLAST Slam IX Europe Closed Qualifiers

Natus Vincere (NAVI) has started their BLAST Slam IX Europe Closed Qualifier run on a high note, securing a convincing 2-0 victory over Zero Tenacity in the opening series.

The best-of-three match never required a third map, solidifying NAVI's position as one of the top contenders for the main event. The win puts them firmly on track to qualify for the BLAST Slam IX tournament, which carries a reported prize pool of $750K and potentially up to $1 million when team earnings are factored in.

This result is part of NAVI's strong year in competitive Dota 2, following their recent win at EPL Masters II. They have previously qualified for other iterations of the BLAST Slam series, including Slam VI.
