NAVI joins Intel Grand Slam race

With its victory at ESL Pro League Season 20, NAVI has entered the Intel Grand Slam race – Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen's squad needs to win two more ESL Pro Tour Masters tournaments and one elite event to secure the award. NAVI has nine more attempts to do so.

Currently, Team Spirit, FaZe, MOUZ, G2, and Vitality are also competing for the prestigious award. MOUZ and FaZe have two trophies each, while the others have one each.

The winner of Intel Grand Slam will be the team that wins three ESL Pro Tour Masters events and one big tournament in the elite Championship category (IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, or an ESL Major). Since their first success, the contenders have nine more attempts to secure three more titles.

Note that Astralis, Liquid, NAVI and FaZe are the previous winners of the Intel Grand Slam award, which has existed since 2018. The fifth season was announced in the spring of 2023, when ESL stated that the competition will begin in CS:GO and continue after the transition to CS2.
