Insider and scout Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov commented on NAVI's victory over Team Spirit in the playoffs of the 20th season of ESL Pro League for Counter-Strike 2 on his personal Telegram channel. Biryukov highlighted Team Spirit's poor performance and remarked on Justinas "jL" Lekavicius's emotions during the match.
"As I said, for Team Spirit to win against NAVI, they needed to play better than they did against FURIA and Imperial. But Team Spirit performed even worse. It was a well-deserved victory for NAVI! As for jL's middle finger, that’s just part of the show; it’s all fine. Moreover, in the last four official matches against Team Spirit, he had his finger up his backside."
Team Spirit finished in 5th-8th place at the tournament, winning $32,000 in prize money. The total prize pool for the event is $750,000.
