European esports organisation NAVI has expanded into CrossFire esports by signing the former Dragons Esports roster.
As a result of the expansion, the Ukrainian organisation will compete in the CrossFire Brazil League in addition to the qualifiers for the 2025 Esports World Cup.
The roster finished Season 1 of this year’s CrossFire Brazil League (CFBL) in third place, taking home $31,000 (~£23,227) in prize money and 110 CFS Points. Points are used to determine which teams qualify for Brazil’s regional finals and the Esports World Cup, taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
As a result of the roster’s third-place finish, NAVI’s CrossFire efforts are off to a strong start, with the organisation sitting in third place behind Al Qadsiah and Team Liquid.
“Every esports fan dreams of being part of NAVI,” said Gabriel ‘GoW’ Oliva, Coach of NAVI’s CrossFire roster. “With a remarkable history and countless titles, the organisation represents the top of the competitive scene.
“Being part of NAVI means accepting a path of effort and passion. We are ready for this new journey and committed to doing our best to live up to the club’s reputation.”
NAVI’s expansion into CrossFire takes its total number of rosters to 13. In addition to the first-person shooter title, the organisation also competes across several titles, including Counter-Strike, Dota 2, VALORANT, and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Why Has NAVI Expanded into CrossFire?
NAVI joins many esports organisations that have expanded into several titles in 2025. The organisation is one of 40 involved in the Esports World Cup Club Championship, a multi-million-dollar initiative designed to improve the sustainability of esports.
The multi-title esports event features 25 different titles, where points are awarded to the winning organisations. The club with the most points at the end of the Esports World Cup wins $7m (~£5.2m) in prize money.
Organisations fielding teams across the majority of events have a stronger chance of winning, and with NAVI acquiring one of Brazil’s best CrossFire rosters, there’s a chance the organisation can achieve victory.
